Shoot first...Ask question later.

 

This is just another reason why some cops SHOULD NOT have guns....if you need further proof:

So what's your opinion on this........... Did the cop do wrong? What should he have done differently? Would it have been better if he decided not to shoot and this guy kills everyone inside?

Split second to make a decision.....all the time in the world to analyze it. It sucks all the way around.

 

A reason some CIVILIAN's shouldn't have guns.

7 out of 8 on target in a hi pressure situation not to bad.

Until you are put into that situation you will never know how its going to end up.

Remember guys the cop was the good guy........Lets not beat him up or judge him.

That poor young lady's death was not caused buy the officer. It was caused by the dirt bag who tried to rob and terrorize her and her roommates.

So what's your opinion on this........... Did the cop do wrong? What should he have done differently? Would it have been better if he decided not to shoot and this guy kills everyone inside?

Most NYC cops are not trained to handle these types of situations. The spray & pray tactic has it's consequences and this is another example.

 

Cops are not to blame -- the system that forces the public to rely on this is responsible.

U know this how?

Cops are humans too. Its very easy to Monday morning QB stories like this, but for many of us regular guys here - we've never been faced with a life or death scenario in which we were armed.

 

That being said - If one of the residents had been armed - this confrontation may have been done and over with before the cops even showed up. Bad guy could have gotten spooked and run off. Who knows. God bless the family as they deal with loss.

I didn't read the full article prior to posting, but let me make this clear...

 

I never said this cop did anything wrong, all I said was SOME cops should not have guns.

 

But hey, that's called freedom of speach...don't like it? take a hike...

This article is light on details. I have some family in Nassau who are LEO, they are saying perp was holding gun to girl threatening to shoot if LEO didn't retreat. At some point perp took barrel off of girl and aimed towards LEO which is when officer started firing. that was from their Facebook comments not a direct conversation. either way innocent girl is dead and governors bullshit safe act didn't do squat.

U know this how?

A buddy who is a NYC cop. He's a good shot but his daily routine requires him to issue tickets. 

 

Same goes with a buddy who's a NJ cop -- absolutely no firearm training other than shooting at a target to qualify.

If your comment has nothing to do with the article........................ then why say that comment?

........... and no, I wont take a hike.

Hitting 7 out of 8 is now spray and pray tactic???

Ballsy coming from someone new to the forum........ You're free to say what you want and freedom of speech has consequences........ like being called a troll.

Listen, I never said it could have been prevented.

 

And because I have a low post count that makes a difference? And bring up what crap? The fact that some folks (including cops) should not have guns?

 

Oh, and your not impressed? I could care less, is that all this forum is for...to impress?

. The constitution protects you from the government, not from being a douche on a privately owned forum.

Qualifying is showing proficiency.

Shoot first...Ask question later.

I would think there are more gun owners I have seen that should not have guns, than cops. =)

 

Please lets keep it on topic and not a bashing of cops.  There are a crap load of LEO on the forum, and by far, the vast majority are really good people.

It doesn't sound like he was shooting wildly, I really feel bad for the cop. 7 out of 8. High pressure situation. He doesn't know what he is walking into. It sucks that 1 out of 8 hit the girl in a fatal spot. I am not one to cheer cops because they are cops, but he did not mess it. It seems to me he did his job well, and the job of a cop isn't all rainbows and sunshine.

 

This does bring up the point though that if one of the students was armed, they knew the situation and could have stopped that fucker with no fatalities.

 

Hitting 7 out of 8 is now spray and pray tactic???

 

Okay, that is not exactly spray & pray but the one that got away took an innocent life.

Yes, I agree. I have seen many gun owners that should NOT be allowed to own a firearm, that's why I refuse to shoot at public or even private ranges...not everyone is safe around firearms.

 

I'm not bashing LEO's, I have family members in the FBI & DEA. I highly respect what these people do to keep us safe.
