South Africa is a rancid next of criminal behavior, and unfortunately, their cops clearly aren’t very well trained. In the security camera video below, several officers are attempting to engage a gang of armed robbers at a Katlehong township gas station.
There are two officers in the footage. The officer with the rifle is in a kneeling position engaging the robbers with a semi-automatic rifle, while his skittish partner bounces around behind him like a five-year-old on a long car trip with a full bladder.
The officer in the rear finally decides he wants of a piece of the action, aims, and presses off a shot, just as the officer with the long gun shifts to his right to get a shot on the same suspect.
The officer in the front seems to have died immediately from a shot to the back of the head or upper spine from his partner........
The fact remains that you must avoid what firearms trainers call “shooting from the back of the bus.”

Warning that there is a pretty graphic video from a surveillance camera at link.
What?
White farmers fleeing the black land confiscations and violence are allowed to flee the country with a small amount of money or possessions.
Bump
And I've only had one beer. I could see it making no sense by the time I finish the six-pack.
“What?”

I’m assuming it was a typo, should be “rancid nest”.
A muzzlesweeper behind ya seldom ends well. These guys should have had CornerShots for such situations.
That is what I think too.
Always hated patrols in tight jungle where we had to be single file after the guy behind me with an off safety m79 blooped a 40mm grenade right next to my feet. Thank God for adequate arming range. Armed folks behind you can be worrisome.
It may not explode, but it could still hit you if the soldier is an idiot with muzzle control.
I think the word he was going for was “nest” or “nexus”, but he suffered from autocorrect syndrome.

Well, his aim was true...
Very heady incident.
Kinda blows your mind...
Maybe they meant rancid nexus?
Someone won’t be making it onto the promotion list anytime soon.
Thanks for the warning - I would NOT want to see that.
Yup, but it doesn't have to be a deadly threat situation though. Can happen when you're out hunting with friends, for instance, as happened to me when I was a teenager.
My best friend and I were deer hunting. We agreed to move through the woods abreast of one another, not to move off our line of travel, always keep the other guy in sight, etc. Seemed like a safe plan.
I saw a deer. I looked to my right. I could see my buddy. I got the deer in my crosshairs. My trigger was about to break, when what should happen?
My buddy came flying out of nowhere right directly across my field of view into my crosshairs. He saw the same deer and wanted to get a shot.
My God, he doesn't know to this day how close he came to dying absolutely dead doornail dead that day.
I never went hunting with another person ever again. Not worth it. If you can't trust the person you trust most, you can't trust anyone.
Ah. Now that makes sense. eVen after six beers. Thank you.

My impression from afar is that once Mandela was elected and apartheid ended that South Africa went from a relatively safe nation with some black ghettoes/townships to a very dangerous and corrupt nation with a few white areas that had to be made into virtual fotresses (as the Oscar Pistorius trial indicated).
