Praise God For Watching Over "OUR" Police Officers !

[redarrow]

A  routine traffic stop in Montana turns ugly. Turn up your computer volume.  

Listen for the first "click" as the driver points the gun at  the trooper....a .41 magnum revolver. The "click" is the hammer   dropping on an already fired round in the cylinder.  The second  round was live! A lucky trooper indeed!

The suspect was shot  in the back while driving away and died on scene after crashing.  

Observe the speed at which the trooper draws  his weapon and fires... accurately!  Practice makes perfect.

Daggone he was lucky.God was with him that night.

Very lucky indeed. Being a State Trooper for the past 19 years has tought me to never think it is just another traffic stop.

Here is my question and I am not Monday morning QBing this officer. But why did he have his flash light in his right hand??? He is a right handed shooter and he had his light in that hand. The fraction of a second that it took him to transition the light to his offhand and then draw his weapon could have cost him his life. It is small things that will get you killed.

I am very happy that he was able to go home at the end of his shift, many do not. And to see the bad guy take a round and crash into a pole is great.  I hope he was lung shot and died very slowley.....

Just my .02

I never noticed the flashlight switch. Good point. Hope he learns.

That's a happy ending, both ways. I doubt that was over a DUI.

[Crutch]

I can't imagine how he felt in the 10 seconds where he moved away and unloaded his gun. I'm glad he survived. He should have reloaded and emptied the 2nd mag also.

[FttFttVroom!]

I have much respect for our state troopers.  Nobody seems to think they do more than just write tickets.

Some one was riding with him that night. Glad he survived and saved the tax payer the lawyer fees. That was too close for comfort.

It was over a DUI but you never know what is in the head of some people. He had a shitty "I don't care if I live" life.  I have had 18 good years in the job so far and it has been some close ones but not that close.

[Limbstrutter]

Some people have no respect for human life. The officer did the right thing in my opinion .

[Gobble!]
