Yeah, that's not great, but a quick adrenaline dump and having to move because you have zero cover/concealment can cause that. He had a pretty decent reload, though.




The original story said something about the guy was hiding in a bush as well.

You keyboard warriors act like there's not a war on cops who use their weapons in this country

"he hesitated"
"should've never told him to lower his weapon"
"only shot him in the leg"

At least this cop hasn't been crucified by the media.. yet

He is hard to see in the light. Probably damn near invisible at night time.

In the video, he looks like he's on the edge of some tall grass. When the shooting starts, he disappears.

He was holding a flashlight in one hand, so when the other guy shot at him he immediately returned fired out of protection for his own sake. Looks like the first several shots were one handed and then he eventually dropped the flashlight to get two hands on the gun.
