Ban Carhartt jackets. They seem to be bulletproof.

Gotta pull the trigger harder.

Now, if it were Duluth, I could believe it!

When we fire our weapons we want to make damn sure that our bullets hit our target – neutralizing our target.”

This coming from NYPD is downright comical.

Whaddya expect when using 9mm!

Seriously, almost 10 posts in and nobody has thought to bring up the real issue at hand? You people are so insensitive.

Is the lingerie designer who got grazed ok? And do we have any pics?

Did they actually recover bullets from the jacket, or is this a lame excuse for missing because the average cop can't shoot worth a damn?

perhaps some more time with their firearms would improve their hit rate?

This, and getting rid of those 200 pound triggers.

 

[kalash]

They probably just missed because their front and rear sights were mounted backwards.

 

[ridleyman]

finally the argument is over, and .45 wins!

Seriously. Cops as a whole have a reputation for terrible accuracy and the NYPD is known as the worst of a bad lot.

How many cops does it take to hold up a bunch of white sheets?

20. There are 20 cops in that picture alone.

 

[Jason Flare]

The fact the a NY cop is more likely to miss me is a plus.

 

[Palladin]

But they hit a bystander!

Don't come with me. They're more likely to be shooting at me.

Seems like they have some work to do....

“The bullets we have may be defective and that’s very disturbing,” one source said. “When we fire our weapons we want to make damn sure that our bullets hit our target – neutralizing our target.”



"Another shot grazed the wrist of bystander Lauran Code, a 46-year-old lingerie designer from California."

They are pretty lucky, had they been using Fotay, the rounds would have bounced off and killed 8 innocent people and 3 dogs.

NYPD hasn't learned yet if you snap your wrist forward in a throwing motion while shooting the rounds go a little faster....then they would have penetrated the jacket. That's also how you curve a bullet.

That is the lowest collateral they have had in a long time.

I heard bad guys switched from Triple Fat Goose to Carhart for better bullet stopping ability. Plus it gives the look of a person who might have a job as a bonus.

They were probably using "jacketed" ammo. Jack.

Isn't their accuracy rate below 15%? I never forget the FBI says 3 hits with 9mm @ 20% accuracy == 15 rounds minimum rule...

When I saw that I thought maybe they instituted a new policy instead of their usual shooting up the neighborhood.

 

[wiryone1]

Clearly it was bad ammo... Yea, that's it, blame it on the "defective" ammo. NYPD brass are a bunch of political knuckleheads.

Well, I have to admit, if the story is correct and several rounds hit him directly and were stopped by a coat, they were defective. Now was it manufacturing or procurement who effed up may be open to debate.

And when was the last time they changed out the ammo?

Somewhere in this story is some epic karma payback - an underwear designer from "only cops should have guns" California flies across the country to become collateral damage when shot by a cop in "only cops carry guns" NYC - priceless.
