Disturbing Study

Thanks to whomever sent this in. Highlights:
  • The latest round of experiments in the Force Science Research Center's on-going "hit probability" study has produced preliminary findings with surprising and unnerving implications for LEOs. Among the new discoveries:

    --even "naive shooters," untrained and unpracticed with handguns, are amazingly accurate in making head shots at close range, and tend to shoot for the head instinctively;

    --shots intended for an officer's vested area often end up in unprotected vital parts of the body because of a suspect's poor gun control;

    --the speed with which an officer can be put behind the reactionary curve, even by assailants who have no expertise with firearms, is startling.
That's not the worst of it:
  • To Avery's surprise, many initial rounds, especially when the gun was brought from behind the back, tended to go to the right of the target (from the shooter's perspective). This contradicts conventional wisdom, he said, which holds that shots from a right-handed shooter often end up going to the left. If this apparent discrepancy is sustained in further testing, officers who are taught to move to their left in hopes of avoiding early rounds may, in fact, be stepping into a field of fire.
So a bunch of the training we've heard, received or experienced is completely contrary to the conventional wisdom. Go read the entire article. It might change the way you think of a gunfight.

Ever investigate a police street shooting? 24 Cars shot dead, 12 Houses shot dead, 2 Trees wounded and the bad guy winged. The EPA usually has to come out to de a lead clean up and the detectives make about $6.00 in selling the expended bass to the recycling joint.

Read the Dept. of Justice website.

Percentage of shots fired vs. offender hit:

Male Officers: 42%

Female Officers: 03%

Hope your partner is male.... no matter if your male or female.

Whats more disturbing is the attitude cops take when it involves their shooting expertise.Cops can't shoot! Proven fact. Chicago's Current shooting standards suck. Our departments range personel are always on the rag. You may have to spend a few dollars to buy ammo a real shocker buy ammo. So for about $30 amonth you can aleast see if your weapon works.

Chicago Police Training is a complete joke. Have you ever watched the show "ACADEMY" about the County Sheriffs Academy in California. It made me jelous to watch the real comraderie of the instructors and how they all as a unit work to mold each Officer.

Unlike CPD who makes you moldy and useless. God help us if anything ever happends in this shithole of a city.

What a horseshit department, they want me to buy my own ammo to practice and qualify. Or I can go back to my six shot revolver.

Anyone know if the army or marines force their troops to go buy their own ammo and spend their own money on decent training?

Is it any wonder there are so many knucklehead idiots who make the papers on a regular basis and cost the city millions in judgements?

What the city saves on training it pays out again ten-fold in settlements of lawsuits resulting from that lack of training.

Rules of Gunfighting,

1. Have a gun. Preferably, have at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

3. Bring ammo, the right ammo, Lots of it.

4. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

5. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

6. Proximity negates skill. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

7. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun... and a friend with a long gun.

8. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading and running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works every time. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket."

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
"If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly."

12. Have a plan. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

13. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

14. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect your own flank.

15.Don't drop your guard.

16. Always perform a tactical reload and then threat scan 360 degrees.

17. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)

18. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.

19. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

20. Be polite. Be professional. But... have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

21. Be courteous to everyone. Friendly to no one.

22. Your number one option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

23. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."

24. Nothing handheld is a reliable stopper.

25 Carry the same gun in the same place all the time.

As a firearms instructor I always taught to move to the right. But in addition I also went against conventional wisdom and taught to attack / charge your target, not retreat. Move right and forward.

This tactic is catching on across the country. Studies show the assailant is thrown into a state of shock and doesn't know how to react to an attacker. If you retreat there is no threat to the assailant and he has the advantage to attack / charge / chase whatever you want to call it.

In training programs this was tested and most officers were shot while seeking cover, few were shot charging their assailant.

Research this for yourselves.

Stay thirsty my friends!!!

Do it on your own. Harping for the dept. to increase training is futile.
Never trust that your partner, male or female, is gonna be quicker on the draw.
Or, even knows or can see that your offender is going for, or has a pistol on their person.
If you have time to shout it, they(offender) have time to shoot it.
Point being, just shoot and shoot to kill.
If you can't, then distance, cover, shielding.

Apparently illegal immigration CAN be stopped, if your elected officials have the spine required for it. A success story from Arizona:

===================================

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- Illegal immigrants in Arizona, frustrated with a flagging economy and tough new legislation cracking down on their employers, are returning to their home countries or trying their luck in other states.

For months, immigrants have taken a wait-and-see attitude toward the state's new employer-sanctions law, which takes effect January 1. The voter-approved legislation is an attempt to lessen the economic incentive for illegal immigrants in Arizona, the busiest crossing point along the U.S.-Mexico border.

And by all appearances, it's starting to work.

"People are calling me telling me about their friend, their cousin, their neighbors -- they're moving back to Mexico," said Magdalena Schwartz, an immigrant-rights activist and pastor at a Mesa church. "They don't want to live in fear, in terror."

Martin Herrera, a 40-year-old illegal immigrant and masonry worker who lives in Camp Verde, 70 miles north of Phoenix, said he is planning to return to Mexico as soon as he ties up loose ends after living here for four years.

