    I just saw this dashcam footage this morning. These police officers were very well trained to make it through that hail of fire alive and take the suspect down. I am angry that crazy people keep making a stronger case for the AWB in the eyes of the left.

    For every one crazy bastard that decides to go down in a blaze of glory there are hundreds of thousands of lawful citizens with similar arms who must face this growing stigma against gun ownership thanks to the nutjobs. Quite frankly it is whackos like this that give me cause to be armed.

    The suspect is killed on camera, but it is not gory.

    :wow: Unbelievable, I guess we just never know when someone is mentally on the brink of doing something crazy and stupid

    I'm glad the officers were not hurt anymore than they were.
    Good job to the officer that emptied his mag into the suspect.

    Right here.
    I'm glad the LEO's are going to be alright...thank God.

    The one thing that bugs me is that it took a judge to rule that the LEO's response was justifiable as a self defense situation...really?? Thanks Mr. Obvious...heh, I would never have made the connection.

    Oh my....
    Thanks for finding and sharing.
    Glad the officers were able to survive and stop that threat to society.

    All police action shootings have to be investigated and presented to the local Prosecutor for review as to whether charges should be filed against the officers for any number of reasons. Its a nerve racking process for the officers who end up second guessing themselves for days or weeks waiting for the determination.

    I will say I was impressed with the citizen (off camera) who came up from behind the officers (presumably) wanting to help. I also heard the citizen say," I got my pistol." Hopefully he didn't approach the officers with it drawn. That could have gone bad. But help from the general public is always appreciated when offered as long as it is done appropriately. Unlike the guy down the road running toward the scene (presumably) to help that crosses the road and the officers line of fire should they have needed to fire more rounds.

    Overall, it seems to me it was the best outcome a situation like that could have under those circumstances.

    Stay safe.
