Almost Exactly On Target

The official weekend tally per HeyJackass.com:

  • 11 Dead, 41 Maimed

The average over the past ten years?

  • 9 Extinguished, 42 Non-Fatally Ventilated

So all together, within a single body of the average.

Statistics are fun.

UPDATE: Among the totals were a police shooting:

  • Surveillance video shows the last moments of a street fight in Austin that ended when Chicago police opened fire as a man refused to stop stabbing another man, officials said.

    The shots hit both men, killing the attacker and wounding the person who was being stabbed, according to a statement released by Chicago police. The person was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition.

That's the trouble with shooting someone who's busy stabbing his victim - collateral damage. But the only other option is to watch him stab the victim to death, then be accused of (A) doing nothing or (B) shooting the assailant after he stopped being an assailant and was just about to surrender.

So much for a safe holiday and a plan. There is no plan. It’s just keep doing the same crap and hope for the best. The lack of leadership and the politicians failed us!

Scc, the sgt part 2 test is one week away. Being the 3rd largest police department in the United States. How has the department not gave back our scores from part 1 yet and established what is going to be passing in order to sit for part 2? Part 1 was scantron.

Better not shoot him before he stabbs the victim at least once.
Officer, my client had no intention of stabbing anyone. He was only holding his ground against an attack.
You responded to the situation by shooting both individuals.
Be very careful... act as if you have no friends.

Option 3 : Set up a perimeter , give the offender a minimum of 3 verbal warnings and opportunities to drop the knife, try to de-escalate the situation by finding common ground, and if all else fails…simply shoot the knife out of the offender’s hand

It’s all so simple!

Oh the collateral damage reason - just like when the PO shot the bat wielding psycho youth with a through and through shot that killed the nosey neighbor in the doorway, that doesn’t work very well nowadays. These coppers are in for a world of aggravation. When your right, your wrong.

Channel 9 on Wednesday morning reported that 11th District Officers had residents out for ice cream on Tuesday. That’s a novel approach to police work in this day and age. I suppose it’s got as much chance of working as what they’ve got us doing under the Consent Decree. Wonder if we’ll have to document each person who had a scoop and what flavor they had? Have to make sure it’s equal oppurtunity service.

When someone is shot and survives, it should be classified as a " failed murder" because that is exactly what it is. Only by God's grace did that shooting victim not die.

There's always one of you. How many people have you shot while they were actively stabbing someone? The range doesn't have armed moving targets actively stabbing a victim, who would also be moving in response to being stabbed. No matter how much practice you get, you can't predict where two people actively engaged in a knife fight will be when your shot arrives. The only real way to make sure both people don't get hit is to not take the shot. This wasn't a sniper waiting for the perfect moment to shoot. This was someone shooting quickly to stop a guy who was actively stabbing another person. Waiting for the perfect shot means waiting for him to finish killing his victim. If I'm being stabbed, I'd rather be accidentally shot by someone stopping the stabbing than stabbed to death. Ideally, only the bad guy gets shot, but that's not how it always works out, regardless of range time. I know you'll disagree, but I also know you'll never be able to prove your idiotic belief that more range time would've resulted in a different outcome. You'll also never convince me you did a better job in the same situation, because you haven't been in this situation.

SOB! Easy-Peasy! But I do not remember that subject matter being taught at the academy. I do remember being in the parking lot and practicing the Starsky and Hutch butt-slide across the hood of a car in order to catch bad guys. That was cool!

And, I must admit, I do remember midnight b-ball.

Easy Tackleberry… have you ever been involved in a shooting??? You know where shit materializes within less than a second and you need to make a decision , do I shoot or do I not shoot. It’s real easy to Monday morning quarterback someone when that someone is not you. STFU , unless you’ve been in this type of situation.
