Adrenaline and fear make people do some weird things.

Not sure I understand emptying a shotgun with wild shots and then tossing it on the ground in favor of a service pistol. At least she took action, though. Everyone else seemed to be waiting for some kind of order.

Also not sure about shooting blindly, with a pistol in either hand out the side door of a bus. If you want to hit something, shoot out a bus window between yourself and your target, and take productive shots.

If the guy wanted to get away, he should have ran out the side door much sooner, before the additional police arrived, and kept going. Maybe his purpose was suicide by cop, or trying to stick around and take out as many cops as possible.

Surprised at the ratio of female to male cops on the scene.

Interesting video, though. I’m sure it will be used for training purposes for years to come.

Agree on all points. This video will be dissected and examined for years.

Did the police officer not have any extra shotgun shells to reload with? And no one else had an effective firearm. I think their real purpose is generating revenue via traffic tickets. Adequate guns would be an unnecessary expense there.

Maybe start the bus, jam the gas pedal to the metal, and either go for the ride, or quickly slide out the door before it picks up speed.

The cop with the shotgun, the second tape looks like it was superimposed. In the first tape the front window blows out with a few rounds, in the second tape the cop shoots the shotgun to the window.

I believe it was the same rounds, so he did almost get the perp.

Those Cops didn’t impress me.

One had a knife ready to cut the wounded Cop’s pants open and hesitated and then someone asks if anyone had any scissors. Most people would not hesitate and just cut the damned pants open.
