Def getting sued by some dreamer who had their car hit on the street. Cop probably targeted them and they will receive large settlement payout.

and to think that in this day and age the entertainment industry and most of the mainstream news media are heavily attempting to indoctrinate America's youth in to thinking that police = bad.

it's a sick and twisted world we live in today where the media actively cheers for and supports lowlife scum and demonizes good.

Shooting directly in front of him he has a much better chance of putting the rounds where he wants them as opposed to shooting outside the window with no sight picture. Ever wonder why the guys that shoot sideways don't hit as much as they could?

Not when he's shooting through a windshield he doesn't. Safety glass will affect the trajectory, and his vision out the windshield is seriously impacted.

In that situation it would be better to just not even try.

So you think shooting with his left hand when he's right handed with no sight picture would have had better results? Come on.

this may be one of the most ignorant, armchair quarterbacking post in the history of this forum.

Unless you can shoot through the same hole you create, the safety glass diminishes the projectile and causes the round to often change course. Not to mention the glass flying around in close proximity to your face and loss of ammunition. But it was a gun fight, risk vs reward changes quickly.

The combat reload was great considering the intensity of the encounter and the amount of rounds he had already under taken. I have seen much worse with just a little peer pressure hanging over someone’s head.

I doubt that I could do that in my old neighborhood off of Rancho

Awesome example of working through reload during an immensely stressful situation.

That cop has nerves of steel to drive that good while talking on the radio then to pull up next to them like that.

Cool video. Really shows the stress that some of these officers deal with

I don't care how hardcore these thugs thought they were, but I guarantee that they had a "holy shite, we fricked with the wrong cop" moment.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but there isn't a way to activate the radio to speak without having to take one hand off of the steering wheel?
