Oh man. Decades of hiring pakies, chinks, chugs, and racial/sexual trash has turned the RCMP into the keystone cops. This cop sounds like Joe Catface when he’s half in the bag… and shoots like him too…
FFS. How far away is the car? 25 yards? These goofs had trouble keeping the shots on the car. Who taught these guys how to shoot? And who signed them off? And the perp escaped afterward…
Sigh.
Y’know I hear the yanks bitching all the time about the FBI and I get it… but hell’s bells, I’m old enough to remember when the Mounties were right up there with law enforcement agencies like Scotland Yard.
😞
Yeah. Y’know… I think I’ll be keeping my guns thanks, Mr. Prime Minister…
and trying to out yell the siren.
ReplyDeleteOne of the take-aways of the 1986 FBI shoot-out in Miami was law enforcements mindset/reluctance to not use their long-arms even when it is readily available.
ReplyDeleteI get that they always have their handgun so it is a no-thinking, its there tool. But the gomer was immobilized and wasn't going anywhere very fast.
Two cops with ARs or 30-30 Win or SMLEs spread out 60 degrees from the target and it would have been game-over.
Well shoot. Joe - I am pretty sure some of those squad cars are carrying 870 shotties and surely those goofs could handle that competently, I'd think?
DeleteI dunno if they are backing around AR's or not... but a well placed load of 00 buck woulda cut that episode much shorter...
LOL...seriously? I'm not gonna armchair quarterback this because a.) I've been in this guy's shoes a time or two, and b.) because of that, I know what he had to work with.
ReplyDeleteBut how about you? When was the last time YOU were in a gunfight, Glen? How about any of your readers? Have any of you even so much as heard a shot fired in anger? Have you even been in a fistfight in your entire adult lives? I'm gonna guess probably not. And no, those times you gave your old lady a fat lip doesn't count.
And I'd guess 'probably not' because if you had, you'd know damn well that shooting at 25 yards on a square range is worlds apart from shooting in a fluid 3D environment, while you're jacked on adrenaline and your target is some asshole equally jacked on adrenaline (and probably crystal meth) who is shooting back at you.
I don't know this police officer. But whatever you might think of his shooting ability, by virtue of the mere nature of the incident and how it played out, he's lucky to be alive. So is the suspect, who by the way did get shot a few times and somehow managed to live.
I mean, really Glen...tell me you're not THAT obtuse that you'd really believe that actual gunfights play out the way they do in Hollywood movies.
You should know me better than that JL. I am as obtuse, rotund, and gaseous as they come! And proud of it!!! HAR HAR HAR!!!
DeleteAnd yes I have shit myself again, it appears. This is just a crappy vid, the guys coulda been at the end of a tough shift, yadda yadda yadda.
And even with the DEI crap I spouted... my disgust is less with the officers and far, far more with their training. I've seen you guys at my gun club, the local constabulary here use my range to train and I am just peachy with it. But it is far, far too little. I've seen the average officer shoot. There's no nice way to say it: your training is shit, and the results showed here on the vid. Don't get mad at me - I'm saying this because I love our cops and squaddies and I want to see them live and go home to their families.
If I was your boss with the wherewithal to turn out competent shooters, You'd be required to spend two to three nights a week on the range. You would have to go through at least 5000~10,000 rounds a year. I'd insist you guys get at least a couple trips a year to the so-called "kill houses" that the SEALs and squaddies use to train. I would further require every last one of you guys to carry firearms even when off duty and be prepared to use them at the drop of a hat. Properly trained, in this incident? The driver's side windshield should have been a mess of powdered and broken glass. The perp should have died in that car and never gotten out.
DeleteMy official stance on the incident isn't that this isn't incompetence so much as a lack of proper training. Properly trained, even the women, pajeets, and DEI flunkies should have been able to neutralize that perp in seconds.
I got in supreme shit a couple years back when that failed liberal social experiment decided to go to the food court at the mall and shoot it up - but there happened to be another kid there with a piece of shit compact Glock. When the perp pulled his gun to start shooting - the kid pulled his cheapo pistol and did a mag dump on the perp from 40 long paces away. Something like two or three shots missed - the rest went straight into the boiler room and put that turd down for good.
DeleteThe gunnies all clapped and barked with glee and adoration - the kid was Wyatt Earp reborn!!! What a hero!!!
I said nonsense - the kid WAS a good shot, he WAS a hero... but he hadn't done anything you or I couldn't do. He'd put his time in at the range, and when he made the decision to end the perp - his hands went into drill mode, and even with the pucker factor - just about every shot hit. His success was all about training, and nothing else.
I hope YOU are staying on top of your pistolcraft, JL. And your friends too. You owe it to yourselves and your families. And, of course - to your fan boys.
:)
To JL's comment, I hace survived an attack by a junky who tried to car jack me in Edmonton. I'm not going to comment on the video because i wasn't there, but my experience was hand to hand against a guy with a screw driver and maglight trying to stab and club me like a baby seal.
DeleteI got so focused on fighting the asshole who attached me I never saw his cohort sneak up behind me and kick out my knee.
My point is sometimes you get so focused you get tunnel vision.

I'm just going say the radio chatter was fucking hilarious! You canucks! Love the accent. "Shots fired, I think". "Are you hurt? Did he shoot you?" "He shot my car, my windshield has a bullet hole in it" "where are you?" "Just give me a minute". I'm fucking dying here.
