now granted it wasn't a high powered rifle or anything, but the guy managed to hit 4 police officers with a revolver which at most has an 8 shot capacity but more than likely had a 6 shot capacity, or even 5, now thats anywhere from 4/5-4/8 shots at a minimum that hit these officers when he was taken by surprise, I'm not sure how many cops could pull that off caught by surprise and under extreme stress. As a side note, those of you who are thinking you'll shoot it out with the ATF or swat when they come to take your guns, note that even though he hit 4 officers, only one was really critically injured, the body armor gave the cops a distinct advantage. I thought this article gave some great insight on both this guys ability to react to a disadvantageous situation and the effectiveness of the heavy body armor used by tac squads.

A followup drill to the classic Mozambique uses a double tap into CoM and another aimed at the belt, where there is no concealable vest protection. Though still relatively rare, bad guys DO use body armor occasionally. Especially paramilitary outfits like Los Zetas

"It's not the same world it used to be, people killing each other all the time," said neighbor Robin Kumar. "Police are here to protect us; why would you do such a thing?"


BAHAHAH!!!!! what a sheeple thing to say... how can he be in trouble for hearing his door get broken down randomly at 2:30 am, and coming around a corner imedeatly shooting??? he couldnt tell if they were cops, or crooks...

I aggree. But here's something else to consider; Yelling "police" doesn't prove you're the police, so even if they smash your door down in the middle of the night and yell "police", they should expect a bullet. That is why a civilised extraction, during daylight, preferrably outdoors, where both parties can be seen by the other, and where there is less likelyhood of confusion is best.

First I'm glad none of the law enforcement lost their lives in the line of duty . Trying to get rid of a scumbag . But I have to agree with previous posts , People are on edge around the country because of Violent Home Invasions happening all over the country.There have been cases where Law Enforcement have broke down the wrong door and innocent People have been killed while conducting a Military style assault on a Home.Law Enforcement needs to be 100 percent sure before they assault a house. Atleast wait for the suspect to leave the premises and take them into custody. Then raid the house .

I see you've been following the horrible mis-use of SWAT teams and rise of wrong-door raids:

It still gets me why cops don't just arrest someone outside their home, instead creating a violent, armed confrontation where one didn't need to exist.

They knocked the door down before any other identifying factors...?? I'm glad they're safe, but as far as I'm concerned... they got what they had coming to them. Police or not... I don't care you who are. If you don't identify yourself and my front door is being knocked off its hinges... I'm not going to be asking too many questions either.

That just seems crazy. :confused:

Here in MO we have whats called the "Knock and announce" rule. At anytime, we can go to the door of a turd, beat on the door and yell POLICE...we have a warrant....and then go after a reasonable time...roughly 10 seconds or so if no verbal reply....

I am fairly certain this is SOP in most Depts......

Executing a "no knock" warrant is a gamble. It relies on cops being able to overpower a suspect before he can get armed and resist. Sadly, in today's times even if a homeowner is innocent of the allegations that he initiated the warrant (thus having a clear conscience) and responds to someone breaking down his door with force, he is convicted of murder.

This comes from the idea that "the cops are right, no matter what." A sheeple concept for sure. I am surprised that so many departments still perform the no-knock warrant seeing that it can result in officers being shot. Maybe its about the statistics of successful searches, idk.

I have a family and no reason for LEO to search warrant us, so one thing is for sure, at 2:30 am. anyone breaking into our home without announcing, will be treated as criminals.

We had an incident in South Florida where they did a no knock entry and threw to the ground an elderly couple that was sleeping in their bed. They busted the door down, destroyed their house in the search for drugs and scared the old people half to death.

None of these geniuses suspected there was anything wrong. After the fact, when the old peoples lawyer obtained the warrant signed by the judge, the address for the search was next door.

I've heard this happens around the country. It has to do with police arrogance.

