GBI releases body cam footage, other information about fatal OIS of man armed with butcher knife

Vids like this make me reassess my Combat Pistol Training.

A crazed nut with a butcher knife charges you.

You shoot him four to five times center of mass from a distance of less than 10 yards. He gets back up and charges you again.

I am not a Cop, but there were some questionable choices made here, the biggest one being why go to tazer after you have already shot him five times? You think Electricity trumps the Kinetic energy of a bullet? I mean it was already a lethal force incident, why go down a notch on the use of force scale when you and your partners life is on the line? He had a clear shot for like 30 seconds after he got up, empty the mag, reload and empty that mag if necessary!

At any rate, as an armed citizen it makes you consider the importance of “Shooting them to the Ground” every time, without fail.

Do you have a drill that practices this scenario? If not, rectify it now!

Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!

BRACKEN: THE PATROL BIKE

 

The Tactical/Practical Prepper always needs to BOLO for Dual purpose activities which give you the benefit of physical exercise/training while at the same time sharpening your patrolling skills.

Bicycling is a great cardio/endurance exercise that you can do while at the same time patrolling your immediate and surrounding AO.

I am a big fan of Matt Bracken.

I suggest you start with his essays and then read his All Enemies Foreign and Domestic series.

The Reality of Having a Gun Pulled on You

by in Current Events, Current Videos, Law Enforcement, Training, Training Tips and tagged , , ,

Two things I want to point out here:

Firstly, having a gun pulled on you is some scary shit, so no judgements on this poor woman cop begging for her life.

Secondly, Cop Fitness and Training needs to Improve on a National level.

Check out how long it takes on the response time for this cop to come to this woman’s aid and consider if the responding cop maybe had been 50 pounds lighter, how much faster it COULD have been.

Luckily, the poor woman cop was not hurt and the POS Murder Suspect who pulled a gun on her is dead.

Bottom Line, Stay in Fighting Shape folks because for the most part, the people paid to “protect” you are not!
