At 10:48 he's stating suspect down. Then he starts screaming drop the weapon, and some bullets rain down on the perp from all around.
I'm good with that. |

If my only long gun is a shotgun then I would have spare ammo, against policy or not I would have it. Slugs could have ended that pretty quick.

I'm suprised Baltimore PD is still allowed shotguns given the stupidity of city leadership.

Did he really deploy with an unloaded shotgun??? View Quote Shells in the magazine, nothing in the chamber. This is because no shotgun has a real safety. All the safeties on shotguns basically just block movement of the trigger. None that I know of block the sear like on a 1911. So they are not drop safe. Thus you store them empty chamber and rack a round in when you need it. Trouble is that this shotgun had a maximum magazine capacity of 4 rounds, and the officers are forbidden by policy from having any extra shells stored on the gun (with a side saddle, a speed-feed stock, or even some fucking velcro) and can't carry any extra ammo on their person either. So they get 4 rounds and that's it. |

Suspected armed robber. Female officer stops the bus, gets on looking for the last people to get on the bus. She's looking for an armed robber and seems quite surprised to actually find one.

shotgun setup is ludicrous! my HD shotgun can hold 7 in the tube and has another 10 on side and stock saddles.

Interesting video for sure. After taking a 4 day shotgun class I learned a lot. They are hungry animals and you have to select the exact ammo for the job. If you don't have some sort of rig to carry that ammo its pretty limited in its use.
Ar's are much more effective in a situation like that. |

Thanks for posting OP....definitely an interesting video. I agree with other posters, that shotgun was just slightly better than worthless. What a crazy policy for that dept to have, here you can have the tool, but nothing to feed it.
That's a great example of what you get when you have people making policy that have no fucking clue what they're doing in the real world. |

The buckshot was actually fairly decently placed...but once it went through the windshield glass it seemed to go wild and never hit dude.

I'm surprised he let everyone off the bus.
I'm also surprised that the police didn't simply tail the damn bus until he got off, then nabbed him, rather than endangering everyone on board like that. |

That was a shitshow.
That first lady cop on the bus was lucky to make it out alive. That shit went on way longer than it should have even without rifles. |

Supposedly the county (outside the city) is less of a liberal shitshow. But I got no personal experience with it. View Quote Baltimore County ranges from urban crap zones (adjacent to the city) to super multi-million dollar horse farms where people like the main guy at Under Armour live. Dundalk is a place which used to be a wonderful blue collar neighborhood where everyone worked at Bethlehem Steel's Sparrows Point facility and is now a shitshow. |

True...but I would have put a TQ on it anyway since I couldn't see the actual wound. View Quote As for sucking up to cover, I agree that you can get too close. On the other hand, I can see doing that if you are trying to take an aimed, rested shot at a target some distance away, particularly if the target isn't showing you much (peeking out from behind cover). In a dense urban environment like that, with so much potential for cross-fire, and innocents as the backstop, accuracy is going to be VERY important.

I guess the vid cut off before we saw what happened, and maybe they were staging it on her leg ahead of getting the pant leg opened up. |

My armchair perspective and criticism.
Cops did not secure the scene as well as they could have. No one opted to cover the only side of the bus with man size openings. No one even tried to get a vantage point behind cover from the other side. One officer in the same relative position as the guy taking the second video may have ended it much sooner. As it turned out no one got killed except the shithead. Perfect outcome regardless of tactical could haves. Edit: and another reason for tactical carbine in pistol caliber or other in the squad car. make the entire force use 9mm and squad cars would carry carbine in 9mm. Every 3rd squad car could have .223 or 6.8spc, 6.5G... so when there is an event that requires multiple responding officers. Someone always shows up with some fire power if needed. standing off @ 3-4 times the normally trained for hand gun distance with a shoulder fired weapon has no equal in that situation. |

Good guys won. That is all that matters.
Firefights are ugly and never look like a training scenario. |

to everyone complaining about a shotgun being useless - is this bad or good?
considering the amount of friendly fire, the officer might only be alive due to the lack of rifles. |

Seemed like limp wristing caused his fails.
Shotgun was right weapon but used poorly IMO, but I understand thats coming from me sitting in my living room. Has it been made public if female cop was hit by friendly fire? |

I wouldn't have... it wasn't bleeding much, if at all.