Well I never have a problem with a scub bag getting shot, and he probably is just that. However, very interesting that he isn't charged with Drugs, nor can they comment that drugs were found. Basically all they seem to have is a trumped up stolen gun charge. How can they watch this guy long enough to get a warrent for a raid, and then not find anything and charge the guy for attempted murder in his own house. Just bad police work unless some other things come to the surface. And you know F'n NJ will find some way around it.

Greetings,

Classic mozambique is still teached to many security forces for handguns: 2 body, 1 head.

Normal cops are not trained to mozambique bad guys. Special forces, like SAS and Delta are trained to do ONLY head shots and body shots are considered the second option.

US army, Marines, SEALs, Rangers, etc, are trained to hit the center of mass with multiple shots. Canadian Joint Task Force 2 is trained like SAS: head shots. US nuclear centrals security teams are trained for center of mass (except the snipers again).

I think SWAT teams are trained for center of mass too except the snipers who are trained for different shots.

One thing we begin to see more and more is the deployment and usage of shotguns and AR-15 with the police forces. Many bad guys now use body armors that can stop handgun rounds but not rifle rounds. I was talking with a cop from a neighbour county (He shot a bank robber 1 month ago and he is an ex-air force security officer) and he is exchanging his 9mm SIG for a 44 magnum because he is seeing more and more bad guys wearing II and IIa body armors in GA and SC... He now has an AR-15 in the car (not the trunk)with him equipped with green tips ammo... I think it is a shame that the bad guys are getting more equipped.

Thank you

Greetings,

Another misconception of the typical US citizen...:sleep:

The police is not there to serve and protect. This is only a slogan on thecars to make you feel good. The police mission is there to arrest law violators and make sure the law violators are brought to justice. NOTHING MORE.

The U. S. District Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has made it clear that the police has NO duties to protect the citizen (McKee v. City of Rockwall, Texas, Id. at 413.).

This is not the only court case related to this issue. Riss v. City of New York, 22 N.Y.2d 579, 293 NYS2d 897, 240 N.E.2d 860 (N.Y. Ct. of Ap. 1958); Keane v. City of Chicago, 98 Ill. App.2d 460, 240 N.E.2d 321 (1968); Morgan v. District of Columbia, 468 A.2d 1306 (D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1983); Calogrides v. City of Mobile, 475 So.2d 560 (S.Ct. A;a. 1985); Morris v. Musser, 478 A.2d 937 (1984); Davidson v. City of Westminster, 32 C.3d 197, 185 Cal.Rptr. 252, 649 P.2d 894 (S.Ct. Cal. 1982); Chapman v. City of Philadelphia, 434 A.2d 753 (Sup.Ct. Penn. 1981); Weutrich v. Delia, 155 N.J. Super 324, 326, 382 A.2d 929, 930 (1978); Sapp v. City of Tallahassee, 348 So.2d 363 (Fla.Ct. of Ap. 1977); Simpson's Food Fair v. Evansville, 272 N.E. 2d 871 (Ind.Ct. of Ap.); Silver v. City of Minneapolis, 170 N.W.2d 206 (S.Ct. Minn. 1969) and Bowers v. DeVito, 686 F.2d 61 (7th Cir. 1982).

Thank you

If you read the whole thing you would see what it was Texas law back in 1985 (If I read that correctly)
"Under the Texas assault statutes, and the pre-1985 arrest statutes, the officers would need to find evidence of "serious bodily injury"--an element of an aggravated assault, which is a felony--before they could arrest a person for an assault committed outside of their presence. For the officers to make a misdemeanor arrest for simple assault, an element of which is "bodily injury," either they would have to witness the incident or they would have to procure a warrant. To procure a warrant, it is necessary for the complaining party to file a complaint."

So let me get the straight. So after you took the cops gun that was pointed at your face (I am surprised that none of the other cops shot you after doing that) you give it back like nothing happened and they begin cuffing you guys up after your little stunt if its true. Also they shot the dog? There are a few ways to deal with a dog besides shooting it through the door.
Do you have the case file for this (With you being a witness and help testifying the events.) to prove this even happened? Because my BS meter is going up from what I just read.
