It was a stupid action and the idiot didn’t know how to properly reload a new magazine.

Dumb. Just dumb.

I agree, somebody else could have been hit.

The difficulty with the magazine is the adrenaline talking. Fine motor skills go right out the window.

Have you ever lived and worked in the Seventh Circle of Hell?

Did you go there directly from your normal life, without the benefit of a few days OJT?

And you reacted just as you were trained back in the world?

Many do not, some are damaged and never recover.

Two and one half years RVN, have the scars, gongs, license plates... to prove it.
All that and a couple of bucks might get me a cup of coffee at Dunkin Donuts.

The officer was lucky rather than good. Fortunately, no innocent civilians were hit by stray rounds.

One perp dead and one wounded seems like a reasonably good ending to the story.

It worked quite well. Less than a minute after he started firing the chase was over. The most dangerous thing to the public that I saw was the initial pursuit. Tell us how you would have done it
