Shots fired at Dallas Love??

No love at Dallas love eh?

Can't we all just get along
 
damn.
rock, paper, scissors, gun

gun apparently beats rock.
 
The guy was/is an idiot. He bashed a car with rocks then decided it was a good idea to walk toward a cop with a rock in his hand. Maybe he wanted to die. No word on his condition as of now.
 
9 shots fired and "some" hit the suspect. I really hope the other rounds are in a wall behind the perp. That's always pretty crazy when a cop hopped up on adrenaline discharges a weapon in a crowded area.
Pretty bad shooting too if the lunatic is still alive.
Might not have been a suicide-by-cop scenario, maybe he's just stupid and let rage blind his brain. We are humans, we pull bonehead maneuvers occasionally.
 

Link to footage of whole thing. Looks like guy got hit then got up and charged again hence the 9 shots.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
 
Wow. Dude wasn't gonna stop till he either hurt someone else or the cops. They retreated quite a ways as he was throwing up his best thug style persona.

Is that last part directed toward the guy with the rock or the cop? Your whole post is better if read with the shooter in mind, and not the bad guy. ;)
 
Sorta redefines the idea of "The white zone is for..."
 
Personally I love the folks who couldn't be bothered to retreat to safety and continued loading their craptastic baggage into their cars. Southwest customers I tell ya, they'll get happily shot as long as they can secure A zone boarding lol. Flying has become an entitlement in this Country.
 
The officer needs to be sent to the Gunsite Academy for the 350 Combat Class (99% of officers need it).

And there are numerous other combat handgun training courses around the country
As an old police surgeon I have taken the typical police department shooting training many times. It is pretty basic (way too basic - stand there and shoot at a static target at 15 yards)
Over the years I have been able to convince some officers to join the IDPA and shoot in the local contests. To a man they have come back and told me it was worthwhile. But better yet would be one of the combat training schools. One even moved on to shooting steel and became nationally ranked.
 
"Police Surgeon"? That's a new one to me........ Is that a self appointed position? I have never seen or heard of a PD or SO that has a Surgeon on the books.
 
Typical............


Nice job by the cops though, kept him out of the terminal. Wonder what the woman's role in all this is? She looked just as loopy as he did.

"Take your **** and fly your ass back you your mamas house" is abput what it looked like to me.
 
Maryland man, jailed for malicious mischief, gets out of jail heads to the airport to get his girl and starts beating on a car windshield with a chunk of concrete. Yeah, nice stable individual. Texas is a far cry from Maryland. Not only do the police have guns but a good proportion of the bystanders.

Not at the airport though. Can't take a CCw in. I saw some TSA stats maybe a year ago where TX was I believe #1 in gun seizures at the checkpoints.

This took place out on the sidewalk out front. There's no outright ban on concealed carry in terminals (before security) unless the airport has specifically posted it (just like anywhere else). Love Field does have such signs on the doors.

While he was not a Surgeon, I had a Medic at minimum and most times a trauma doc with us while on our SERT team. They were not full time but fully mandated and sworn. Went through the same training as everyone else. So yes, there are often surgeons and or doctors!!
 
Gonna be interesting to see if he had any weapons. If he reached for a pocket, a waistband or behind his back. That's going to come up. My take on it is probably justified. One cop, it's a no brainier. Even with two cops, guns drawn and both having a bead on him, it doesn't seem like a good call to wait and see if he gets his hand on the cops gun before pulling the trigger. His fate was probably sealed when he charged the cop.

I know you mean traditional weapons but I can see a 5 or 10 lb rock as being a weapon.

"Witness Bryan Armstrong said it appeared the man was approaching the officer with a large rock when he was shot."

Unless you've been in a shooting situation you don't know how accurate you will be. Even the best shooters aren't always good in an intense situation. A lot of officers have studied this video:
Two bad guys, two state troopers, very close range and all shooting. Nobody was hit.
 
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I know you internet gun fighters coulda done a better job than the cop backpeddling and trying not to get hit with a large rock by a nutjob , but at somewhere around 35-40% hit ratio (several rounds hit out of 9) he is around average in police hit ratios. Having said that, and being head of training at my department, I know cop training sucks. It sucks because bureaucrats are more concerned with their budgets and injury reports than real life training. Unfortunately that breeds cops who's first go-to force option is the handgun. Too bad for the nut that the guy who had the taser out didn't get there first.

Heh.

Delta and Virgin American also serve KDAL... and this was right outside baggage claim. ;-)
 
Flew out of Love today. You couldn't tell anything had happened.

Landed at LAX and I've never seen more cops anywhere.

My bad, wasn't clear enough. Yes, the last sentence was about the crazy guy .. um .. yeah ... not the cop ... the crazy guy ... the rock guy. :D

Funny y'all mention CC in TX. There's a satirical clip about an idiot walking into a store and pulling a guy on the clerk ... just to get about 20 lasers on him instantly from all the CC holders shopping. :) Somebody look it up on YT, I am too lazy.
