After reviewing the evidence, they ruled the use of force was justified under Texas law.

As far as this criminal is concerned, they could have unloaded 100x the ammo, and it would still have been justified in my mind.

Was the Mall a Gun Free Zone?

A dark day in my city’s (recent) history. Glad this officer was on scene already ... could’ve been a lot worse.

[Dennis M.]

That was a real heart pounder.

[Leaning Right]

That single police officer immediately ran towards the sound of gunfire. All honor to him.

Contrast his behavior with that of the Parkland school deputy, or with that of the entire Uvalde police department.

Another tan white supremacist…

[Ex-Con777]

I don’t think I heard any burst from the gunman of more than 7 shots with 20 second intervals in between. Still the pantywaists are throwing their high capacity magazine tantrum again.

Yes as it is a Simon mall. Here are the Simon policies: https://www.simon.com/legal/code-of-conduct

Though that said, as it’s an outdoor mall and from what others have said it isn’t actually posted legally/properly for Texas law to actually bar guns from the property.

Incrementalism. It’s worked for them before - ban bits around the edges if you can’t ban the subject proper. It’s how we’re in the state we’re in right now.

Too bad too many people on our side don’t understand it and won’t use it to restore our rights - instead demanding it all and demanding it now. Historically that usually doesn’t work nearly as well as incrementalism.

That there is good police-work!

[Bullish]

Maybe they should have called in a social services counselor instead?
Right democrats?

At a typical bank robbery in Texas!

[Zack Attack]

Kudos to that officer, he handled it like a pro.

[Hatteras]

Good for the cop but dang, he needs to get to the gym. I was trying to breath for him!

[old school]

Maybe, but he ran a long way with at least 30 pounds of gear on him, (not counting the rifle and ammo). I’m sure a lot of his breathing had to do with the adrenaline circulating through his body.

[rlmorel]

LOL, and in the movies when the robbers ran to their car, the old guy picked his gun up off the floor and began pounding away with his cannon through the plate glass windows at the fleeing robbers!

Great scene!

Er, I didn’t post that...

[Delta 21]

He still had control over his breathing when he fired. He did a great job.

[Spktyr]

In addition to the other factors people have mentioned, it wasn’t exactly the coolest day in Texas either - not the peak of summer like now, but it had to be in the 80s and with a merciless sun beating on him... Another consideration is that he’s got no idea where the shooter is, so running blindly isn’t the greatest idea.
