mike88 + 257 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) At around 3:20 one officer shoots a man ontop of another officer, then a colleague kicks the grounded officer in the face ! One person died, news article in this link; http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/04/11/walmart-parking-lot-brawl-video/25625537/ Edited April 11, 2015 by Fedster embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morek54 695 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Only in America, as they say... I do love how Police Chiefs in America tend to come out in resounding support of their Officers in situations like this, though. As seen in the video. Can you imagine any Chief Officer in the UK speaking out in a similar way?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeebs + 1,192 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Is the officer on the ground shouting "get off my gun!" and "hes going for my gun"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blandy + 112 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The officer on the ground was shot by the guy on top of him. Managed to get his gun off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prae 764 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I'm absolutely amazed they weren't all shot, serious restraint shown here by the officers involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyB + 451 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Considering the officers were literally fighting for their lives it's a wonder they didn't have to shoot more of the Gaver family than they did. It goes to show that Taser isn't the 'magic cure' it's seen to be and that OST tactics and the handbook are all very well but in some situations anything goes!

stewie_griffin + 484 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Another difference from the UK (from the news report): 'After Hicks determined the baton had no effect, he resorted to shooting Gaver to death...Hicks initially was placed on leave after the March 21 shooting, but he went back on patrol Friday night.' So finish your reports on March 21st (the day of the incident), take 2 weeks last minute all-inclusive to Mexico, a requalification shoot on Thursday 9th April and back on duty for the Friday night!
