4. The older guy off camera is an idiot. Who cares that you have a pistol. The pistol is to protect you, not try to play "I'll cover you officer while you call backup". That was a REALLY stupid thing for him to do to get involved. Hopped up on adrenaline, the officer could have seen him as a second, unintended threat.
Strongly Disagree.
An armed civilian running off like chicken little would be an IDIOT imo.
With no back up in site this could have ended MUCH worse.
Yeah - if you believe there is a need for you to defend somebody else's life, you don't have time to stand there and say, "Do you need me to open fire?"The two cops provided each other with backup, the armed civilian didn't engage the guy. If you are going to be "backup", don't just stand there and say "I have a gun." Use it.
Is there any chance the holes in the windsheild came from inside the car. I know thats not how they trained but when the shtf things happen? He looked spray and pray and thats a pretty good group.
Wow!!!
That was crazy.
The officers are lucky to be alive. Does any know were Savage was hit? The article says he was injured by gunfire as well, but it could have been glass fragments or something else too maybe.
29 rounds from Savage is pretty good in light of taking incoming from an AK at 15 yards. Was that probably his service pistol with a reload or do you suppose he had an AR handy?
Glad the officers made it through.
I looked like the initial barrage of AK fire was low and hit the front of the car. The engine probably won't start again, but probably saved those officers lives.

I am pretty sure if someone jumped out of the passenger side of that car with similar intent the older dude with the gun would have engaged.
