Meth Head Causes Standoff At A Walmart

Pointing a gun at an innocent civilian and then at police is a far cry from "having a difficult go of it."

 

The cops shot at him but most cannot hit the side of a barn. It's common for less than 10% of their rounds to hit what they are shooting at. The shots they fired caused minor damage to the perp.

 

I bet you pre-heat your microwave.

No just the opposite... Someone who points a gun at someone, is trying to destroy life and is best removed from theirs...
Pointing a gun at someone is NOT having a difficult go at it.... It IS threatening your life

 

10% ? Do you have data backing that ?
I have taken gun training from cops.... Maybe i just happened to pick the lucky ones

 

I would if I could find the preheat button. I'd probably do it on the washing machine, too.

 

I took gun training from a cop. I've seen the data but don't remember where. To a non-shooter or a seldom shooter a cop is much better trained, but lots of cops do minimum training and lots of cops under pressure are terrible shots. I watch a few former cop's YouTube channels where they review cop dashcam and body cam footage with an experienced cop eye. One I remember in reference to the normal and widespread poor marksmanship of cops was an event near Oakland, CA IIRC. about 8 cops trap a fleeing criminal in a public housing neighborhood at a stop sign. The fleeing car has cops in every direction around it when the shooting starts. 100+ bullets were fired by officers at the stopped car with a thug inside. The thug was hit 9 times, the car was hit 80 times 5-10 bystanders outside the cordon of officers were hit by cop bullets. 2 or three officers were hit by thug bullets. They didn't use the same caliber bullets. Donut Operator is one YT channel, there are many others. Everyone under stress shoots less well than at a shooting range. Many cops shoot only the minimum to keep carrying their gun. How hard is it to see a truck driver being just terrible at backing a trailer? You can see it every day, all day. Not every cop is a sniper or gun enthusiast.

 

That's true, many times cops go their entire career and never fire a shot. I couldn't imagine being thrown into that situation. Unfortunately, we are still using old fashioned "shoot em out, cops vs. robbers" mentality, and you'd think there would be a better way by now.

 

And police departments don't hire the same type of people they hired in the past. They are hiring lower quality candidates and they are racing to hire some candidates to satisfy hiring quotas. Not every candidate is similarly motivated, similarly talented, and similarly self-restrained as every other candidate. The results with lower standards is obvious and widespread as is the results of poor quality and unsuitable candidates. The people that apply to become cops DO imagine being thrown into that situation. Goods cops are different from random citizens in many ways, including a willingness to run toward the danger. Thank God for them and they should not be hobbled with ridiculous political requirements that are ONLY meant to make someone that would never do that job, feel good while someone else has a harder time doing that dangerous job. The cops ought to be the most physically fit, calm under pressure, and ruthless and well-trained people in our society, not just some rando that has an approved skin tone or bra size so some politician or activist feels good. Anyone concerned there aren't enough "birthing people" on a police force is more interested in destroying a city, not stopping criminals from terrorizing that city. The police force IS NOT for everyone that wants to be a cop. It is for those that meet all of the tactical & task-related standards, even if it doesn't match the city civilian demographic. Any other requirements is to REDUCE police effectiveness, and it always has been even if those desiring it claim otherwise.

 

What do you know about violence?

I think you're probably the fat, trigger-happy, Boss Hogg type, tryna duh-duh-duh-doo right. But you completely misread the situation, because you have no Social Intelligence, and ended up murdering a man, needlessly.

I wouldn't trust you to operate a manual nail-gun. (Read: Hammer)
