Quote of the Day: Law Enforcement Edition

The suspect shot and killed a deputy, shot and killed a police dog, and shot and wounded another deputy before being surrounded by 10 SWAT officers. Then he raised a gun...

"I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was that's all the ammunition they had," [Polk County Sheriff Grady] Judd said. "We were not going to take any chance of him shooting back."

Burn in hell you swiss-cheesed cop killer.

2 Reading a little further in the article, I'm appalled to discover that of 110 rounds fired at the man AFTER BEING SURROUNDED, he was only hit 68 times.

Where'd these SWAT guys go to train, the Imperial Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship?

I've never fired a gun in my life, and I'm willing to bet I could do better than 50% accuracy.

3 Ian:

It's harder to hit someone who's trying not to be hit.

It's harder to hit someone in cover.

It's also a little harder to hit someone when they're willing, and able, to shoot back.

Just sayin'...

4 It's hard to hit someone who's 70% holes already.
