1. I'm wondering why the cop even thought it was necessary to tase the guy.

[enough]

6. Yes. NT

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

9. Did you see him break away and dive into car?

Guess not

[Ocelot II]

18. So what? They had his license plate number; they knew where to find him.

He had outstanding warrants for nonviolent crimes. It wasn't like they were trying to arrest a known serial killer. They could have just let him go and busted him at home.

[USALiberal]

16. He was trying to leave! Nt

2. Exactly.

Joy has a tendency to talk out of her ass. She seems to think if she says something loud enough, and fast enough, it makes it true.

3. Safety? Hell, guns ain't safe . . .

[Hoyt]

12. No joke.

[empedocles]

4. Hmmm

EXPLAINER: How does an officer use a gun instead of a Taser?
https://omaha.com/news/national/explainer-how-does...
1 hour ago · This is the case in Brooklyn Center, where Gannon, the police chief, said officers are trained to carry a handgun on their dominant side and their stun gun on their weak side.

5. Yeah, I own a gun but I don't carry.

One of the many reason I don’t carry a gun around is because the only way it would be of any use in say, a mugging or a car jacking, is to have a round in the chamber and the safety off.

Cops have no choice but to carry their weapon in ready to go status.

[PoliticAverse]

7. There's video of the shooting so you can see what actually happened...

It goes badly very quickly.

8. I have three semi auto pistols my Springfield 40 cal. and Ruger LCP 380 they have no safety,

you just pull the trigger. I have another Ruger LC9s 9mm that has a safety. It is done in the movies looks cool I guess. The street gang guys in the movies always shoot their gun sideways don't get that either.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

10. Guess they wanna look good shooting

Always drives me nuts seeing an idiot fire sideways like that.

[doc03]

14. I saw a video a few years ago of a gang shooting at a bar in Toledo I think. There were over a

hundred rounds fired and nobody got hit. They used the sideways shooting technique I think.

[rsdsharp]

20. I was at a range several years ago when three guys went to a lane to my left.

They had a 9mm Glock and the went through a box of ammunition. All three used the sideways, one hand, grip. 50 rounds at 7 yards. No hits.

11. Pro tip

Don't trust the media to give you accurate information about firearms

[Hoyt]

13. Or gunners trying to protect their access to gunz.

[sarisataka]

15. That is quite the non sequitur,

Do you care to explain?

[Hoyt]

19. Don't trust gunners to give you accurate info about gunz. Seems clear to me.

[USALiberal]

17. 100% correct! Nt

[PrinceHakeem]

21. That is 100% false. Cops carry 1 in the chamber and glocks don't have a safety.

[WarGamer]

22. She's wrong.

99.99% of LEO weapons are carried with a round in the chamber, ready to fire.

Most LEO weapons don't even have a manual safety to de-activate before firing, they use "Passive safeties" like a sensor looking for a finger on the trigger.
