Don't you see, CWOJackson, it was Officer Taylor's fault that Don Matthews shot him in the back

What part of the English language don't you understand?

According to the coronor Taylor was shot in the buttocks. While you may consider this a part of your back it is lower on most bodies. In some instances the buttocks envelope the head which may be the case with you. The bullet traveled upwards and hit vital organs. This is an established fact.

Either you are woefully ignorant of the behavior of firearms and projectiles, or you are being deliberately obtuse.

There are very few credible ways in the which this could have happened, almost none in my opinion. There are credible ways in which another officer could have shot Taylor while shooting at Matthews.

Why are you reluctant to think about this possibility?

Explain how Matthews could have shot Taylor in the butt & had the bullet hit "vital organs".

How does that excuse the scum Matsuidon? That's gotta be your most pathetic attempted rationalization yet.

Very easily. If I remember, the officers were scrambling for cover when Matthews (a former Freeper, btw - friend of yours?) let loose with his gun. Normally, a buttock shot hitting vital organs would be kinda weird, but the gun Matthews used was (again, if I remember) a Makarov. Sporting a cartridge that is something of a performer, and which can - with the right bullet - punch through body armor. Which is probably why he selected this not really common pistol.

It appears to be you who are deficient in your firearms knowledge.
