I believe anyone high on drugs who is shooting at people should be killed to protect the innocent.
If someone is shooting at you, it does not matter whether they are high on PCP or alcohol. The officers shot back, obviously in self defense, and they were better shots than he was...................
45 times sounds okay to me when that turkey is shooting at the LEOs.
I’ll take “Stupid Prizes for Stupid Games”, Alex!!
Looked like he was still returning fire to the cops from the ground almost right up to the end. There was one shot after the “Cease Fire” that might have crossed the line, but he was still moving and still had the gun for most of the video. So at least 44 shots were appropriate.
Like Barry Farber (radio personality) used to say, Let’s kick it again, it’s still wigglin’!”
Shoot him again, he’s still wigglin’!
Who do these idiots think they are selling to?
Wow! Nice way to piss off a whole bunch of potential clients.
Let’s see ... Dirtbag doped up on PCP, shooting at Police, High-speed chase, terrorizing the folks on the road, ... should have shot him a few more times to make sure he was DRT! I was actually looking at an Alien Gear holster for my M-92FS ... emphasis on was.
I own Alien Gear holsters. I won’t buy any more.
Were the cops lousy shots or was it likely the PCP?
If someone is suitably high, shooting _at_ them 45 times may very well be needed to stop their assault. Not every shot may connect, not every hit may be immediately decisive - especially if the body is confused enough to not be aware it should stop. If there isn’t a central nervous system hit, nor a mechanically disabling hit, then you’re just waiting for the perp to bleed out or quit.
WHAT POSSESSED alien gear holsters to say anything?!
S’what they get for hiring or using a “social media” employee. They make a decent enough product, likely turning a decent enough profit, and then this. Not very informed considering the market they sell to.
Pretty sad really, like their holsters....now the way of Penzey’s spices, domino’s pizza, grubhub, etc.

Sometimes shooting at a suspect is just trying to suppress his outgoing fire. Get him ducking and moving, and he is less likely to be able to aim properly.
It is really no different that immediate action on an ambush or an unexpected meeting engagement.
I just forwarded that article to four cops I know. Hopefully it will go viral.
That guy was anything but ““A reasonable and prudent person follows a police officer’s orders”
Alien Gear’s mea culpa on FaceBook:
Alien Gear Holsters would like to apologize to all of those out there that felt an earlier post this morning was anti-police.
Alien Gear Holsters has a long history of supporting our LEOs all around the country. As an example, it has always been one of our policies to offer free rush service to active duty LEOs.
The post was removed immediately once it was brought to our attention that the wording used could be found offensive to those in our police community.
Alien Gear Holsters prides itself on being a staunch supporter of our hard working and brave police officers, and we will continue that support eternally.
