‘Sir, why did you shoot me?’

Holy shit. I just saw for the first time that the cop who hit Kinsey was firing a LONG GUN from ~50 yards. And based on the pics we've seen of kinsey on the ground hands up, it looks like he missed by multiple feet?

Hope for his sake that his gun wasn't sighted in properly. Cause how the fuck?

Is that bad ?

Yes that is why I would inject more violence into the situation and beat the cop very badly with the rifle he used-- for missing.

50 yards is a pretty long ways to shoot accurately with a pistol. Cops are trained to do it though, and it's possible to be accurate enough to hit a human target even further away.

But a rifle is like 10x more accurate than a pistol. You have more contact points with the gun, helping to stabilize it. You have a longer "sight radius" meaning you can line up your eye with the sights (or scope) with the target more easily. The recoil is probably easier to handle for more accurate follow-up shots. And more.

Anyone who shoots rifles should be ashamed of missing by feet at 50 yards (or so). A trained cop (apparently also on their swat team) should be shooting apples off of heads at that distance without fail.

Obviously the situation wasn't quite like target practice at the range, but it really sounds like the only way out of getting fired (or worse) for the guy is if his equipment was defective.

Not a single cell-phone video of any shots being fired, or the actual shooting.

Not 1 single shot is available on any of the cell-phone video released to the public, and the viral video captures only a statement from the victim and something about autism and disability.

Very unusual. The raw cell-phone video not being readily available first of all, and then not capturing a single shot during a tense moment is extremely uncommon.

Color me skeptical now. "Sir why did you bullshit me?"

Hmmm, so pretty bad then. Maybe even horribly incompetent?

Maybe even horribly bullshit.

Everyone be sure to let us know if you find anything.

The furthest I've shot was 300yds on a 7.62×39mm thru iron-sight. First shot is the hardest, but from there on it's a pretty easy grouping if taking your time. 50yds... whatever caliber he was shooting, and not being a sniper rifle w/ scope, I could see it slightly possible at least for the first round going pretty stray. If he was squeezing off the trigger fervently, and under stress, than the likelihood of a later round going stray is probably pretty high, even at 50yds with a rifle. Not an excuse, just an observation. I'm wondering which round hit him.

they should install AI on guns so that when u pull the trigger the gun decides if its gona shoot or not.. or fuck that, just take off the trigger altogether and the AI makes the decision when you point the gun at the person

Take Back the Streets: Crush Criminals. Cops must be unleashed, and allowed to administer instant punishment, subject of course to liability when they are in error. --(((Rothbard)))

Unleash the cops, but give them body cams and public trials for shootings.
