Why One Cop Carries 145 Rounds

[Zundfolge]

Was going to put this in the Amazing and Cool Video Thread, but figured this would make for good general discussion.

Stay in car, accelerate and run him over. Or as perp exits vehicle, ram rear of car. Let the city attorney handle the lawsuit, LE goes home.

I remember when this went around the web the first time. This video is much improved.

Donut's channel is pretty good.... I keep an eye on it.

[TFOGGER]

Stopping power is a myth. Adrenaline is amazing stuff. At least in this case, the right guy left the hospital in a bag.

[ben4372]

I remember when this was a fresh story. I was udderly amazed at the shots this guy soaked up before calling it quits. And all 45s. I can only imagine the emotion the officer was going through.

That just means bring condoms, now.

Gotta agree with kazoo.

Run him over.

Me too. He's pretty amusing sometimes.

I'm rethinking what I carry all of a sudden.

Here's an equal but opposite anecdotal video to help you balance back to the middle. Just skip to like 6:30

Remember they have decided that you can only carry 15 rd mags for your own safety!!

"Why did the cop have to shoot him so many times!?" - ER Doc/surgeon (or whatever the exact words were)



Another case of underestimating the ammo requirements

As reported earlier this week, some dirtbag who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop in Florida ended up “executing” the deputy who stopped him.

The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range.

Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed.

A statewide manhunt ensued. The low-life piece of human garbage was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team officers fired and hit said low-life 68 times.

Now here’s the kicker: Asked why they shot the guy 68 times, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel … get this. “That’s all the bullets we had.”

God bless Sheriff Judd!

Not our own, according to Hickenlooper, “even if it saves one child’s life”.

Would be hilarious if DPD started issuing blowguns.

[Gman]

Guns linked to 4 homicides in Chicago. I'm shocked.

[Circuits]

That was what, 14 hits? Six fatal? But none immediately incapacitating...

Only sure one-shot stop is CNS.

[Shooter45]

Pistols poke holes rifles blow holes. All pistol rounds are extremely negligible. Shot placement is crucial and the only one shot stopper is a CNS shot to the spine or brain. Rifles can have very deceiving results as well depending on bullet style and placement as well. Shoot until it is no longer a threat.

The perp was a dead man running from the wounds he received. The fact he was continuing to fight had nothing to do with the caliber of weapon used and a caliber with less impact energy wouldn't have done any better.

Sounds like the cop DID shoot until the perp was no longer a threat but it took the head shot to stop him despite decent shot placement of his other rounds. A shotgun might hav stoppd him sooner but I'm not convinced a rifle would have done any better given the wounds he already had.

[Gman]

It's hard to say what might have worked differently, but there's empirical evidence that rifles do far more damage than pistols.

[MrPrena]

145 rounds and all that duty stuff for 8-10hr standing would be heavy, but I see the point.
