Also, is it just me, or does his Glock appear to be out of battery after the shooting? And yes, the officer is right- you are...excuse me- were a dumbass, and you got what you deserved. | ||

Not just you. I had the exact same thought when I saw the video earlier today. He even seems to recognize it, when he finally goes to holster it. He appears to hesitate and gives it a hard look. | |||

SO many questions about this video; but initial reaction is that the officer is about as cool under pressure as they’d write lines for Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Ultimately a white dude got shot. Nobody in NYC politics or the DOJ will care. But, "Go away" while a gun is in your ear. Really?

Great example of the "fog of war" afterward. He is initially very amped up, almost on autopilot. You can see it from the pacing, the looking at the gun almost in disbelief, the radio traffic. But he did a damn good job holding it together. Glad the officer is OK and the bad guy is not gonna be bad anymore...

My thought was he is a dope. “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” ― Ronald Reagan Retired old fart | |||

Local news reported the guy was reaching into the console and that's when the officer shot. One other thing I noticed is it takes forever for the cops to get there even if you're a cop calling the cops. | |||

That had to be a G20 because it blasted that Toyota half way down the block. The recoil knocked that Trooper on his butt..  | |||

Agree that the weapon is out of battery, likely from interference with the slide action. I’d have to watch a few more times and slow it down, but the slide was probably pressed against the seat back of the car or something similar. In our basic academy training we teach “contact shots” they involve the officer physically preventing the slide from operating and then following that with a clearance step, tap/rack, re-assess. In our agency that came about after an officer tried 3 times to dispatch a guy actively choking out (or something similar) another officer. The responding officer kept pressing the end of his gun to the bad guy, but was doing it hard enough to take it out of battery, resulting in no fire. That being said, it’s very narrowly applicable and wouldn’t really apply given how this incident appears to have gone down. Prayers with the officer. | |||

On the bright side, he’ll never be told, “to get out of the car”again. | |||
