Wow! Either incredibly bad shots or that guy looks like a piece of hamburger :gun:

Wonder if the surviving family will sue for lead poisoning?

Maybe the cops thought they would aerate the lawn while they were at it.
I think the guy on the right fired about 10 shots from about 12′
I’ve got to think that if they guy didn’t drop his gun at that point it was because he didn’t have any muscular control at that point. It was all over but the twitching.
It would be pretty understandable if the cop from the first car dropped a load. I would.
Anyone know the backstory on this?
:gun: :gun:

You’re right.
Suicide by Cop. He pointed the gun, started shooting while walking towards the Officer to give the Officer a better target, after being shot and going to the ground, he still wouldn’t drop the gun forcing the Officers to continue firing until he was fatally wounded.
The guy was at the end of his rope and wanted it to end. I fear we’re going to see a lot more of this as the economy worsens, as it’s certain to do. It’s become something of a pattern when the the economy goes in the tank and unemployment skyrockets.
15 or so years ago there were a rash of this type of Officer involved shootings in my area, usually the suicidal individual would get drunk, go into to the parking lot of the Bar and start threatening people with a phillips head screwdriver or even an unloaded firearm.
A 911 call would go out, Police would arrive and the guy would threaten to kill the Officers and after convincing the Officers he was nuts, would the come at them like a mad man, forcing the shooting and boom, boom, out go the lights.
Then the dead guys family would scream bloody murder, a ACLU type Lawyer would sue the city for wrongful death because and I quote, “it was only a screwdriver”. Then the city had to hire experts to explain that if you take an 8″ phillips head screwdriver through the liver (very possible) the person wounded has than an hour to get on an operating table before he bleeds-out and dies no matter what first-aid is administered. Pressure on that type of wound doesn’t work well at all. At least that’s what I’ve been told and that’s what the city’s hired experts said.
I wonder if the guy in the video is the “Obama Economy’s” first fatality.
I suspect they had to MOP that poor sucker up – and bring in an environmental clean-up crew to handle all the lead

Terrible posture.
Had cover,but didnt use it.
Frontal assault with a pistol.
Shot at cops.
What else?

I love it when Rambo says into the radio: “… we gotta dead … we got a party down.”
My only question is why didn’t he go back to his patrol car and fetch the shotgun, you know … just to be thorough.

To bad it wasnt frenchie

He fired 8 shots. One well placed .45 ACP would have done the job. The police should be required to carry .45′s. A 9mm will kill, a .40 S&W is better, a .357 SIG is better yet, but nothing does the job like a .45. Ammo is in short supply, so why waste any on that dead guy.

Some of this is tough to call, particularly since we do not see the entire ordeal, but from the looks of it, Deputy Doughnut worked his way into a real bad situation by working the ordeal while on his knees. Perhaps the protocol of some other professions dictate such positioning while engaged in climactic occasions with pistols drawn and dropping lead, but being he’s an officer of the law, I’d suggest he drop five of the evening snacks that make up his daily routine and return to a regular workout regiment as well as a refresher course at the academy, which his partner seems to have performed well at.
Now, perhaps over analyzing here, but the high speed partner left himself completely dry and seemed to fumble around a bit on the reload. Can’t knock the guy too much here, since his nerves after the climax seemed to have grabbed hold at this point. But meanwhile, with eyes over zealously fixated or even mesmerized by the dead punk twitching, neither appeared to gander at the overall situational awareness, never scanning or even glancing the periphery for the presence of other threats.
Nevertheless, good work by partner. Swift. Sneak. Peak. Shoot (And shoot. And shoot. And shoot. And shoot. And shoot. And shoot. And shoot. And shoot. And shoot.) Mandatory time off without pay for Deputy Doughnut, until he returns to operational conditioning and capable of retaking a refresher course at the academy.
And while I’m on a roll, I may as well come clean. I despise street cops who cruise the streets with their damn windows up, irregardless of the weather but especially when the weather is not severely inclement and resides anywhere between 40-115 degrees. The lazy loafs belong behind a desk or better yet beneath a desk.
