Things go from bad to worse in a blink of an eye...

Good shoot? (Not safe for those with weak stomachs)

Changing story, smell of MJ, background of weapons charges, attempted to flee (and failed), exited while drawing/firing on officers - Yeah, good shoot IMO.

Wow, I hope the officers were ok.

Good thing we have such strict gun laws...nothing like that can happen here in sunny baltimore.

JWGuns · Oct 31, 2013

That made me cringe, hope the officers made it through ok.

Knuckle Dragger · Oct 31, 2013

A guys comes out of the car shooting at you? Yeah, that's probably a justified shooting.

Maybe it's just me, but I think ramming my cruiser into the guy would have been safer for the officer than trying to engage him in a gun fight.

Well he went right to sleep it looks like. I hope the officers made it out OK. I would have been MASHING the gas pedal on the floor trying to keep him in the car. I hope the glass slowed the bullets from the shooter down...

I know traffic stops are the source of most problems for police. When I'm pulled over I always roll the windows down, turn the car off and put the keys on the dash and relax.

Obviously this guy had other intentions. Anyone know if the shooter was killed?

We have the benefit of knowing it was going to be a shots-fired scenario. Doubt the officers truly realized that till the rounds started hitting the cruisers.

The only video I recall of watching an officer ram his cruiser into the suspects door/person, was a fvcked up individual in Montana I believe, that was firing at the officer while attempting to flee - guy wrecked, had the door open firing on the officer, officer just sent the front end right into the door opening, knocking the suspect for a loop and knocking the gun out of his hands.

I believe he was.

What's the fastest way to get away from the police? Not a J-turn. Though I guess in the end, he didn't have to go to jail...

A little while back I saw a DC cop (unintentionally) hit a guy that jumped out of his car after striking a parked car. The guy jumps up and ran like nothing happened. Luckily no shots fired since I was on my bicycle right there as it happened.
Not gonna lie when the cop hit him I belly laughed.

Kudos to the officer who showed complete restraint and respect until it was all to clear he needed to use deadly force. One less bad guy. :thumbsup:

It says in the caption that he indeed was.

PJDiesel · Oct 31, 2013

Good shoot? Are we really asking this?

EXCELLENT SHOOT.

I skip words when there are moving pictures. Lol.

Edit: I don't see a caption. On my phone it just opens the video, no title, no comments.

Not Monday morning quarterbacking at all but wondering why at the beginning why the officer didn't ram the car when they first started to flee? Asking from a protocol angle, not questioning. As soon as I saw the gun I'd slam it in D and mash the gas (correct in that I have the benefit of know what was coming next).

That officer would have had to justify to his supervisor why he did $xxx.xx of damage to his car.

+1 on the 3pt turn not being the best getaway strategy.

Are you kidding, 100% Good Shoot. Anyone who says otherwise has some problems against every that is good and holy and should delete there account here.

SoMD_Gen4 · Oct 31, 2013

I don't disagree with all the "step on the gas comments" but that's a lot to think about in short time! Actually looks as if the second officer is the one who puts him to sleep! And yes....no question....GREAT SHOOT, what else are they going to do?

Nice shot

I had the exact same thought...

Policy? Can't ram that's lethal force... fleeing does not justify lethal force.

As for when they finally stopped... my guess car was secured... in park as soon as the officers stopped.. they were likely hitting the door to exit and apreaend.

Danm good shoot... bet someone can thank his good training ....
