Trying to visualize what a shootout would look like were it not wild.

Heard that the Armed Forces contain a significant percentage of foreign nationals presently.

Was the Navy vet a US citizen?

Texas is all about shootouts I saw some video when I was in TV news back in the 1980’s wilder than this from down around San Antonio.

Wishes for quick healing for the officer.

However:
I will to my death stand against allowing female law enforcement at ANY level. They are nothing but an ongoing liability to any agency.

Male officers will always be compelled to expend an inordinate amount of resources and time to protect them.

Even when measures are implemented to “force parity,” nature cannot be opposed.

Of what damned consequence is it if this dead law-breaker was a veteran or not?

I imagine that under the Biden regime, military recruits weren’t vetted particularly well!

I don’t think that the cops’ tactics in approaching the scene were conducive to their survival.

But all’s well that ends well.

“El Paso Police Department responded to a family violence call in the residential neighborhood.”

Family violence and disputes are well known, to be among the most dangerous and unpredictable calls. Due to the heightened emotions involved.

A lot of spray and pray and screaming from that female. Even one time she was running for cover and shooting one handed backwards as she ran.

Several moments there where a well aimed shot could have got him. El Paso PD used to be known for markmanship....

Gotta like how the #2 cop wisely retreated, reconnoitered that his partner had been shot but shooter was headed back to the house while partner had protection of the truck, then came right back into line of fire and exposed himself directly to shooter on the driveway who was firing away, and put 2 of 3 into shooter center mass.
