That was one ugly magazine change.
Interesting how he switched his gun to his support hand. Was he trying to unbuckle? Was there a spare magazine in a cup holder he though he should use? Did he reach with his strong hand all the way to his support side to grab it?
Not sure about what's SOP and whatever but the guy's multitasking was pretty on point. Drove well, shot well, communicated well. ...
I'm sure his ears will be fine. If mine can survive multiple shots from an m4 being fired from inside a hmmwv......I think he'll be ok with a dozen or so from a pistol.Wow that was nuts. RIP the officer's ears. I hope that 147gr cut through the glass like butter. Nice glock setup too.
Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey would surely be up in arm sif this wasa Mass Cop.Looks like the cop had an illegal 15 round magazine!!!!
Best police chase that I have ever seen.
I think the officer caused it to end sooner when he shot at them through his own windshield.
Glad he had high caps and a Glock - and extra mags.
Too bad his hearing is shot.
Incredible skills and bravery.
Shows why often it is the innocent bystander who can get nailed, look at the Grandmother in Weymouth this week
Looks like muscle memory took over and he tried to reload a revolver, no idea where the mag was or about the seatbelt.
edit: looking again in some screenshots he's got the two-handed revolver grip. Stripes on his sleeve may mean he's "seasoned" and may have originally trained on revolver?
That cop was fearless and stayed in the chase until the end, the one thing they need to concentrate more on is weak hand shooting. It seemed like he was very uncomfortable to go weak hand at all. Understanding when adrenaline is pumping, one probably reverts back to what they know which is why weak hand shooting should be added in more. But he ended it so kudos to him
I watched it without sound. When was he getting shot at?The LEO was being fired upon repeatedly -- he gets plenty of leeway for his choices and actions in my book. Of course, he could have given up the pursuit once the suspects started shooting, but that obviously sets a bad precedent.
The chase went for a while with only one backup unit catching up, for whatever reason. I can see how he felt he had to do something to end it. He did get right up on the suspects's vehicle before firing out of his car each time, cutting off the angles for stray shots.
