I would hate to experience “unfriendly” fire.
He is lucky that most officers are not proficient and I speak as a former LEO that was a firearms instructor.
WHen they get to judge themselves, everything is a-okay
Just like EVERY TIME, procedures were followed, all was fine.
F-ing women cops, man. With no physical presence and no strong commanding voice their gun is all they have. I don’t care if is sexist. They make me really nervous.
19 shots and nobody was hit? Get thee to the range.
19 SHOTS FIRED,,,”No one was injured in the incident.”
uhm...how’s that LOWERING of hiring and training standards working out for ya?
There is a distinct possibility that they will be minced meat shortly after he declares martial law.
Lets say no laws or procedures were broken why would the taxpayer want to continue employing an inept officer who can’t properly assess a life or death situation and a trigger happy goon who unloads his firearm Yosemite Sam style and ignores commands to stop?
Try being a normal civilian who fires 19 shots at a guy you are afraid of...
Try missing that many times, in public, and not being charged with something!
So the simple sight of a gun is valid. The real sad part is there were 19 shots and nobody hit anything. Not even a dog.
So, what is the civilian-speak code to shout at a police officer who is firing 19 rounds in your direction to get them to reconsider?
Hmmm - I wonder whether a safe word like "palomino" would do the trick...
I don’t know what’s more humiliating to the police: 19 shots at a fellow officer, or the fact that he was uninjured.
With more vacation pay, time off and bigger pensions, Im sure they could stop incidents like this . . . /sarc
WOW, that's a very RARE and unusual finding.
If you read some of my WAY, WAY, WAY back posts, I said on this was what would happen when the cops transitioned from the wheel to the auto. On the firing range, us older guys shot six shots, in the head or X ring. The new guys shot sixteen rounds and most were in the arm, the clavicle or total misses. I said “ There’s gonna be a lot of collateral deaths around here”.
That is one STUPID Leo. Besides being a very poor shot. (thank God)
“Family member Dr. Werner Weissenhofer reports from Vienna. It seems that a felon armed with a .357 revolver robbed a bank. As he left the bank, he was accosted by a policeman whom he murdered with one shot. Great excitement ensued, with the felon taking hostages and racing madly around from one store to another. When the forces of law and order had been mobilized and surrounded the goblin, a policeman volunteered to trade himself to the goblin for two hostages. This offer was accepted, at which time the felon fired at the policeman and seriously wounded him. The forces of law and order opened up with everything they had, which was mostly AUG [5.56x45 NATO] and Glock [9x19 NATO] fire. Shortly, the goblin killed himself with one round. He had fired three times and achieved three hits. The police, according to their official report, fired 1,261 rounds without drawing blood.
At one time, we used to refer to an event of this sort as a “Chinese Fire Drill.” Later we came to call if “Father's Day in Harlem.” After the interment of the Ayatollah Khomeini, we began to call it “An Iranian Funeral.” Now, I guess we can call it “A Viennese Bank Robbery.”
As I have often stated, if someone wants to shoot at me, I sure hope he does it on full-auto.”
maybe some mandatory time on the firing range is in order....
