Doesn't come as new to me.

I had heard about the shooting in class yesterday, but didn't know what had happened. That is just.... I don't know what to say.........

The veteran patrolmen who opened fire on the suit-clad gunman, Jeffrey Johnson, had only an instant to react when he whirled around and pointed a .45-caliber pistol at them as they approached him from behind on a busy sidewalk.
Officer Craig Matthews shot seven times, and Officer Robert Sinishtaj fired nine times, police said. Neither had ever fired their weapons before on a patrol.

If you're coming up on the gunman from behind, wouldn't you already have your gun aimed and ready? Or was the gunman like Neo for a second?

On the flip side. If the general public was more concerned about their safety than being on leno, for their million hit shooting you tube video. perhaps less folks would be hurt. A family member on nypd was on scene for the times square knife waving guy who ended up DRT tells me a somewhat different version of what transpired then media or first person reports.

You're responsible for the rounds coming out of your gun.

Applies to everyone.

Absolutely which makes this story even more disgusting.

I looked all over bloomberg.com yesterday for any store detailing that the 9 injured were hit by the cops, needless to say I came up short. I also loved how up until that part of the story came out, the news headlines really painted a picture that there was another mass-shooter who was out to shoot anyone they could ala aurora. "Journalism" is dead in the f'ing water.

While "those two" dummies enjoy their paid time off(while grand jury investigates), they should go to the range!


" " = specif and not generalized.....

Why does the term "armchair quarterbacking" keep coming to mind as I read this thread?
