Big deal, many of us here can do this every day. But then again, as often as many LEOs actually practice, maybe this is a big deal. For him.

You under stress when you shoot? Your adrenaline running through you? Most shootouts you miss more than you land, proven fact

 

[GOPerfect]

Very good shot.

 

[FrankenCub]

Many ways to get an adrenalin rush. And most LEOs never shoot unless it's to qualify, proven fact.
Did you see how much time the officer had to place the shot? Lots. 75' isn't far and he had his vehicle as a rest.
Wasn't saying it wasn't a good shot, just saying I wasn't much impressed with the specifics. There's plenty of videos showing some truly outstanding shootings by LEOs.

 

[Edwardteach72]

So 25 yards?

I'm with @FrankenCub on this one. Yes it was a clean shoot obviously, yes it was a good shot, impressive not so much until you take into account like Franken mentioned most LEO aren't necessarily gun people and you better believe the only time many of them even shoot a handgun is to qualify what once a year?

@Dayten I also want to point out I'm not cop bashing, I don't play that way. For most of them this is just a 9-5 job, officer involved shootings aren't as prevalent as our media makes it to be. I personally know Sheriff deputies and troopers down here, and they aren't gun guys. Then you have the local PDs, mostly youngins who still have momma's afterbirth on them. They don't train, they don't practice, It is what it is.
There's also much more to an adrenalin dump. If you study the effects of adrenalin in science class or medical videos you'll see that it does more than make you run fast or gain some strength. Many many times it also makes you much more aware of the immediate danger and controlled motor functions. It's all science. There's been documentaries on it.
Many guys shooting IDPA type events get the same dump. Others, it takes jumping from a perfectly good airplane to get the same effect.

Hell that just goes back to not training (to a certain degree) also look an New York city police, not only is that department so large the amount of range time each officer gets is a joke then add to that their glocks all have New York triggers (a decision the department made to take a 5.5-6.5lb glock trigger and jump it up to 8lbs with NY-1 or 11lbs with a NY-2) why? Because heavier trigger makes them think less ND and that's a cheaper solution than training

***edit***
Looks like NYSP use a NY-1 trigger and the city uses the NY-2 (11lbs) and a NYPlus trigger (12lbs) that alone will lead to less accurate shots

 

[misunderestimated]

GREAT SHOT!

This
I always think its odd when people say adrenalin is a bad thing and makes you more prone to screw up.
In fact, if trained like this guy should be, adrenalin HELPS you in stressful situations.
Adrenalin actually saves lives in combat situations.

 

[Marine Cpl]

I'm with Dayten on this. Adrenaline does make you better in stressful situations but it also affects your fine motor skills. That's a proven fact. You will always be able to shoot steadier when calm than when dumped with adrenaline.

It’s obvious you’re not cop bashing.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Some people actually believe if you are not cock riding every action every police officer every does 24/7 then you are cop bashing

 

[GOPerfect]

As for the cop bashing thing...

Stating facts is not bashing.

Less than half that I work with are true gun guys. Most practice about two weeks prior to qualifications. That's it.

 

[GOPerfect]

BTW,. My last statement is about the same for those in the military.

 

[meketrefe]

If one doesn't have fear or doesn't get pumped on a fight then there is something psychologically very wrong with that person.
Of course someone who has experience in firefights and battle (deployed ex military for example) then that might give you
more experience how to deal with natural responses through the conditioning but nobody sane is going to be calm.
Some cops and deputies do not fire their firearms much. I have seen used police guns on sale on a gun shop where the receivers
are all worn from carrying the gun but the firing mechanism barely broken in. Some units shoot a lot because of their nature
of their jobs like swat and others do because they like the sports like a couple of guys we have at the local IDPA matches
that happen to be active cops and we have a few retired too but just like any other professions.
He got lucky with that shot, even if he is used to land them at that distance that is not normal instant neutralization from one
single shot is very unusual.
But there are so many things we don't really know based on body camera and other footage anyway.

I also think it was a great shot. I do have a question regarding the cop's behavior and proper procedure. It's not a smart ass question, I really want to know. When the partner yells "gun" they both immediately start to run away. Doesn't that put them at risk versus standing your ground and waiting to see the perp? Why risk getting shot in the back. I understand he ran toward his vehicle to get cover. But didn't he put himself at risk by doing that? Just curious.

