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).

Good heist!
I’m praying tons and tons of chatter amongst wannabe jihadis is being picked up, and intercept plans solidifying.

I have to agree, that was some awfully good shooting in a crisis moment.

Shot placement matters.
Hits count.
You can’t miss fast enough to win.

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. Don't forget, "Piss Christ" was done by a homosexual and funded by the National Endowment for the Arts which is funded by the taxpayers. So not only did we get personally attacked and insulted, but we got to pay for it as well.

LOL - I never understood why when he got up the second time the guy didn’t go for the head shot.

The Big Question is: Did he aim doublehand or did he shoot from the hip?

Kind of reading between the lines but it looks like the cops armed with AR’s were engaging the terrorists which gave the cop with the .45 an opportunity to take clean shots.

I’ve always had the impression that the vast majority of jihadis are utterly useless as marksmen. They just bring lots of bullets and spray.

I don’t think the traffic officer was “lucky.” I think he had God on his side. Consider who he was shooting at.
