they are lowering the age to become a police officer because they are in such high demand. i think you only have to be 19 here in washington.That "cop" should not have done several things:
1. Show up late to work
2. Involve himself in the altercation without backup
3. Draw his gun on unarmed people
4. Join the police force
Who lets these fucktards have guns? I'm gonna propose legislation to revoke the right of police to carry firearms unless they go through a rigorous weapons handling course. This kind of shit happens WAY too often. I'm more afraid of police than criminals.
are you serious???every handguin ive shot has been wildly inaccurate compared to any rifle ive shot
You guys are seriously shortsighted.
Think of why there are so many shots typically fired. Thats right, multiple police officers.
Now put yourself in close quarters and have the sound of gun shots echoing around you. If you think the target has a gun, suddenly in your head you can easily attribute some of the gun shots coming from the target when in reality the target may not be firing at all.
It explains a lot of the NYC shootings where an innocent guy is shot multiple times and its usually by a person who has never been in a firefight before.
Its easy to sit back in our class houses and critique when we don't fully understand the situation. I highly doubt that any of you have really given thought to conditions such as these yet you still make assumptions and draw conclusions.
how do you figure? you pretty much get a free gun range and free bullets. 30 minutes a day for a week and you should be able to at least hit somewhere in the outline.They pretty much have to do SWAT to learn how to shoot.
these cops basically suck. i'm not making fun of the situation, but in all seriousness i think the untrained asian kid had a better hit percentage than most cops.if 7 cops end up blowing away some guy for whatever reason (right or wrong) i simply think that they should be able to hit the fucking guy more than 5 times when 100+ rounds are fired

oh ok. thats why a lot of swat are ex-military to. ask blanco though, if you train for something enough, you should be able to just react. i.e. fighting. i still think if a 23 year old asian kid can do it, cops should be able to. shit, cops are getting to be all our age now. they all played duck hunt, if they had a little dog laughing at them, they would get 15/20.I'm talking about learning to shoot when you're in a "situation". Sure you can shoot at a non-threatening paper target at the range, but I'm pretty sure SWAT teaches how to shoot when in certain situations and stay calm.
