Officer shoots suspect 41 times in Garland

[TXARGUY]

At first I thought the officer must have recieved his training in NYC but then I read that he had hit the suspect at least once and missed innocent bystanders completely so that blows that theory.

I know. WTF is wrong with me?

When I say odd, I guess I mean, 41 is a hard number to account for mathematically.

Not really. If it's a P226 in 9mm like someone said, that's just shooting to slide lock twice with the right magazines. I mean, Sig ships some pistols with these magazines: SIG SAUER P.226 - Sig Sauer - Magazines - Mec-Gar - World's Finest Firearm Magazines My P229 came with two, I picked another up at the gun show. Figure 20+1 and another full mag. 41 rounds right there. They're extended, but not enough to be overly bulky or protrude a ridiculous amount from the pistol. Most 10 round 1911 magazines stick out farther than these do.

Ah, hell. Picture's worth a thousand words, right? This is me shooting a P226 with a 20 round magazine. Definitely a magazine that's useable for duty, not enough protrusion to really matter and cause excessive snags, but reliable and, well, 20 frickin' rounds.

Admittedly no, I was basing that off several stories I have read and news reports that have retracted the earlier statements that the guy rammed the officer.

Phone may have recorded scene of police shooting | Dallas | News from Fort Worth, Dallas...

That is fair. What is even more fair is if you would so state rather than making a qualative statement.

It appears the pain meds have finally worn off.

 

[Vaquero]

He is a tad slow though. Let's say the meds are responsible.

You, as usual, are absolutely correct.

 

[winchster]

No its not

Pickin nits are ya, bored? I'm fairly certain I've read it was a glock pistol. I always figured just about anyone in that type situation, with the adrenaline dump, would pull the trigger until the magazine was empty. That's where I'm having a hard time finding a way to 41. It was just a statement regarding the math, not a reference to excessive shots or anything.

Still moving, still a threat. If you've gotta reload to get him to stop his BS, reload and keep on shooting.

You misunderstood, I know "still moving still a threat, reload and repeat." I was saying most people would tend to empty EVERY magazine that they loaded. Therefore making 41 an odd number.

Bet he's glad he wasn't carrying a 1911

 

[kyletxria1911a1]

You are just overthinking

Your belief about most people is wrong.

I don't think that's possible in this case!

And I love how the fact that he "hit the suspect at least once and missed innocent bystanders completely" is considered bad. I for one applaud the fact that he hit the suspect but "missed innocent bystanders completely" as that is an indication of he was doing his job right!

Gotta run, they're showing the new Korean Macarena ("Gangnam style") on the Today show...WTF?

Cheers! M2

And I love the fact that you cannot see humor unless a LOL emoticon is used. You obviously missed the recent NYC threads.

You obviously missed the recent threads on the Marines being "unarmed" in Egypt and other tin hat topics. There's been a lot of crap posted on here lately, so it's tough discerning between humor and pure ridiculousness!
