Here is the video:
24 seconds from first shots fired to dropping the asshole. Good guys with guns doing what needed to be done once again.
Well done, Officers, very well done.
PS: Do follow Donut Operator. Former cop and does a great job deconstructing and explaining police videos, specially if they are controversial. And he likes to blame who actually deserves it
That fast means the cops were right there literally a few yards away.
From what the Dayton Police Chief has said, that’s a normal thing, especially on the weekends for that neighborhood.
For the police to have such a heavily manned presence as a normal course of business should tell people something about that area.
Yes, very well done by those cops. And yes they saved a multiplicity of lives, but everyone was damned lucky.
Try this on for size.
From a dead stop, have someone give you the command – unwarned – to run out your front door to ‘engage’ an imaginary foe and have them time you.
Hundreds? Really?
Great job, yes, and many lives saved… But not “hundreds”
[…] Dayton, the shooter was stopped by a good guy with a gun in 24 seconds. He also wore eye and ear […]
Officers running TOWARD gunfire, God bless ’em. They were there at the scene, and yes, saved many lives.
But for most of us, they’re not right there; they’re not supermen, and cannot be all places at all times. So – Cary your guns, folks! You never know when you might need it.
Compare and contrast with Sheriff Israel and Scot Peterson. They skillfully formed a perimeter and allowed Cruz to not only kill teenagers until he was satiated; but casually stroll out in the confusion and stop at a fast food joint.
Ditto Orlando cops at the Pulse Nightclub. The Orlando cops managed the deaths of most of the 49 people as they commanded and controlled doing nothing for three hours.
Thank you Dayton Police Officers.
Dayton PD shows how MEN (even estrogen enhanced: adult women can qualify) react to emergencies. See your duty. Do your duty. Run toward the sound of the guns.
I heard an officer describe how you (an officer) OUGHT TO respond to an active shooter:
Identify the sound of guns. Go where the bad man is making that noise. Make him stop. Period.
