How not to respond to being pulled over.

Here's some interesting dashboard cam footage of a traffic stop gone bad.

Why didn't they just shoot him in the hand? It can't be that hard, since the shooter did it, first.

The same could be said about the NYPD shooting that guy in Times Square yesterday. 12 shots at 10' for a guy with a knife.

You shoot until the threat is neutralized. Someone who's tripping might not even realize/care they've been shot once or twice.

Just 12? That's weak.

I got into an all day facebook argument with my cousin about that. He just wouldn't give up the "just shoot him in the leg" argument. He also said that if they missed the bullet would have just stopped when it hit the ground, so what's the harm in trying. :facepalm:

I ultimately told him that there are no warning shots outside of Hollywood. The warning is that when somebody draws a gun on you in real life, know you're getting shot. Also, if you got 10 cops with guns drawn on you, don't go full retard and pull your knife out for the imminent gun fight.

That's why I carry 17+1. Why guess about outcome? It doesn't matter how many times you shoot them one or 100 it's all the same.

i think the cop is dam lucky, all those shots and he is shot in the hand with a ricochet off the forehead. It could of ended alot worse for that police officer.

Budget restraints.

I looked at the video, As having been a Police Firearms Trainer, the officer did not have a "mind set" for engaging such a situation. Here he is in a running vehicle with an individual shooting at him, put it in gear and run him over. Deadly force meets deadly force, Learn to use the tools at hand.

Simplicity at its simplest.

I saw the whole video a few days ago. Don't ask me where. Originally the perp pulled away from a traffic stop. I remember thinking as things unfolded and the narration pointed out that back up was not close that the officer was way to close. He would "in my opinion" have been in a better place being even as little as 30' back. Your point is well taken, he should have just run the s.o.b over.

Weird... was it a stolen car? dude seemed the wrong demographic and oddly proficient with his pistol to be the average 'traffic stop gone bad' shooter.

Easy there Rockafella. In NYC, you need to go to the gun loaders union to get your mags filled up. That stuff gets expensive.
