What's Wrong With That Picture

[HikeHunt61]

Got up this morning and was opened the local news website. Headline story and picture made me crack up:

 

[SS!]

Cops shouldn’t be armed, totally agree with you!

 

[Sallaberry]

As lavare ball once said stay in your lane.

Bingo. It hit me so fast when I saw the picture. Now I can see the local FOX reporter not getting it- but was disappointed the police would let that by....

 

[Wiszard]

Might as well have Biden write the article at this point....ass clowns.

 

[BOHNTR]

Actually, there’s nothing wrong with the picture.....two officers training lateral engagements to lethal threats on a firing line. It’s a tactic that was used often with tactical teams early on that many agencies began implementing for their line level personnel. Split and engage tactics can save officer lives, as it teaches them to be able to pivot at the waste and neutralize threats that are not always directly in front of them.

This is what’s wrong today......folks making assumptions before they know all the information.

Your adversary is not always directly in front of you. Cops do practice shooting at angles to the side also and your target presents a smaller frontal area to hit.

They shoot at all angles, I just would of used of straight on pic.

 

[HikeHunt61]

I considered that it might actually be a legit training approach. Fair enough. It still seemed ironic to show someone shooting across lanes with the "Safety" title in the headline. Ah well, just interesting. I certainly have the most respect for the officers who protect us. Thanks for sharing the tactic...

 

[Wiszard]

Regardless of the purpose of the pic, EVERYONE should be cognizant of HOW something put out there LOOKS at first glance. This was not the correct picture to put out there with the term "safety" in the title. Marketing 101....and I was not a marketing major.
It goes along with posting pictures of hunters sitting on their quarry and not expecting to get any backlash about it. Just my 2 cents....

 

[Easy_green]

Not the best picture to put on the news lol.

 

[RELH]

Be glad it was not a picture of an officer laying on his side and shooting underneath a car. We do that also. If your adversary is 25 yards or more, you have a clear shot of his groin area and he can not see you if he is standing up.

[Wiszard]

I give law enforcement all the credit in the world these days.....

 

[Homer]

you aim for the balls RELH???...lol...cool

 

[Sallaberry]

That’s a true crime prevention kinda like castration.

 

[eelgrass]

you aim for the balls RELH???...lol...cool

He's a Hatfield. Never go up against a Hatfield expecting a fair fight.

 

[hawkbill]

Maybe we should get RELH to run the academy for the new modern policeman. Teach them to shoot for the balls every time, that would stop crime.

 

[RELH]

Hawkbill, it is my wife that is a big advocate of shooting their balls off. Now you know why I do not p!ss her off.

Budget minded re-assignment surgery... good idea!

Budget minded re-assignment surgery... good idea!

That would help out Katlin and save her some money on the sex change operation. A one Shot stop

 

[Ultimag]

I see,nothing wrong

 

[mevertsen]

Not sure what the problem is?

 

[BabyYoda]

Just tracking the target?

 

[Longun]

just like huntin' you don't always have straight on shots...
