Actual ND caught on tape

I hope I get this right.

This should be a link to a video of a police officer having an ND caught by the news.

If that doesn't work this is the site I got the link from:

Finger off the trigger...

 

When did this happen ?
I work as a firefighter in Las Vegas. I am surprised I didn't hear about it before. Of course maybe it is because I don't watch channel 13 news. Channel 3 has the better looking newscasters.

 

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all the Saints !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished downloading that on my ultra slow dial-up connection. How do you explain that ? I can't imagine doing something like that at my job. If I still had a job I would never hear the end of it. Someone, somewhere would bring it up every day for the rest of my career if I wasn't fired on the spot.

 

Dude, what a dufus! I like how she (or he, hard to tell...) sheepishly puts the gun away afterwards.

 

I hope she was FIRED

Pun intended.

What did the bullet hit, about 6 inches from the guy's head?

I'm surprised it didn't ricochet and hit the cop cuffing the guy.

This stupidity is actually painful to watch.

 

Holy crap. I'm trying to look for a story on it, running a 'las vegas police negligent discharge' and 'las vegas police accidental discharge' didn't bring up any hits.

 

You might try looking up "Metro"

Years ago (like 40 years ago) the Las Vegas PD and the Clark County Sheriff's Dept joined forces to become the Las Vegas Metropoliton Police Dept. referred to by everyone, including the news media, simply as Metro.

I certainly don't think it is some kind of internet hoax. That is the Channel 13 logo, those are definitely Metro uniforms and vehicles. The only thing that doesn't seem right is the fact that it says Las Vegas, NV on the bottom left of the screen. It already says Las Vegas on the right side of the screen. If you were watching Channel 13 in Las Vegas pretty much the only place you would be watching it, it would be perfectly obvious to you where it was, I can't see them putting that on a news story, but who knows ?

 

IIRC that clip is at least several years old.

 

What does "IIRC" mean?

 

If I Recall Correctly

 

thanks!

 

That cuffer practically levitated..



I certainly feel safe with her protecting me.

 

Liberals are so convinced that it is us who needs to be disarmed because we have armed police to protect us

 

Lucky her aim was as bad as her safety-consciousness, otherwise that suspect would have turned into a grease spot.

 

At least this will serve as a wonderful negative example for FTUs across the world!

THE FOUR RULES ALWAYS APPLY! Even in a fight. Even if you wear polyester and a tin badge. Even if you think you are really cool and don't need to obey them.

 

I just watched that horrific scene again. Isn't that pistol an M9???

Aren't crunchentickers purportedly "safe" for police use?

Cops don't need "Iwannacoolguns". They don't need gizmos, crunchentickers, and laser/phasers.

Cops need training. They are not getting it. We all must redouble our efforts to institute more and better firearms training for our police officers across the nation, except Ohio State Patrol which must be disarmed entirely and any LE agency that fought against carry reform in Red, Misery or Minnn-ehhh-sooo-tah.

 

I think that perp jumped out of the cuffs, up to Heaven, and back when that happened...

 

I think I heard about this "incident" (what I want to call it is banned on the board) a couple of years ago.

 

Holy Cow! How she managed not to hit that guy, considering she was aiming at his HEAD at that close range... This is beyond scary!

 

I have a hard time seeing how she managed to miss the other officer with a ricochet off the pavement. I bet there was a Come To Jesus meetin' after that one.

The reason it's marked "Las Vegas, NV" on the left is that it's being replayed by other affiliates. If you watch the lower-right-hand corner you see the markings for three different stations--a channel 13 first, which says "Channel 13 Las Vegas," but also a channel 10 and a channel 12, probably from other parts of the country.

That's worth seeing for everyone. It CAN happen to you if you have the same disrespect for the rules as she did.

 

Y'know, watching that again, it almost looks like the cuffer had to tell her to aim lower--watch carefully. At first she has the gun fairly high. In fact, it looks from that angle like she could be aiming it at that officer instead of the suspect. Then he looks up and, it seems, says something to her. She lowers the gun a bit and takes a half step forward, and BANG!

 

:banghead:

That's what I thought. He looks up and sees he's being covered. Yells at her. She lowers the gun and cranks one off. I wonder if she was trying to decock or somthing?

 

Wow, that is some serious buffoonery!

That suspect almost jumped right out of his mullet!

 

God help us if that's the training some of our LEOs are getting.
