Very few cops actually shoot well. Most of them do their annual qualifiers and that’s it.

Cops are notoriously poor marksmen.
I didn't read the article because the Daily Fail is a garbage website full of bloatware the slows my browser to a crawl.
In the movies if there’s shooting or an explosion the bystanders always move towards what’s going on
He was known to love music, long walks, riding his bike and most of all he loved his family, his obituary read.
'He was know to gave what ever he had to others. He had a very unique sense of style and always looked his best. Jeramiah had an unforgettable smile that would light up any room,' his family wrote.
Awwww...
That video sounded like they were at a firing range.
Or in Fallujah.
I wonder how many bullets were fired.
“Kill them all, for God will know his own.” we can’t take any risks ourselves, such as getting within a reasonable distance of him instead of indifferently unleashing a fusillade of bullets at the group of people.
Here is the other important part of the article:
“ Salyards was recently released from prison for stabbing a city bus driver in 2020. He spent three years in prison after being convicted of the crime and was released in May, prior to the attack. ”
3 years for stabbing someone? Who could have seen this coming?
There was no need to maintain that much distance in this circumstance.
Once the perp is down, the 'closing distance' shrinks, and should be used to the cops advantage.
The continued shots without care for accuracy or risk beyond the target, are reckless.
One knife wielder and four cops.
Bunch of feminized assholes.
The guy had a knife. Get closer.
The cops who hit the innocent so many times tells me they were actually malicious with their shooting.
One of the things always drilled into us was the adage:
(ability , opportunity, jeopardy.)
Did the suspect have the ability to hurt someone. Well, Yes, he had a knife on him.
Opportunity, He might have the opportunity to hurt them or the other people he was near. So it’s important to get any weapons away from him.
Jeopardy, The only one in immediate danger was the man next to him. Did they try to protect that man ? Did they identify
if he was a threat ?
Were the Officers in danger from the Knife, at that distance?
Did the Officers take steps to insure innocents were not in the line of fire ?
And did the Officers stop shooting when the threat was neutralized ?
They screwed up, big time and should be terminated for the terrible shooting and their threat to the public.
Always travel with a dog you’re not fond of...
I think the lesson is don’t be a bystander. Get involved.
According to Dr. Clarissa Cole fully half the candidates who flat out failed her psych eval were hired anyway.
My biggest concern in a shootout is the ...... uh, “passthrus”. A bullet going thru the criminal and hitting my while I’m doing my best to hide behind a lamppost. Mebbe coppers need to use bullets like air marshals do.
Totally acceptable losses, they are only civilians. Rules of engagement are stop the threat at any and all costs...
I would sue them for so much, it would put the department out of business.
Curious to see your take on this event.
I see the APD went into instant CYA mode and tried to arrest the innocent bystanders they’d shot. This would have helped to mitigate their accountability.
