It looked like the motorcycle chase between lanes of moving traffic was the most dangerous part. Speaking from experience, shooting right-handed from a motorcycle is pretty iffy since the throttle is also operated with the right hand on most bikes.

more arterial gushing....with the bow hunt awesome shot thread and this...it's a good week
|

Is it just me or do the report for the shots sound off??? Is that due to the microphone on the GoPro? It sounds almost suppressed, but i don't see one on the pistol.

View Quote Looks like he was already off his bike. Surprised no one was hit though, hell of a shot. |

I'm assuming that that was some kind of armed robbery, probably car jacker....
Gonna let him go to do it agan??? Be curious as to the story. |

Way to get the job done. Nice riding. Great shooting. Hard charging stud right there. Perfect example of controlling yourself in a high stress situation and not letting the situation control you.

Anyone want to take a stab at a translation? View Quote First thing he says is get out mtherfker. then he talks into the mic about intercepting the suspect and having to shoot him. They were clearly looking for the guy and the guy on the bike just catches up with him at the police check point. The other officer probably wasn't so sure but bike guy was. FerFAL |

ETA - I'm wrong - some of the shots were fired down the freeway....
(Last shots) If you freeze frame the video, all the shots were fired in a clear direction with nothing but dirt 'beyond' the target. Great shooting bro!.... |

Bad guy had a motorcycle helmet on. Isnt it a common practice down there for two guy to pull up in a motorcycle and one guy jump off to jack the car while the other guy speeds away on the bike. |

US, though you can't rule the same thing out entirely, typically it would depend on what he was wanted for and what threat he posed.
In the US shooting at cars moving away from you is typically frowned upon. There are exceptions but car theft is not one of them. Armed and dangerous can be. Nice shooting. I will say this and not being totally negative, that many cops and shots fired, the vehicle would be lucky to not have 40 or 50 rounds in it. Tactics in the US are very much fire and keep firing mostly till the threat is stopped but very often escalated by others firing much like a firing line in combat is. Kind of rough really because afterwards there's a lot of second guessing and now even criminal prosecution. After the riots in Baltimore, the city took on the murder capital bragging rights. Law enforcement took a nose dive, understandably I might add. Tj |

He leakin
ETA: I assume the fatal shot was one that he pulled off while in the full run? That is very, very impressive. |

Motorcycle Cop is a bad ass. Good shooting, controlled and all while doing a lethal weapon run down on foot....
|

As far as the reaction in the US? Sadly it depends on the color of the cop and perp. I say this seriously. I don't consider myself racist or this to be a racists reply, just factual from recent happenings in this country...

I initially thought it was a motorcycle helmet but it looks like just his gray hair. |

It's a hard choice to have to make but the driver was just as much a threat to innocents
down the road while he was running. |

Interesting that the cops do not carry cocked and locked. Looked like he racked the slide after dismounting from the bike. |

The first officer in the white helmet that camera wearer mover out of the way.... when camera guy pushed hI'm out of the way, where'd he go? Did the bad guy run him over?

That wouldn't fly very good here.
Like OP said. Way to many people around. Get back up, block traffic from going forward, set up a road block up ahead and let the bad guy drive into the road block. |

Good shooting. Did anyone else see the officer rack a round into his gun on the way up to the vehicle during his initial approach? Not a very smart tactic. Not sure if that's how they carry their weapons down there or not. As far as shooting at a moving vehicle on a packed multi lane highway, I don't think my dept would look at that very kindly. Unless the perp just murdered a car full of nuns. Pretty gutsy move on the officers part. And not all police shootings end with a hail of gunfire. Just the ones that end up on the news lately I guess.

I wasn't aware any police force anywhere required officers to carry a firearm that isn't chambered! That is crazy. Other than that it looked like a pretty good shoot as long as it fit into the laws/SOP of that location. Here in the U.S. shooting at a moving car would get the officer reprimanded at best, fired at worst and possibly charged if an innocent was hit.
