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.

He could have shoved it into the car he was hiding behind. Or slid it under the vehicle he was hiding behind.

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.

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.

Don't go looking for trouble unless you expect to find it.

Yeah I noticed the casual attitude of that officer too.

Hey, if it's worth blocking the road to stop the bus, it's probably worth not going in flat footed and contentedly chewing your cud.

Standard setup for a police shotgun is "cruiser ready"

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.

No round in the chamber is a lot better in case of car fire too. Cook off in the chamber won't tend to kill people nearby, a cook off in the barrel could.

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.

I remember reading something from DocGKR about that:  Metro buses are like armored vehicles with that laminated safety glass.  People think that car windshields are magic on bullets, just wait until you see the almost triple thickness of that in the form of metro bus glass...

Think GKR was saying bonded .308 or Brenneke (and only Brenneke, light mag/black magic/special forces) slugs worked really well against that glass.

I don't think the bad guy had any idea of any of this, however, I think it allowed him to live as long as he did.

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.

I was VERY surprised the bad guy was able to make a run from the bus without getting lit up right away.  I figured as soon as he stepped out, he'd get turned into swiss cheese.  I suppose he layed enough cover fire where everyone was hiding behind cover and couldn't really catch seeing him run until he was already to the van.  Wow.

Yep, I only pointed it out because the shitty leaders of Baltimore City are completely different from the leadership of Baltimore County, which are only half-shitty.

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.

Once he emptied it, if he didn't have more rounds on his duty belt (highly doubtful), it was a stick.  No side saddle with more rounds, and no sling to hang it.  His only option was to drop it and transition.

If you are going straight to surgery I think a TQ is acceptable immediately on any penetrating wound. Could've used an Izzy or some Celox I suppose.

If I'm wrong I'm interested to hear the proper response. Swear I had read a lot of trauma policy these days calls for a lot more TQ usage.

The video was interesting. An AR would've made short work of the perp. Slugs would've been a better option for the 12ga but as noted above ammo issues. They're lucky that dumbass wigger thought he was Denzel or some shit and had those POS guns. Cop bobbled a pistol reload and the TQ application was sloppy but that could happen to anybody.

Overall I thought they did well. They really need to get that rifle situation squared away. Why can't every officer have an active shooter kit with an AR and PC in the trunk? Its worth the expense.

That's my understanding as well. When I was raised in the scouts, the mantra was always that a tourniquet was last ditch thing. However, more recent experience found that mindset led to people delaying in putting them on when they should have and that if you have a reasonably short time in getting the injured to a trauma center, a tourniquet is a fine "better safe than sorry" thing.  

But in this case, the wound didn't seem to be bleeding much, and I would think that assessing it first would make sense (and based on the amount of blood, a compress may have done fine).  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.

Unless it changed combat lifesaving teaches to tourniquet over clothes and evacuate, then assess and add a tourniquet above the wound if needed when not under fire.

Eta: Remember the number one goal is get to cover without the casualty dying. Assessment is high on the priority list, but you don't assess under fire because that's a good way to have two casualties.

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.

I agree.

Just an observation...

Are regular officers trained to close with a shooter?

I remember that Dallas PD shooting, and the bad guy was effective in murdering that one officer by closing with them.

Are officers that carry rifles trained in that tactic?

I understand that's a bad idea with a handgun.