"I don't want to live here because of the new law and the oppressive environment," he said. "I'll be better in my country."

There's no way to know how many illegal immigrants are leaving Arizona, especially now with many returning home for normal holiday visits. But economists, immigration lawyers and people who work in the immigrant community agree it's happening.

Under the employer sanctions law, businesses found to have knowingly hired illegal workers will be subject to sanctions from probation to a 10-day suspension of their business licenses. A second violation would bring permanent revocation of the license.

Nancy-Jo Merritt, an immigration lawyer who primarily represents employers, said her clients already have started to fire workers who can't prove they are in the country legally.

"Workers are being fired, of course," she said. "Nobody wants to find out later on that they've got somebody working for them who's not here legally."

When immigrants don't have jobs, they don't stick around, said Dawn McLaren, a research economist at Arizona State University who specializes in illegal immigration.

Pearce disagreed that the Arizona economy will suffer after illegal immigrants leave, saying there will be less crime, lower taxes, less congestion, smaller classroom sizes and shorter lines in emergency rooms.

"We have a free market. It'll adjust," he said. "Americans will be much better off."

He said he's not surprised illegal immigrants are leaving the state and predicts that more will go once the employer-sanctions law takes effect next month.

"It's attrition by enforcement," he said. "As you make this an unfriendly state for lawbreakers, I'm hoping they will pick up and leave."

A huge scar that in encripted upon our academy officer candidates is the time-shielding-distance garbage. The shooting event is over soo fast time is not an issue. Taking cover makes you lose sight of your target which in turn gives your assailant a chance to come around your cover and surprise you. NEVER RETREAT AROUND A CORNER ! Distance ! you want more distance?! lets say run to 25 yards and then shoot ?! Here's what the bad guy would hate--- you closing the distance hard and fast while puring lead down his throat ! Not for everyone, read: Not for the sheep, just the lions .

What exactly is your point about police work being a male dominated profession?

The statistics only show the number of shots versus the number of hits by each gender.

And women fought to enter this male dominated profession saying that they are just as proficeint as men and deserve the same pay

They also demanded preference in hiring snd promotions which they got, at the expense of males.

So assuming the the statistics are accurate whats your point?

You sound like that whiny girl who wanted to go to VMI and then pouted when she was told that she would have to submit to a military style haircut

My sincere condolences to the family of the officer and to his friends and fellow officers. Unfortunatly, this case proves the point what we have been saying all along. just because someone is running doesnt mean you cant shoot them.

The reason the bad guys get lucky is that they don't ever think, not for one moment, or care, about hitting unintended objects.

They shoot purely on instinct, that instinct being fear of what they're shooting at.

The good guys have to think about not hitting anything other than their intended target, for many reasons, both moral and legal, thus, cannot shoot with the same total abandonment of all else but fear.

When time slows down, every thought takes time and multiple thoughts add up.

Bad guys don't have multiple thoughts, just one, kill whatever they fear.

It's a handicap, having morals, giving a shit about doing the right thing and not doing the wrong thing.

In the long run, if the good guys can avoid being caught off guard, their ability to think will carry the day.

To the PO that wants to know which range to go to, this is a no brainer, Area3,days,talk to John!

He's the best, a true gentleman.

If you want training, Spartan Tactical Training group.

If you have a technical question, Ted, Area 3 afternoons.

There are several excellent range guys who aren't on the range staff anymore, but really know their shit; N P 024 , J P 009 , M K 016 , K J 020, M S 020, T P 630

I'm a retired Marine and now a Chicago Police Officer. I've been all over the world and have seen a few things in my time. IMHO Mike Keefe is one of the BEST range officers I've ever seen and that includes the ones I saw in the Corp. Why they dumped this guy is beyond me. I'd like to find out who the genuis is and tar and feather him/her. What a waste of talent and knowlege. But I guess thats typical for the CPD. Find a guy who has a talent or specialty and put him in a place where he can't use it.

USMC Rules for Gunfighting: very common sense and have valid application to l.e.o's who place primary importance on survival and being alive to be judged by 12 even though the mayor, alderwhores, the bowel rag liberal press & media and their agents along with the self congratulating so called reverends would rather howl and rejoice when an officer is carried by six... especially that rat fat hypocrite the mayor... you bastards mumble about "brave sacrifice and eternal gratitude" and wipe false tears for bright lights... get it straight, police officers lives are VIOLENTLY TAKEN... so go choke on your gratitude.

Brothers & Sisters, be careful this Holiday season, study and live by these rules for gunfighting and be particularly mindful of rules #12, #17, #20 and #21

They don't want us to shoot! They don't want us to work! So I listen the 1st and 16th, back other coppers up and help their families anything else is optional! The citizenry has been bullshitted by the liars in the press and this the police force you get simple as that!

Thank you for the nice comments. I do pride myself in the education of firearms as well as the most up to date information about their usage. Merry Christmas.

Male or female is irrelevant. The writer is simply a moron. The statistic means that 42% of the shots fired by males hit the offender, and 3% of those fired by females hit the offender. Thus, males are more accurate shooters. The sample size is irrelevant. For goodness sake, take a math class.
