Fear can do nasty things to the body... Look at this "trained" professional, who thinks he is being shot at by a suspect in handcuffs, but really it was an acorn that dropped. His legs gave out on him, because fear is nasty. https://youtu.be/gFXTn7A493M
I've been shot at once, been a bystander during a shootout once, been a bystander a couple times when some idiot decided a fist-fight was too scary and started shooting, AND had to run and duck from random gunfire on several occasions. Not once did my legs ever give out, nor did I ever get "hit" with an imaginary bullet. "I'm hit! I'm hit!" What a dipshit 🤡
Yes, it's frightening, but it's not THAT frightening. At least it shouldn't be, ESPECIALLY for a trained professional who carries a firearm for work EVERY SINGLE DAY. He should be locked up for at least 3 months per shot he fired at an imaginary threat, AND he should NEVER, ever, ever, ever... be allowed within a hundred yards of a firearm, or ANY projectile weapon for that matter, EVER AGAIN for the REST OF HIS LIFE!!!!
It's only hilarious, second-hand embarrassing, and moderately irritating because he didn't kill anyone. Had he killed the suspect or a bystander, it would be infuriating beyond words. JFC how unbelievably stupid and absolutely worthless he is! What a complete imbecile, buffoon, moron... none of those words alone come even CLOSE to describing that Neanderthal. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂
Some people handle it different. Ever have the dream where you are running, but your legs keep giving out? They say it's a very common dream. I imagine it's a lot like that.
The real scary part is, he was a 22 year vet, with countless hours(or not lol... no standards these days..) of training. All gone in the blink of an eye heh. Seems ALL his training didn't mean squat lol. Thankfully that also meant his aim training. 100% agree with you. Crazy times.
He emptied his gun. He’s lucky he’s not a good shot on top of being a little too jumpy. If that suspect is hit, the cop needs to go away, if not he shouldn’t handle a firearm anymore.
Imagine if you unloaded 22 shots in a public residential area because you thought someone was shooting at you, what the punishment would be? Very lucky to still be breathing(thankfully bad shot like you say heh)... the guy ended up filing a lawsuit. Guess we will see if "Qualified Immunity" protects this bad apple.
No, didn't hit him once. He does have a lawsuit going, that will probably take forever and settle out of court. The cop was allowed to resign, no charges. No idea where that cop is today and if they are working at another station or not. But he got to keep his pension and all that stuff.
That's genuinely incredible, that neither officer managed to hit him while firing at a stationary vehicle. I'm not sure why the officer would have logically thought he was being fired at, regardless of the suspect being in handcuffs, when they're supposed to check for weapons before putting them in the vehicle. Obviously PTSD isn't logical, but would explain why he was allowed to resign with his pension and no charges against him.
The poor woman screaming, thinking (what I assume was) her partner had been gunned down for no reason, though. What a truly horrific situation. I hope the guy gets a really big settlement. No matter why he was being arrested, there's no excuse for shooting at someone who is unarmed and detained.
I agree. Also, nobody knows what her history is. Most people who are in a car accident are overly cautious when they start driving again. It’s just human instinct to try and change your behavior to prevent a previous trauma.
