I Could Easily See Me Pulling My Gun Quicker.” Community Activist Receives Sobering Lesson
bearingarms.com ^ | 2/6/2015 | Bob Owens

Quanell X, the head of Houston’s New Black Panther Party and one of the agitators who has gone after everyone from George Zimmerman to Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, has almost always sided against the police in officer-involved shootings of suspects.

He is now singing a different tune after personally going through “shoot/no shoot” training with the Missouri City Police Department.

X played the role of a law enforcement officer responding to calls in a number of different scenarios, and had to chose whether to use his gun (a realistic training weapon that fires man-marker rounds), a taser, or not to employ any force at all.

Gee whilikers there mr.X. Guess it's not quite as simple as you figured it was huh? Of course this was a training excercise and just a small sample of the IPOS/SPOS that cops deal with every day. How soon will the training wear off and it's back to the same old same old? When the money slows down? But thanks for at least taking the training.

Mr. X better be careful. Now that Bloomberg has taken away his salt shaker and Big Gulp, he’s coming for his guns.

.
Who paid for that training?

Is it open to the general public?

Quanell X, wow that’s a pretty cool name. I think I’ll change mine as well to “Zordxiet Y”

Not to worry, this leopard ain’t gonna change his spots. The next time there is a POlice shooting of an African-African black person of color that can be exploited, Quanell X will be right there. Saying whatever he needs to say in order to get the “community” outraged enough to fire up the neighborhood and engage in a little undocumented shopping.

Walk a mile for a Kool 100? Oh, the police shoes. LOL! At least he took the course so he could get, at least, a glimpse of what the LEO’s face and instant calls they have to make some times.

Don’t know. There’s a gun shop here in town(Reno NV) that offers a similar set up with pseudo weapons that recoil and target marking capabilities that you and the trainer review. I haven’t taken it but from what I hear, it’s as good or better than some of the LEO shoot/don’t shoot set ups.

There was a case a couple of years ago here in Houston where a guy defended himself against a minority. The media went to QX, as they always do, and he said he looked at evidence and agreed it was justified (self-defense). You could the jaws of the media drop just then. From that, I always that this guy had some potential to be reasonable.

I give him credit for doing it publicly. There was one situation where a guy was coming toward him with a knife. He “shot” the guy. He was asked when he saw the knife. He said “To be honest, I never saw the knife. He could have had a lollipop and I would have used force.”

Glad to see he changed his tune. I went through a handgun class not long ago through http://www.shootersplus.com training where we had lot’s of “shoot - no shoot” scenarios and it was very “humbling” to say the least. You literally had split seconds to choose whether or not to shoot.

Somehow I think of him more as an F-UP Y.

Yup. A libtard is a libtard to the the end. He’s past 40 right? there’s no hope for this racist puke. He must’ve been pissed off whitey was there training the “boy” how to shoot the white man’s evil instrument, the gun.

This is just so typical of the left - like a dog with a bone, won't let go of some opinion that they derived from emotions, until they understand the facts.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if this could happen with leftists regarding the tenets of limited government, federalism, individual property rights, the thinking of the founders, the thinking of the framers...

I’ve seen and listened to this racist POS many times, especially on the old Hannity/Colmes program. I would like to participate in a “shoot/no shoot” using live ammo and Quanell X posing as the perp.
