Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm surprised they didn't shoot the whole block to pieces. They're kinda noted for doing things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I am awaiting the movie. Perhaps we will get one of the gun hating actors to play the police officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yah know, I'm no fan of LAPD, but if I was a cop and saw that "statue" with the M4 and suppressor, I'd've put two in the body and one in the head. That is, if I didn't have the selector switch set on FUN. Props to the cops and their professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal barnes sass #5792 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I killed a suspect many years ago inside a clothing store. Front window was broken out. We surrounded the building and three of us made entry. I rounded a corner and encountered a man pointing a rifle at me. Didn't have time to say anything just stepped right and fired two rounds into his chest. The manikin, dressed in a safari outfit and holding a pretty realistic looking toy rifle, exploded. It took about 5 years for the nickname "Deadeye" to wear off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 We had a young officer answer an alarm call at a furniture store. Upon checking the building, the officers found a door had been forced open. The two officers went inside to search the building for the suspect. One of them carried a 12 gauge shotgun. When he rounded the corner, he saw the suspect raise a gun towards him. He shot the suspect. Only problem was, it was a large mirror on the wall. 25 years later, he retired and everybody still called him Boomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Several years ago one of our officers entered a Radio Shack due to an alarm shortly after the store closed. A dove had gotten into the store and set off the alarm via a motion sensor. The bird startled him & he snap shot the bird on the fly. I don't know if he actually hit the bird or if the bird died from the concussion of that 45 cal Glock going off inside the small store. He was forever there after known as "Bam Bam" until the day he retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
