Yeh I second that emotion. The story is he got lucky because the cops were all bunched up. Funny how the rounds just happened to miss the body armor.

I don’t know if its been addressed yet but whats up with a .40 cal hitting one cop a glancing blow? That would be more like a .22. A .40 call is going to blow your head off.

I wonder if the ballistics has come back yet?

Not sure of the ammunition used but a 40 caliber is hard pressed to have 300 ft-lbs at the range they’re talking about.
