Cops shoot at suspect 87 times and he’s still alive

[Saltwater60]

I have to admit the position of the cops and the muzzle control was well done. The guy by the suspects car is a bit hard to see what he’s doing at all time but the two officers you can see clearly do a good job. Now I’d love to know where the suspect is. It seems like from the article he’s in the car but the guy between the two cars is positioned pretty bad if that’s the case. Part of me thinks he might be in the woods??

There are lots of cops who can't shoot.

When you lug that much ammo around, any excuse to lighten things up is good to go.

Tinted windows and plate violations.

In Vietnam, it took 50,000 bullets to kill one VC, according to stats on enemy killed and ammo expended.

This is real life, not IDPA or a sniper shot.
Red mist, adrenalin, covering fire....one shot one kill, is rare.

Yes, those that have never had to do this..... Armchair QB's at best.

To back up your point I’ll bet many of those rounds were fired from machine guns into bushes not even seeing an enemy.

99.9% were suppressing fire that wasn't even intended to hit a particular target.

But, suppressing fire works for cops too, they just need to be a *lot* more careful with it because collateral damage is a lot less acceptable for policing than it is in a warzone.
