    Police are damned if they do & damned if they don't; no good deed goes unpunished.

    The "clicks" that confuse me are the ones before the 1st shot... perhaps the SIG DA mechanism clicks even if it's OOB?
    When the 1st shot was fired if something was in the way of the slide (preventing it from cycling), then Wilson would have to rack the slide to eject the spent casing and get a new round- makes perfect sense... it was clicking on a spent casing.

    And absolutely the DA aspect of the pistol helped get the 1st shot off.

    As usual, the UK and European press does a better job of covering how this went down last night than our own MSM. Pictures really are worth a thousand words.

    I understand where this line of thinking comes from, I really do. These are punks and thugs and criminals and that would be a very good deterrent. However, you think the shitstorm coming down on the officer who shot Brown is incredible? What about the shitstorm that would come down on the cops using fire hoses on black people in a civil unrest situation a la the Civil Rights movement?

    Like I said, these criminals need to be dealt with...but the fire hose idea is the most preposterous thing that has been suggested so far.

    now that IS some scary shit. a 45mm auto? Our chain guns in the Corps were only 20mm. a 45mm auto would be wiping some shit out.
    Almost a mk19 aka 40mm ,,loved firing that BEAST.
    Would hate to carry one on patrol.

    If you can filter through all the tabloid BS, Dailymail actually consistently has very good reporting. They were the first and most accurate during the US ebola stuff too.

    Just a quick example of Dailymail's more accurate reporting. Notice the captions.

    The only thing I have against the Daily Mail article is their reference to Michael Brown as "the victim". Darren Wilson and the citizens of Ferguson are the victims here. Michael Brown is the posthumous perpetrator, Al Sharpton is the living breathing perpetrator (albeit aided and abetted by jackwads like Crump and Holder and Barry O).
