NYPD cant shoot

[MarkCO]

16 rounds fired by 2 cops = 1 bad guy hit 10 times and 9 bystanders injured. 3 of the hits on the 9 bystanders were full diameter hits, the rest were shrapnel type injuries. The is the most recent information...just so the facts are out there.

The antis just got pissed at their leader Bloomberg because he just sold hundreds of thousands of once fired police brass to the public. I'll try to find the story. But in short, they are training and Bloomberg is a moron.

But one thing you can obsoletely count on is nothing will come of this. However, if a CCW holder killed a gunman in self defense and also shot 9 others in the process, that CCW holder would be going to jail and Bloomberg would be leading the charge using it as the reason he thinks CCW should be illegal.

If this happened in Afghanistan or Iraq these guys would be jailed forever. Since it happened here they will get paid time off. In a war zone it's not ok to accidentally shoot innocents, but here it's just a mistake.

Let's not get too crazy now. There have been one or two non-threats shot in OIF/OEF that didn't result in courts martial. Hyperbole rarely helps intelligent discussion.

I find it interesting as to how quickly we rise to judge those charged with defending our peace. Had someone been armed near the shooter in the Aurora theater, I wonder how many would have been hit with friendly fire while, at the same time, saving the lives of dozens. Before we criticize others, we should be honest with ourselves about our accuracy running down that NY sidewalk after the shooter in fear for or lives and the lives of the hundreds in the line of fire.

Was officer #2 one handing his gun? His hands never come together?

Officer Craig Matthews shot seven times, and Officer Robert Sinishtaj fired nine times, police said.

Armchair quaterbacking or not, that guy (if he's one handing it), is a fucking moron.

So, they approach a suspect that has already killed someone, and officer #1 approaches without his gun out.... #2 has it out, but is weilding it with only one hand.... Yep, they are a perfect example of why everyone argues about training....

It's funny what one does when a gun is pointed at you. The only way to over come this is training, training, training.

I think officer #2 did a tac-reload when he stops shooting.
