Collateral damage w/ HPs would probably be even more ‘messy’ and not a ‘clean’ as FMJs. Just a guess.

They should take lessons from this armed granny, who kept her cool when faced with armed robbers...

The cops had no knowledge about whether he was planning to pull off an Aurora-style killing (which was also done with a .45, wasnt it?) and unfortunately, in a situation like that, you have to react as fast as you can and take out the killer. So why didn't they have their weapons drawn in such a dire situation?
Incidentally, all the folks here who have been calling for armed theater patrons who would have risen up and started blasting the Aurora killer...youd have a lot more dead.
And you know this how?

At least there has been some improvement by the NYPD.
They only used 16 rounds instead of 70 some-odd or was that another city?
It’s hard to keep up with all the goings on nowadays.

Good for you. To be able to laugh at own mistakes as you have yours is a sign there is still hope.
Stay strong.

Read the article again.
The perp was hit three times not seven.
Also from the article:
“The police commissioner said the suspect pulled his gun out of his briefcase as the officers approached, pointing at them. “
Doesn’t sound like “an Aurora-style killing.” In fact it was a premeditated homicide where the perp killed his intended victim and was walking away. It was the police who turned it into Aurora redux.

Triggernometry! somebody has to repeat the class because that many misses is a failing grade. It would be good to get Bloomberg in the same class since he misses every time he shoots his mouth off.

I was in NYC not long ago and there was this young cop just standing there near the Javitz Center...female,kinda cute...so I got talking with her,I asked her if she had ever heard of Car 54 and she said "no".I proceeded to sing the intro song for her.I was just in a silly mood,I guess.
Car 54 Theme
Ohhhh GSC, this is very disturbing, because I am one of those few Americans (I think the numbers are few, lol) who likewise remember ALL the words and the melody of the theme from 'Car 54', it is actually a very unique slice of Americana because the line 'Khrushchev's due at Idlewilde' refers to a time BEFORE that airport was renamed 'Kennedy International' post JFK-assassination. And few people seem to know that Fred Gwynne went on to play Herman Munster and that Al Lewis likewise went on from Car 54 to 'The Munsters'.
Ahhh, life's grand pageantry, lol

Only if you miss your target.

Mine is a Springfield XD 45 cal, and it too absorbs the recoil, with some movement back towards my body, then right back on target for the double tap. And I especially like the magazine...13+1.

It’s time to put some flares and cones around your comments.
Take care.

He came around the corner, chased by two construction workers, turned around and pulled his gun on the police. I’m sure, if it had not jammed, he would have killed as many people as he could have. He was angry and he was trying to do suicide by cop (and later reports have said that he was hit seven times).
You sound like you’re in the “but why couldn’t they shoot the gun out of his hand” crowd.
Whenever there’s firing in a crowd, people other than the intended victim are going to get hurt. Guns aren’t magic.

On response to my earlier post, I now think I am wrong. After the weapon is done being fired it does appear that the officer was definitely hitting the perp.

Mine is a Springfield XD 45 cal, and it too absorbs the recoil, with some movement back towards my body, then right back on target for the double tap. I second the motion. These things must be treated with magic pixie dust before leaving the factory.
Despite a higher bore axis, XDs consistently gave me more accurate "double taps" than any of my Glocks. So much so, that I immediately traded off three different Glocks for equivalent Springfields.
