I think the consensus here is that my instructor is a bit of a blowhard as I mentioned. However, that is not all he had to say about Mr. Ayoob. He also related a story about how he was in an NYC police range where he overheard Massad talking to another officer who had just lost a friend in the line of duty.
According to the instructor he was telling this guy how his friend "WOULD HAVE lived" had he done XYZ. One of which was to have an ankle BUG. I scoffed under my breath. Now, I don't pretend to know Mr. Ayoob like amny of you do, you are all much more experianced than I am, but I don't think anyone would be THAT insensative, about the death of an officer, esp on his home turf to HIS FRIEND. Mas is an LEO himself, and doesn't seem to be an insensative jerk, nor does he seem to be stupid. He takes shootings VERY seriously in the videos and articles I've seen.
