Oh yeah:

If you are going past a police car-stop and observe an officer being threatened with his own firearm or about to get his head squashed with a tire iron, please feel free to intervene and spray some lead at the bad guy until backup arrives. That cop might be me: 16 years and still going. I love gun nuts.

officer, per section nine of the texas penal code, if I see you being threatened with your own gun, or about to get bashed with a tire iron, I will, to the very best of my ability:

direct aimed fire into the bad person's center of mass

until he is no longer a threat.

I don't intend to spray lead-I'm not a rambo wannabe. My job is to stop the threat, with whatever level of lethal force is required.

Well, "boot", as a 22 year LEO, I can tell you that your head is firmly up your posterior. Your attitude demonstrates your belief that your little tin badge bestows upon you "jedi-like" wisdom when it comes to firearms. I have always felt that the two things that 90% of cops have little to no knowlege of: guns and the law!

Semper Disgusted
