All I need to see (St. Louis Shooting)

Pot, meet kettle.

I have no experience with firearms whatsoever. However, I do have common sense. And common sense says that a criminal that's stupid enough to pull a gun on a cop isn't going to be shooting while running and isn't concerned about some kind of particular shooting stance to begin with since the object of the stupid decision to pull and point the gun in the first place is to kill the cop as quickly and accurately as possible which is far more likely to happen without bothering to waste time moving into a perfect shooting stance (if said criminal has any clue what that is to begin with which isn't likely) and isn't going to be shooting on the run because even a nincompoop knows that they're likely to be more accurate the closer and more still they are when firing.

We already know the guy was a nitwit because:

A) he'd already been caught in a multitude of crimes even over a very brief criminal career (good criminals don't get caught),

B) he was stupid enough to pull a gun on a cop in the first place which is basically a death wish,

C) was so stupid to imagine that he'd likely get the drop on a cop to begin with in the circumstances, and

D) had he wanted to accurately and quickly shoot and kill a cop and get away with it he'd have taken cover FIRST, had a planned escape route, and shot at the officer when said officer had no clue he was there with a gun intent on shooting him.

He's dead because he was a violent criminal and a barking idiot.

And instead of asking how it is that an 18 year old kid becomes a violent criminal with a gun in the first place - and NO ONE likes a violent criminal - the cop hate brigade is turning themselves inside out trying to deny the obvious and make this violent criminal some kind of martyr because they just can't stand it that a cop had to face the danger of being killed by a violent criminal and thankfully got the drop on them... that just throws a wrench in the nutty agenda that there are no violent criminals other than cops, and every one of them is a psychopath that just can't wait to go to work every day so they can blow some totally innocent person's head off. The cop hate brigade here has also systematically ignored the hundred of protesters that showed some of which turned it into a riot by blowing off explosives right next to gas tanks, threw rocks and bricks at police officers that sent at least two of them to the hospital, set the QT across the street on fire and otherwise attacked officers just as they've ignored every other instance of violence during protests since such incidents first started in Ferguson. Even at that time there were EXCUSES here for that behavior with people saying so what it's just stuff as if it's such a simple thing that completely innocent people had their businesses destroyed, people lost their jobs, had their cars destroyed, etc. by violent shits getting off on making mayhem.

And to top if off if the dead violent criminal was a white kid there would be little to nothing mentioned here and absolute silence if the dead violent criminal was white and the officer black or other minority. We even had someone here complain that when it's a white dude with a gun the police just talk them down using a video of a white guy that DID NOT draw or point a gun at anyone much less at an officer. Never mind the statistics that show that there have been far more white people killed by police than black in the first place, and never mind that the Berkeley police is over 50% black including command positions.

Nobody want to talk about the very real stupidity and danger of no-knock raids and the TRULY innocent people effected by them yet fall all over themselves to try to ignore the obvious in a circumstance where a violent criminal pointed a gun at a cop and got himself killed just as they did with another violent criminal that shot at a police officer and DU was in an uproar of stupidity claiming he was only carrying a sandwich and never mind the gun that was recovered or the ballistic testing that showed he fired at the officer and once again completely ignored the instant protest that arrived where once again violent mayhem ensued. Even the cop hate brigade forgot all about that one seeing as how stupid it was to try to continue the complaints even when the local protesters bought a clue. While all along no one has given shit one about all the innocent people that lost their jobs, their property or their business because of this violence because there's violent criminals to make into martyrs. They even complain when other items of news showing up here like the very recent shootings at a convenience store in St. Louis where one person was killed and three others gravely injured that didn't involve police at all since then they'd have to once again face the fact that there are violent criminals about. And no surprise there wasn't a soul showing up protesting violent criminals.
