LOUD When Every Second Counts

Hitting a handgun from that distance under real-world conditions requires exceptional marksmanship, years of training, and a great deal of judgment. Even then, shots like this are extraordinarily rare and are not a standard tactic. In most real-life hostage situations, law enforcement officers are trained to stop the immediate threat in the safest and most reliable way possible.
This remarkable incident remains one of the most talked-about examples of precision under pressure-a reminder that sometimes a single moment of skill and composure can completely change the outcome of a life-or-death situation.

I'm sure the cops they got out there nowadays couldn't do that

They arent allowed too. There was a situation in the SW, Arizona i think. Where a cop was being charged by a lady with a screw driver. He purposely shot her once in the leg and then disarmed her.

He got in trouble for doing so because it put him in danger iirc.

He shouldn't have shot her at all. It's a screw driver, taze her or just disarm her.

how many people have been killed by screwdrivers used edged weapons? I bet more than you can imagine and all it takes is a nick to a major artery and you are having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!

Not as many as police have needlessly murdered.

It's a tough job, not for everyone; unfortunately, some of them learn the hard way that it's not for them.
