The incident you guys are discussing is the Trooper Mark Coates, South Carolina Highway Patrol shooting. I have been told the rounds that Trooper Coates carried on duty at the time were .38+P issued by his agency. The attacker was a fat bastard of 300 pounds. Trooper Coates and the bad guy wrestled in the ditch line, the bad guy firing two shots into the bullet resistant vest of the troopers from a NAA mini .22 Magnum revolver. The vest stopped those two shots from the bad guy. Trooper Coates was able to break away and get to his feet and retreat several steps where he emptied his S&W 686, four rounds striking the bad guy. All four struck the obese bastard in the gut and with a bad angle that didn't send them on a path to the vital organs. After firing his revolver the trooper reached up with his left hand to key his radio mike and fat bastard fired another .22 magnum round which went into the armpit area above the vest and angled into the arteries above the heart. It was a fatal shot. Fat bastard survived and is currently in prison as far as I know. Following this shooting the South Carolina Highway Patrol began issuing .357 Magnum rounds and recalled all the .38+P from duty. If you are so inclined there is a dash cam video on the net. It is not an easy thing to watch or hear. RIP Trooper Coates.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
