Alleged Drug Dealers, Robbers Had Been Under Surveillance By Officers Before All Hell Broke Loose Thursday Morning

Pump-Action Automatic Shotgun Used Against Cops, 5 Wounded

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBS) ―Jersey city looked more like a war zone early Thursday morning.

In the hours since the deadly shootout that injured five police officers doctors have been working furiously to save the lives of the two most critically hurt.

The gunfight erupted just before dawn Thursday during a police stakeout in Jersey City.

Officers were tracking the two people seen in a surveillance video robbing and shooting a man last month.

But they said the suspects -- Hassan Shakur and Amanda Anderson -- were ready for them and armed with lethal firepower.

Really? Sounds more like an attempted breach than a stakeout.

I wonder how many Americans have hunted with Pump action shotguns, and this Police Chief says they are only for killing humans.

The first gun I ever owned was a JC Higgins Pump. I have never hunted man in my life.

I’m lazier than that. Pumping is work. If I wanted work, I’d get a job.

I have a Remington 1100 semi-auto. My wife has one too!

Sounds like the criminals need to be taken off the streets the guns can do nothing.

What kind of solution is that? You don't really think that criminals are responsible for crime, do you? You are obviously NOT a law enforcement professional.

OMFG!!!!

Not only an automatic pump action but "...It had a strap on it where he had numerous shells on it."

He had the shell strap!

The dreaded SHELL STRAP!!! That's it man, game over man, game over!

I don't know about the pump-action automatic, but I want one of them 40mm pistols. I won't shoot it, but I know a guy that I can talk into shooting it. "They wouldn't have built it if you couldn't shoot it.... let me hold yer beer."

News media droids that are reading this... You are idiots when it comes to guns. You speak whereof you know not, and it's painfully obvious to even mom and pop democrats in flyover country.

Get back on the porch, gain a little sophistication and subject knowledge, and then come play again.

Get the f’ing gang-bangers off the streets and the crime will disappear. These maggots are as hard to spot as a sore thumb. The only thing that these miscreants contribute to society is crime. It would be like eradicating polio. All up-side!!

I work in JC and I see them everywhere. Just praying for the national reciprocity legislation to pass next time so that I can walk the streets there w/ a fighting chance. My carry permits allow me to carry in most states outside of NJ.

This Chief is an idiot, and he has no business being chief of anything.

Well the automatic pump ones, i think. Then there’s the issue of the retractable stock and amo belt. In the aggregate, clearly a threat. Just learning to operate a belt fed automatic pump shotgun could represent a formidable challenge to any citizen.

Hey, haven't you ever pumped an automatic weapon? Its sort of like the way liberals masturbate, I am told.

Ya just point it anywhere and pump and pull the trigger.You either dkill siomeone or create a single mother marching towards the health care remedy of Abortion.

Don't laugh though. This shows you that the liberal socialists think that shooting guns and sex are much the same.Freud would have a field day, and how many Freudian slips will it take to wake up the nation to these A$$ Hats?

Pump automatic shotgun, indeed.

‘In a month they didn’t have plenty of opportunity to take these guys down without a gun battle like this?’

That wouldn’t have been nearly as exciting!

I have my eye out for some of these Guns running around the streets.

My 20-gauge Savage pump has proven deadly to a LOT of rabbits and pheasant but has yet to be aimed for any reason at another human. Possibly where the chief comes from there aren’t any rabbits or pheasant to shoot (and eat) therefore only leaving humans as huntable game. I’m just trying to help him out here ‘cause his logic is escaping me.

And I want to know why my father did not buy me an automatic-pump shotgun all those years ago. Damn him, I’ve had to work too hard all these years when I went hunting. Why, if he weren’t already dead I just might start my human-hunting with him!!! LOL

Which begs the question: Who is sicker? Those who confuse their sex organs with firearms? Or those who want to take everyone's sex organs away?
