Officer involved shooting...

[medicboy]

Yesterday at work we were just commenting on how slow it was when the pager goes off and says "respond to ...(address) for shots fired"  We haul butt down there, check to see if the scene is secure and enter.  I don't know the whole story but what I gather is the local P.D. was serving a warrent for 3 counts of child molestation and 3 counts of child porn/ exploitation.  Family services was there as well and when they went to take the kids the guy nuts up, gets a gun, and goes after the family services worker, cop is standing by the door and shoots him with a .45 acp through the head.  Needless to say we didn't work him up, exit hole was about 1.5 inches with brain matter showing.   This is the first officer involved shooting in the city limits ever recorded.

Practice makes perfect.
Too bad for the officer tho. Even tho the guy was scum, it had to be traumatic.

Maybe he was just sleeping if off.




DO cops carry .45 that often? I always thought they preferred .40 or 9mm.

Hamilton, Mt  Population about 4,000 in the city limits.

Capt pork.  The city cops here are not alowed to cary anything below a .40 and most carry .45's.

pork... no.. he was done..  it is proven fact that zombies can be killed with a shot to the head.

many police forces carry 45's most of their elite or special units like swat carry 45's.

Less wear on the rope. No loss no foul.

As was said, feel sorry for the Officer, got to be rough on him even though he was shooting nothing more than vermin. Maybe he will reflect on the positive - he saved several people and prevented this animal from doing any more damage.

If I'm not mistaken either Montana State troopers or Idaho's carry Les Baer .45's.  I'd take a .45 over a 9mm anyday of the year.

Pretty sure you missed the point there. The felon paid.

Negative, my old neighbor shot and killed two men in the 70's.  Most people don't understand what they go through afterwards.

But <> anyways

No explanation needed, you've seemed to have taken it out of context and pointed an unjust finger.  Enjoy.

Sleep on it.  Flame someone else, know-it-all

I assumed "God's Soldiers" were the dead ones. My bad.
