Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tacoma Cop Makes 180yd Shot on Perp

Note that not one of the chest pounders and "It wasn't a hard shot" claimers has responded with how many people they have shot in anger. I must assume that the grand total from all of them is therefore - zero.

So when discussing how this officer performed, they should probably STFU and go back to plinking at tin cans.

I haven’t judged the officer or shooting one way or the other, I’m just curious as to why you would stipulate "shot in anger" as part of your position on the matter?

Plenty of people both good and bad have been shooting each other “in anger” for as long as there have been weapons to shoot. It may be difficult for some people but it isn’t for all.

This vary video shows that. The “bad guy” had no problem pulling the trigger and the cop nonchalantly sat down his coffee uncased his rifle and shot the shooter with apparent ease and no mental gymnastics.

To damn bad he wasn't in Uvalde that fateful day......

Same here. Would like to buy him a coffee to replace the one that got cold on him.

Hookie schit!! You know Billy Gibbons?

amazing what someone can accomplish with practice, practice practice.

He didn’t look dry angry when he made that shot. Bored? Yes. Angry? No.

Pffft! Optics on a rifle.

Impressive would have been forehead with irons and a Beretta.


As far as being cool?

He must h ave gotten pretty worked up.
Ain't nothin' gettin' my attention before i see the bottom of my coffe cup!

That was an outstanding shot
No other way to look at it. One shot, leaning against his cruiser. Red dot sight... most agencies do not train at 180 yards, most don't have ranges that far.
Dept i retired from used 55 Ballistic tip loads. Not sure what they use now but i think TAP.

It was a good shot, but not hard. I could make it with a pistol.

Officer was taking fire from the suspect when he made the shot, which was fatal.

This is golden.

The best comment on the whole silly thread.

The collection of keyboard warriors who have never fired a shot in anger nor been shot at by a competent adversary.

Funny that we know nothing about the perp.

Anyone who cannot hit a man sized target at 180 yards with a well equipped AR from an improvised rest needs more training.

Good luck trying to find any account of the shooting other than the OP's original link.

I could and there are people here that know I could.

Scott, it didn’t seem like he was engaged long enough to allow the Java to cool, but agree with the sentiments.

Good mindset. The shot was easy, for a fella with the right mindset. For myself, and a lot of country boys around here, that is short range. Hell, my range at the house is three hundred, can shoot a thousand over the next ridge. With a decent AR and ammo, 180 is no trouble at all. Even with the mini Aimpoint type sight the officer was using. Nice to see a man who can do the deed when warranted with a minimum of fuss.

LOL.

I have killed a lot of stuff with handguns including this elk at 200 yds.

You are a dumb schiet.

Laughing.
