Shoot out with police caught on tape

The guy who opened fire on police is dead and likely regretted not putting the truck in park.

    If you watch the video closely, at about the 0:35 mark, you can see his cap go flying off his head.

    [announcer voice] HEAD SHOT!!! [/announcer voice]

    Good riddance.

    +1 Jake!

    I wonder how many shots fired vs how many hits on target. Also where did the errant rounds go?

    I could see several hit the truck. Unfortunately, it looked like a residential neighborhood, and I think a house was the backstop. I hope nobody was home.

    On the other hand, what’s the officer (or anyone else) supposed to do when he’s being shot at?

    This illustrates one reason I would absolutely love to see something like a Star Trek phaser – with a reliable stun setting, you wouldn’t have to worry about a stray shot going through a wall or kitchen window and killing someone you didn’t even know was there.

    Lotta return fire. How many cops were there? Was this a felony takedown gone wrong?

    Could this be a citizen who has had enough of the police state, rather than a criminal?

  5. Weer'd Beard Says:

    Another +1 Jake (for a total of 2!)

    I don’t disagree with what the cops did, they took hostile fire and returned it wholesale.

    Just makes me pucker seeing all those shots going off and those homes in the background.

    Not for long, though.

    Even if you have “had enough of the police state”, if you open up on the cops without provocation at a mere traffic stop you -are- a criminal.

    What if you or I had shot someone in the back like that as he was trying to flee? What, you figure, are the chances we’d be brought up on charges?

  9. Sebastian The Blogless Says:

    It’s not like they executed him while he was lying on the ground surrendering.

    He was still in possession of weapon that he had used to shoot at them, and was going for cover, from a place he could still shoot at them.

    The return fire does seem excessive, but that’s merely a function of them probably only getting 10-15% of the rounds on target, as is the national average for Barney Fife. You’d have to shoot at lot to neutralize the threat if you were that bad of a shot as well.

  10. Paul Says:

    The cops had a fairly safe background.

    The idiot bad guy who left his truck in gear got what he deserved.

    He is now in the prison of no parole (HELL.)

    Capped his you-know-what they did!

  11. Bubblehead Les Says:

    Waste of a perfectly good pickup.

  12. Will Says:

    Bear in mind that he is climbing into a much more effective weapon than the one he had in his hand.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
