Reports on the terrorist attack on the "Draw Muhammed" art competition in Garland, Texas indicate that the two jihadis, armed with "assault rifles" and wearing "protective gear," were very quickly neutralized (within seconds of initiating their attack) by a Garland traffic cop armed with only a handgun.
The bad guys rolled up at the site, exited their vehicle, and immediately opened fire on a police car at the entrance. They were able only to wound an unarmed security officer before the traffic officer engaged them and terminated the threat (and, in the process, their worthless lives).

He got the drop on them. That's why I carry concealed rather than open. The element or suprise and/or ambush is the deadliest wepon in your arsenal.
Another going around is that the snipers on overwatch dropped the tangos.
Any updates on the assertion the TERRORISTS had select fire AK-47s?
Or that the Officer had a 9mm?
“They were AR-15’s and I’m astounded a single man with a handgun could take out two men with semi auto rifles at the ready and already shooting.”
They do it on TV and in the movies all the time.
Garland. Abundant range time:
Any questions?
Awesome!

Little Bill’s speech (from “Unforgiven”) about how the dangerous guys aren’t the fastest on the draw, but will keep their cool while the other guy(s) are just spraying and praying.
“It all depends on distance. A man with a pistol against a rifleman firing from 100 yards away is in trouble. A man with a rifle inside an elevator with a man with a pistol is likewise in trouble.”
Always use the correct tool for the task at hand for the best results.
Awesome!
That deserves the $10,000 prize
SHAMEFULL ATTACKS BY THE DIMMIT MEDIA TO PAMELA GEELER AND GERT WILDERS
The American Dimmit media has accepted total submission to the mandates of the Islamic terrorist.
In January 17,2015, and in the same public school center, there was a Stand with the Prophet rally by Muslims, a provocative pro-Shariah law event, by supporters Al-Qaida and Isis organized by one of the terrorists implicate in the bombing of the garage of the NY World Trade Center in 1993.
I wonder if those who try to blame the organizers of the First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest, for the Muslim terrorist attack would have justified if some patriotic American had irrupted in Muslim rally on January alive, a real grievance more justified than the alleged 2015 and made a massacre of Islamic terrorists.
After all, Americans are profoundly offended by the abuse of our freedoms by those who made the Muslim rally in support of the savages that decapitate, crucify and burned Christians. The Dimmit media try to justify the terrorist attack because the Mohamed cartoons contest offended the sensibility of Islamic terrorists.
In January 2015, the radical Islamist desecrated the holy soil of Texas. Do not mess with Texas!!!
Col. Cooper said he would rather face a man with a new sub-machine gun instead of one with a rusty old Mauser bolt action. Because the man with the Mauser rifle would know that he had to aim, not spray and pray.
Aimed shots from a pistol beat spraying and praying from an AR-15.
Situational awareness beats both.
“And LUCK.
And the certain fact the jihadis could not shoot. “
Let’s not overlook the fact that these guys weren’t very good. If the jihadis in the US were competent, they could be creating mayhem on a scale never seen before. Remember the panic that followed the Beltway snipers? Or the anthrax scares? This was a good outcome but it was one trained and competent officer against the JV, literally.
Shamelessly stolen from another thread yesterday: “Texas is where jihadis go to get outgunned at an art show.”
“I dont always understand the reasoning ability of the liberals. We are supposed to be concerned about allegedly offensive images of Mohammed, but Piss Christ is hailed as fine art, and liberals cry about how we dont want to censor such fine art, if anyone expressed disgust about Piss Christ.”
What is hard to understand? “Piss Christ” tears down the foundations of Western Civilization. Islam is bent on destroying Western Civilization. There is no contradiction, if your purpose is to tear down and destroy Western Civilization.
Don’t know what the LEO’s actual skill level was/is, but I agree with you he is probably well trained and not afraid to put that training to work...Combat Mindset in practice...
We should all take a lesson, and put that lesson into action...Training, training, training, indeed! That includes head shots! If the first two to the torso don’t neutralize the threat the third should be to the brain box...
If his department didn’t provide his advanced training, then he’s more to be praised for taking the initiative to work at his skills on his own...
It’s common to assume police officers are skilled with firearms because their duties involve carrying guns, but this is not necessarily so...Most probably are, but too many shoot only when it’s required, such as annual qualification times...And many others will tell you they “don’t really like guns”...
Apparently this officer was one who IS highly skilled, as well as fearless...”Me ‘at’s off to the Duke!”
Taxpayer Savings Shots of The Year!
Make that Traffic Cop an OLD SCHOOL Texas RANGER.
Ooooh, Mikey like! XDs rock!
