The contractor pulled a pistol as he was doing this.

Was he going to shoot it?

Private white contactor shooting and killing a looter (even with a stolen AR15).

He would have be crucified if the dead perp was black.

“When you get to the bottom, it’s like, where are you going to go but up?”

Quintessential American attitude. Absolutely love it!

Outstanding job, Marine!

The cops should be ashamed of themselves for being what almost seems complicit.

Agreed. First time I heard about the first vandal shooting the gun into the cop car a few times. I’m glad the security guy got the drop on him.

The one on film, the kid looked like a punk - but obviously holding an AR-15 was still a threat.

I hope this guy goes far.

Was he going to shoot it?

Had the looter raised the weapon toward him, his training would have taken over.

There’s more going on here than what we were told and what we THOUGHT we were perceiving.

[Old Yeller]

I think the perp was white, so he was clear to do it.

Police don’t use AR-15s. They are full auto M-16s. Bless his action. If the twerp who stole it knew anything about guns, he could have killed a lot of people.

Very few people working means that city, state and federal coffers are not receiving their normal revenues from income taxes. I'm sure these police cars are somewhat insured, but will insurance cover the replacement of ALL of them?

Citizens of these cities, if you welcome these riots and think that total destruction of property is a great thing, I'd better not hear a peep when the time comes to raise taxes in the future. Don't complain about infrastructure services, either.

[marktwain]

The people who are doing this don’t pay taxes.

Bump

[captain_dave]

Brave man.

[marktwain]

They are full auto M-16s.

Some police departments have M-16, some have AR15s.

Considering the political correctness level of the MPD, they are likely AR15s, or M16s which have been altered to semi-auto only.

Get used to it.

[Romulus]

Militarization of the police is a huge part of the problem.
