Great moments in police gun handling
Another NY police officer has his weapon sight on backwards. This has happened before.
Who the hell gives these guys guns with sights on the wrong way?
But, hey, at least it has sights.
And, you know, they didn’t shoot the wrong guy 11 times.

Not Eotech. Sightmark.

Hmm. Can’t tell from pic.

Yeah, it looks like an Eotech XPS to me.

Well, it’s not like NYC cops actually USE sights anyway…

Definitely an EOTech:

D2k speaks truth. I stand corrected. DERPful.

There is no pin there for an autosear. I guess this guy doesn’t rate a happy switch.

At least he has his BUIS up, since his EOTech is “down” (lol).
Although since obviously that EOTech hasn’t been zeroed, makes you wonder if he bothered to zero the EOTech.

What else could one expect? They graduate from Publick Skool, and then go to Publick Kop Skool. Ignorant as a stump, the nice little Useful Idiots know they’re dependent on their masters, and so they will do anything they’re told.

I don’t have an EOTech, myself.
So thus I don’t know the answer to: does it still work, backwards?
I mean, it’s a zero-magnification red-dot, right?
It’s not like putting a magnifier on backwards; it’s not obvious to me that it wouldn’t still work.
(A quick search of the interwebs suggests that lots of people think the EOTechs function just fine mounted backwards, as long as you’re not using them with a magnifier … and some people actively prefer it for having the sight closer to the eye.)

I have an EOTECH. It certainly does not work backwards.

You don’t need to aim an AR-15 anyway. It is designed to be spray fired from the hip and everything falls. Don’t you listed to the news?

Is gun, is not safe. Agreed.
Backwards sights? Is not safe, is reckless.

Somebody on ar15.com noticed the BUIS is a Troy low profile. So double good job.

I’m been told by the media that the ar15 is only good for killing crowds. I thought they were only looking for the one guy?