My guess is that other things were going on that we do not see on camera. The women running in the road for example. They may not have known the exact location of the shooter?

 

[Marine Cpl]

I'll go out on a limb here and say that most people here can't make that shot while calm with their old eyes and shaking grey haired arms. I'm pretty damned good at 10. At 25 I'm okay. (On paper with some grouping) At 50, there are no groups to speak of at all. I'm not sure I could make a 75 yard shot with a handgun.

Sure I could talk smack and say yes but I'm pretty sure I'd miss and especially while hopped up on adrenaline.

That cop can shoot.

yes and no. He yelled long gun so they know they are in a total disadvantage if bullets start flying. In that case I think it is good to seek cover while one keeps shooting (very important skill) but perhaps by estimating the time the guy was going to get outside the double doors they could put some important distance
between them and the armed prep. If he was going to shoot through the walls they would have done it already. So it is hard to say perhaps not totally bad but perhaps it makes them rethink retreat while facing the threat at all times. One also had that lady running around that he had to take to safe cover so
that doesn't help neither. It seems they might not get a lot of those type of situations in that area and that is why also the surprise factor.
If there is even a doubt of major confrontation they do not take chances and send the swat teams like the do to search buildings and serve warrants in dangerous drug infested areas. Those do not knock at the door and come in like a storm.

Did anyone watch the entire video?

Pretty damn good shot. I’d have a hard time making that shot with a rifle.

How is it fake news, he brought the guy down in one shot. From 75ft away.

“Mosiiuk was his mid-back and was transported to the hospital where he died of HIS gunshot wound”

The video does show in multiple places officers claiming they did not fire and it was a self inflicted GSW. It is not fake news though. There were videos from two vest cams, and significant confusion. The 911 call was by a woman calling about her brother having a break down. When officers arrived she blurted the rifle her brother brandished was missing a part and could not shoot. Her brother was shortly then shot in the back when he brandished the nearly intact rifle. It is not fake news but it is old news.

Self inflicted means the bad guy shot himself.

 

[misunderestimated]

So there is something called conditioning. the average person shows up at an accident scene,
a few things are going on,
first is this real,
who is going to save this person,
Why is no body helping.
Where are the cops.

Were as a person who has done this already has conditioning. there thoughts are
this IS real
I am going to take action and save this person
As they are administering aid , they say Some one call 911
Somebody check for the injured parties,
Some one watch no cars run over us
ECT ECT

So yes he shot great, most others with out conditioning and training would crumble.

A whole back I shared a story of a coworker who almost melted because I had to escort some one out of our building.

We all know about the 3 F'S

Your going to Fight
Your going to Freeze
Your going to flee

the conditioning and training you have is what decided what one of the 3 F's your going to do.

I just wanted to make my stance perfectly clear, we see way too much cop bashing here. It's uncalled for

I don't think you give yourself enough faith in your shooting. If you practice as much as I think you do, putting hits on a silhouette target at 75yds shouldn't be an issue.
I'm 47 and hit 7 out of 10 in the kill zone last time the guys and I were out shooting on their 80yd range. Granted, 90% of my shooting has been handgun for 26 years. Used to put at least 500 rounds down range a week and cut the x-ring out of the bullseye targets at 10yds. Really good groups at 25. Dropping deer at 100+ with my Encore using a tree or knee or whatever as a rest. I'm 110% sure you could consistently hit 75yds if you put yourself to it. Maybe I am wrong and most here only shoot long guns, but I thought most were handgunners as well. This cop's shot was 75 feet, not yards. I haven' got into rifles much until the last few years and still need much practice with them. If I ever went through any rifle training scenarios with you guys you'd likely die laughing your asses off And people wonder why my go to gun is my P99 before my AR.

 

[FrankenCub]

Self inflicted means the bad guy shot himself.

I'm pretty sure the one cop said "he had the drop on me" after he ran, he's the one who said it was self inflicted. The other cop said he shot the perp.

It wasn' 75 yards it was 75 feet
