A Greenville, South Carolina, police officer was ambushed in his patrol car after a suspect pulled up beside him and opened fire in an attack captured on surveillance video and ending with the gunman dead.

Video released by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) shows a vehicle pulling into a parking lot and stopping directly alongside the driver’s side of a marked patrol car. Seconds later, gunfire flashes in the darkness as the suspect opens fire before driving away, leaving the officer wounded inside the patrol car.

The wounded officer was rushed to a hospital for treatment and has since been released.

The officer is lucky to be alive! What on Earth was the weapon? Our society is degenerating rapidly.

The bullet holes in the cruiser are large caliber. They were fired very rapidly, or it was a cannon with multiple projectiles in a single load. It also seems like thermite or other incendiary was used.

A house would be little protection.

This could be a an outgrowth of the malignant anti-ICE anarchist PsyOp spreading among and by the far left

It looked like explosive ordnance to me.

Yep. Their propaganda is often subtle. But it’s also relentless. And so it pushes weak-minded people over the edge.

I don't leave the house unarmed.

This has nothing to do with an uprising.

The 💩 people are attempting to overthrow the USA. They embezzle treasury funds in order to pay mercenaries.

Study the 30 Years’ War to understand how this works.

The fact that they survived is a very good thing... There have been at least a half dozen incidents and more than 10 police officers killed in Canada over the past decade where cops have been ambushed. They typically don’t survive because they go to these staged incidents thinking it’s a run of the mill call, but instead there’s a dude with weapons lying in wait to kill them as soon as they arrive.

Thank God the officer survived.

In this case, the correct person died.

It looked like a handgun first then I thought it was one of those novelty dragon’s breath shotgun rounds that has white phosphorous in it. Wonder if the guy had 2 weapons.

Yeah, it looks like he fired three "dragon's breath" rounds at the car. Based on the burst, it looks like they didn't penetrate the glass.

In the house, they can’t see you, so they don’t know where to aim.

The officer may have been wearing body armor (also still legally available to most citizens in many parts of the country). Most criminals do not wear body armor...
