Here's the video:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/24/empire-state-building-shooting-video_n_1829400.html

This story really blew me away. After seeing the video I'm not sure I
fault them as much for horrible as judgment as for being terrible shots.
Don't fire 14 times on a crowded street if you can't hit a target 6 feet
away.

There had to be a better way for them to handle this than engaging on a
crowded street. The guy was not a "mass shooter" - he had killed his
target and didn't appear to be threatening anyone else.

Thank god one of bloombergs machine gun toting stormtroopers wasn't on the
scene, dozens could have died.

Real easy from the cheap seats, huh?

You ask any veteran of war or a bar fight, why they didn't 'follow the book,' and see what you get. Some guy just shot other people and is pointing a gun at you, a trained professional from 10' feet away, you're going to take the extra time to look down field, come to a shooting stance, take aim?

Bullshit. You'd shit yourself getting off every shot in your gun.

You mean, like turn and walk away and let the guy walk down the street shooting others? The cop was doing his job. A very dangerous job.

Oh, I see. The cops at the scene were supposed to know that? And you know what 'threatening anyone else' looks like? He had his gun out.

The next time you're in trouble - handle it yourself.

THANK YOU. Maybe 9 people wouldn't have been needlessly shot if someone
with some training and practice had handled it.

They were trained. That was in the part you cut. Sorry if I embarrassed you with fact.

Was that one officer trained to shoot one-handed? It was just like TV,
except he was in a life-or-death situation, or he should have at least
believed he was. Plus they both looked like they were taken by
surprise when the guy turned around. Didn't they understand that they
were after a guy with a gun? They might have been trained, but they
forgot it all.

sure, take a giant shit on the middle class! i definitely want these
100k/yr. public "servants" protecting me. when my child's born, he's
going straight into the arms of devry educated public school teachers. i
hope he can get a six figure salary punching amtrak tickets, once a year
protesting job destroying devices like ticket machines.

At first I was shocked at the number of innocent civilians that where
hit, but I think there were only 3 bystanders that were hit directly
by the bullets they fired. The rest were hit by fragments from the
stone flowerpots or ricocheting bullets. I know this still indicates
very poor accuracy on the part of the officers (considering they only
fired 16 shots) but that is certainly not as bad as what was implied
by the original headlines.

And I don't have all of the details, but it is my understanding that
these guys were not dispatched to apprehend this guy and weren't told
that he was armed and dangerous through their normal channels. It's
my understanding that the construction worker followed the shooter,
and when the construction worker spotted the officers on duty, he told
them what had just happened. I'm not making excuses for poor
accuracy, but imagine if you are a police officer and some guy comes
up to you and says "hey, that guy in the suit just shot and killed
someone". They would have no idea if the construction worker is
telling the truth or not, and I don't know if the normal procedure
would be to immediately draw their weapons as they approached a guy in
a suit that is just casually walking down a street.

I'm not saying that these guys were not trained for this type of
scenario, just that I don't think it is easy to really duplicate this
scenario and how you will respond to it, in a training environment.

there's surveillance video of the encounter. it'd be hilarious if it
wasn't so tragic.

Of course it would be normal procedure. You can't take chances when
lives are very possibly at stake. They're not supposed to approach
with the intention of shooting him, but they have to protect
themselves.

Yea, you are. You're among the fools that think real life is what you see in the movies. That the cop should have walked up to the gunman and just stood there with a mean look (like Clint Eastwood); slowly drawing his gun as the gunman get scared and starts shooting at our unmovable hero ("Close-up of bullets skipping around our hero's feet - missing") as he slowly pulls his long-barrel 45 and shoot our bad guy between the eyes.

Fools like you are the reason police have such a hard time protecting your sorry ass.
