Can you state your past expertise that lets you make this assumption? Does a psychologist "train" at your large facility and lend you his knowledge so you can go out on the Internet and give advice?

I never said anything about not training. I was commenting on an armchair quarterback that thinks he has a clue. He dropped the mag while reloading, instead of bending over trying to find it he grabs another mag so he isnt sitting there with an empty weapon. Just like hes trained to. Could his reload have been better? Sure couldve, but let me see you do it in a gunfight. Freaking couch commandos think you have any idea because you do your little run and gun bullshit in a controlled area.
Let me give you a bit of a clue. His heart rate has already started to climb during the pursuit. Its normal. He thinks he most likely has a bailout coming as hes getting out of the car, all the sudden the shitbag starts shooting, your already elevated heart rate goes through the roof and adrenaline starts dumping into your body like youve never experienced before. When that happens fine motor skills go out the window. Doing something as simple as grabbing a fresh magazine all the sudden becomes a little more complicated. Anybody that thinks the little pathetic training runs you do at your shooting range are going to prepare you for this is freaking moron. Im not a patrol cop. We have to be ready to deal with active shooter scenarios everyday and even the training we do doesnt fully prepare you for the real thing. Like i said until youve actually been there, shut the hell up youve already shown who the fool is.

So you are trying to tell me that he should not have been prepared for someone he was in a chase with not to start shooting at him? Let's see. How about you open the door of your squad car to give you cover with your firearm drawn just in case the bad guy has bad intentions. Or do you think it is a better idea to get out of the protection of your squad car and walk up to someone in a car you just chased and hope they don't hop out and shoot at you. Gee, I am sorry. I thought common sense was taught in the police academy. Oh, and since the cop in the video was a fat ass and it is very apparent he was not concerned with physical training so he does not die of a heart attack I doubt that range training was high on his list either.

No, agencies with small limited training budgets use air soft as well as those that want to train more often. So genius why don't you tell everyone the big difference in training with paintball than sims? Not a whole lot other than recoil and the feeling when you get hit. They can do the same basic functions with paintball as sims. And while your at it how many cops have had lead coming at them EVER? An extreme very few so I guess they don't know shit either. And while you and those of you are actually out there may think our opinions don't count for squat those of US that pay your salary think your opinion counts for squat and would like you and those of you who are actually out there to be able to handle yourselves in actual situations that may turn into a shooting scenario. That is why WE are paying you after all. And if you don't think any cop or military person that may come into a shooting scenario can't benefit from ongoing training you are a fool and I really hope you do not work in my community.

Because you seem to be an idiot and I am against idiots having firearms. No past expertise just my opinion. Next question.

I wanted to answer this question seperately because it shows your lack of knowledge on the subject. You were commenting on the officers lack of training, but think playing with paintballs will help with his muscle memory. First the big difference is that you dont carry paint ball guns in the field. Well actually we do but thats a different BALL game. We use sim rounds because they can be fired out of the same style weapon using the same magazines and gear we carry in the field. That is the only thing that would have made even the slightest bit of difference in that scenario, other than pushingthe donuts away on occasion. Actually im not going to argue with you anymore. You go on thinking your Rambo and telling all your buddies at the marina how f@wking tactically awsome you are and ill go on taking care of the shitbags so you can run around in your 5.11 tactical pants and shoot paper plates.

Do you fools think a picture of Martin bothers me??? Not in the least. Although fat ass George did not go to jail he is getting punished none the less. No job, no chance of a job, no money, no home, and no life and little chance of any coming in the near future. Works for me just the same. Maybe better. You don't have to be in jail to be in your own prison.
