drugs are a motherfunker

[jaydee]

Wow, what kind of gun, bullets, did the cop have?

[Tinman507]

PPD carry Glocks in 9 .40 or .45. Std issue I think is a G17. They're permitted to carry .40 or .45 at their expense and must qualify with them.

[jeepster09]

Guessing it was a 9.....and bad guy on drugs NEED BIGGER BULLITS:86:

[Tinman507]

I'd wager once he recovers, the policeman will be looking into a .40 at least.

[MW surveyor]

Man, gotta be a btch getting beat with your own stick. Bet he starts looking into the 40 or a 45 next, as you say Tinman.

[Barth]

Ah the notorious bullet sponge.
Everyone's nightmare.

When the guacamole really hits the fan,
I always fall back to my Martial Arts training.

My Master always drilled into us headlights and wheels.
Meaning if an attacker can't stand, and/or see,
they are at a distinct disadvantage.

It's funny how the biggest guy will drop when you blow out his knee.

[emopunker2004]

It's amazing what the human body can take. People soak up bullets and just keep going, by drugs or sheer will to survive. There's a police officer in my department who was shot numerous times with a 45 including taking rounds under the vest and to the face and he kept on going and eventually killed the BG.

I carry a 45 but anybody who thinks the 45 is a magic one shop manstopper/fightstoper each and every time is wrong. They make bigger holes but they are not a lightenting bolt from God.

Barth my instructors always praised turning a limb, preferably an arm into a flipper. That usually slows them down a bunch.

Seems like a wrist strap would keep that baton from getting away from him. Must have been like dawn of the dead! That big zombie couldn't be stopped with bullets!

[TheTman]

at 320 lbs, perhaps the bullets didn't penetrate his fat to reach any vital organs.

when i lived in baton rouge we sometime carried rubber bullets in crowd situations. when i moved to sc my oldest son came up to visit and seeing the size of some of the local german mountain people suggested that i change over to blubber bullets.

Man, you said a mouthful there!!

[Deano]

Apparently there is one advantage to carrying around a few extra pounds. Holy cow, 320 lbs, on a 6'1" frame. That's a big ol' boy.

A close friend of mine lives in Philly, was born and raised there. He is planning, saving and working to GET OUTA THERE! Wants to move to Orlando.

Remember when The Mayor ordered an incendiary Bomb dropped? It was WEST PHILADELPHIA, should have been a bigger bomb.
Tells you something.....

[Tinman507]

My folks were born and raised in SW Philadelphia. They cry everytime (very infrequently) they go near there. It's like going through Fallujah.

Tells you something.....Wilson Goode was his name. Osage Ave was the exact place. He was trying to remove a group called Move who "squatted" into some abandoned homes. They were a radical "back to Africa" group. I remember it well. I lived in southern NJ about 10 minutes "over the river" from Philly. 10 years earlier Officer James Ramp was killed while trying to do the same thing to the same group of people in a different location. Funny thing... the fire bombed area was "rebuilt" at the cities expense. The contractor took all the money and never finished building the houses. To this day, there are no livable houses on that block.

[downtownv]

The work was so shoddy. They gave the work to minority firms, I believe, who built homes, were paid, that couldn't gets c/o for the residents. Typical government work.

[muggsy]

What ever happened to calling for back-up? Sounds like the officer made several mistakes in handling this arrest. Fortunately for him they weren't his last mistakes.
