Here is how they do it in Prague on those packed street cars, they have. It happened to a guy from our offices there.

Two guys. One just turns and confronts you, quietly accusing you of stepping on his foot. The other guy holds his knife so just the tinniest, bloodless prick is possible and stabs you in ribs. Wallet, he whispers. You look to the other guy naturally, and he says, Wallet.

Sad thing is...why not shoot the legs? We live in a world where he would have been able to sue the police officer and won!

Only...ONLY..if you have no idea can you even say that.

The legs can be missed. You have never shot at a swinging 2x4 lumber target? And legs are a lot more jiggy than that. The funny thing about that is, if you hit the leg, you are sure to hit the femoral artery, acording to Murphy's Law. No recovery from that in most cases.

You don't understand what kind of tool, a weapon is for a cop. Life extension. Especially his own. Center of Mass Aim, is your only chance to do that.

If it is not down to life extension, you are talking about mayhem with a firearm.

If it is down to LE, why shoot to wound? That is not what the perp will be doing.

OTH, yesterday, a perp was confronted in a Big Store, for shoplifting, in a Mall, nearby.

He drew and fired through one guy, right below his left collar bone, a point blank, aimed shot. The other security guard got clopped across the face and the guy took off.

That is a lesson for young Zimmerman.

I bet that lazy fucker only hit him once or twice, tops.
Pistols at further than 15 paces are notoriously inaccurate when wielded by a flat footed flookie in the throes of adrenaline fueled blood lust. Like the 4 or 5 cops in New York who fired their magazines empty and failed to hit the target from 6 paces away. They DID however hit multiple innocents standing nearby.

Right. When a cop draws it is as near to panic as they are suppose to get.....supposes to. It is always best to count
the hits and the misses.

Yeah, the hit to miss ratio is abysmal in Local Law. Under 25%. I posted some stats recently...somewhere.

IAC, lots of details here. It can come to some truly startling, spray and pray if it gets really real....same as war. It is not something that is widely studied for many reasons.

With LAC shootings involving only one officer, an average of 3.59 police rounds were fired. When 2 officers got involved, the average jumped to 4.98 rounds and with 3 officers or more to 6.48. "The number of rounds fired per officer increases in multiple-officer shootings by as much as 45 percent over single-officer shootings," Aveni says.

So they didn't have a couple riot shields to hold him in the bus while they pepper sprayed his ass down or hit him again with the taser? A dozen cops and lets just open up on him. After the first couple shots, was he still coming out the door after them, or was he firing simply because he wasn't dead yet?

Should of dropped the knife, but he shouldn't have been shot to death either.

Citizens in the streets are going to start doing more than just filming this garbage before long......

So basically, the more cops you have around, the bigger their pussys grow?

Maybe he wanted to kill himself? I mean, if I had police pointing guns at me and yelling drop the knife for 5 minutes straight...unless I wanted to die, why would I do it?

Actually I think the cops did the right thing. I remember this happening and glad he never took the street car on a joy ride. Who knows how many would have died.

He wasn't going any where with a dozen armed cops standing right outside the bus. Never would of got the key turned before his own blood hit the floor. They shot him for not dropping a knife, remember?
