My dad was a cop for over 30 years. I can't recall a single instance where he espoused the theory of aiming for the hand to stop an attacker. Their mindset was that you don't pull your weapon out unless you are willing to use it, and you don't pull the trigger unless you are willing to kill.
I'll be more than happy to eat crow on this one, but I doubt you will find a police academy that conducts handgun training for shooting weapons out of hands.
gotta love the hoodrat pieces of who were filming being able to laugh about it immediately after it happens then turning around and whining about excessiveness
"Get the kid an ambulance! *laugh laugh* Man that wasn't necessary! *laugh laugh* They didn't have to shoot that many times!"
Inside the radius? What the does that matter? Even if a big ass dog is already latched onto my arm tearing me to shreads I can still bend my other ing arm and beat the out of it with a metal stick.
I don't think so. I'm sure it differs from state to state and department to department about how they train to shoot.
I don't know why I've been calling it a crowbar but it looks like a sledgehammer. Either way, you wouldn't be strong enough to use it with enough leverage and force on a dog that was probably ripping at your throat. Assuming you didn't drop the thing anyway.
what's the point of shooting a guy 10 times if he is neutralized? hold your ing fire, moron. those are my tax dollars you're wasting with bullets on a corpse.
So your issue is why spend $30 when $4.50 will do?
What are rubber bullets for?
You never stop firing til the threat is no longer a threat anymore. I doubt the cops even know how many times they pulled the trigger because of the adrenalin rush.
Also, you never shoot to maim because it is illegal.
LOL at shooting the hand to drop the hammer or shooting the leg. That's some Hollywood .
I bet even with the tightest, lightest triggered 1911 can't hit those areas while a guy is coming at you with a sledgehammer with less than 20 feet.
It really made me wonder why they didn't have scopes on their pistols. One of them would have been able to enlarge the target (the hand) and make a clean shot.
One less loser in this world.
Good point.
Dude could have been mentally ill, drunk, temporary insane over some incident, etc. Looked like murder to me. Let's put that fat pig on trial. He didn't need to empty a clip, or even shoot him really.
what happened to bean bag bullets ?
We all know about the adrenalin rush excuse.

This guy REALLY IS a ing idiot.
You know he's trolling, right?
Very simple rules of using a weapon
1. Keep your finger outside of the trigger guard until you're ready to fire.
2. Don't point your weapon at anything you don't intend to kill.
3. When you shoot, shoot to kill.
Most police (non-SWAT) train to shoot center of mass, both to take down the suspect and to limit civilian casualties. And when they shoot, they make sure the threat is neutralized. And an officer only breaks leather when the suspect will not comply with orders to drop a weapon, or if the offer feels he/she/the public is in grave danger. This guy may have just had a pipe, but he may have also had another weapon in his possession. You don't get the luxury of being Monday morning QB when your job involves life threatening confrontations.
Don't point weapons at police!
Yeah, or why didn't they shoot webs out of their wrists and pin him against the wall?
Or how come they didn't use their mind to stop time and apprehended him that way?
Turn off the movies, man.
No, gun training doesn't vary state to state. They're NEVER taught to shoot it out of the hand. They're taught to shoot center mass all the time, every time. Because it's the biggest target. Not a swinging arm. Even when a police sharpshooter comes in, how often is the dude maimed? Never. He's usually killed with a headshot.
Seriously? A pistol scope to enlarge the target? You have to be kidding me.
He must have not paid for his fries.
don't even know where to begin with this comedic gold
to put on your little pecker so you dont get a girl pregnant
they could have apprehended the dude like a real man instead of a scared gun wielding pussy.he had a stick in his hand
turn that k9 loose and let him take that ass down, but don't empty a ing clip because you're shaking and trembling so hard you can't stop. cops are such pussies sometimes.
So what time I pick you up tonight?to put on your little pecker so you dont get a girl pregnant
I never been to Carl's Jr before. They have good burgers or what?
This would have never happened if the guy was using Juggernaut and Commando.
