All shots fired from the front.

That pretty much tells the tale.

It puts the lie to the fantasy stories about the poor little black boy shot in the back while on his knees with his hands in the air pleading for mercy.

Nothing upsets the liberals and Gib-Me-Dats more than the public knowing facts that don’t fit their racist narratives.

Excellently illustrating the point that if you want to make a conservative mad tell him a lie. If you want to make a liberal mad, tell him the truth.

Excellent article written by a doctor:

Stopping Power: Myths, Legends, and Realities

When it comes to claims about the effectiveness of handgun ammo, don’t believe the hype.
January 16, 2013 | by Sydney Vail, MD

As a trauma surgeon and a tactical medical specialist, I am often asked by law enforcement officers what caliber and type of handgun ammunition offers the most stopping power. I can’t answer that question. Let me explain why.

Excerpts...

Now we need to go back a step and define stopping power. Is it the ability of a particular ammunition to:

Immediately incapacitate a threat?
Eventually incapacitate a threat?
Slow down a threat?
Render a person less able to remain a threat?
Knock the threat to the ground?

....

The ultimate stopping power rests with your training with your weapon system. Accurate hits in any reasonable caliber will “stop” a person if that person has experienced enough brain or spinal cord damage to interrupt regular neurologic impulses from reaching vital areas of the body or the person has hemorrhaged enough blood to lower his or her blood pressure where the brain no longer is able to function well. You can also stop a person if a major bone shatters after a bullet injures it, but does that stop the fight?

***All shots fired from the front.***

There are some posters at DU who are trying all sorts of mental gymnastics to figure how those shots fired into the back of the suspect hit him in the front.
