2 cops fire 84 rounds out of 2 weapons, and the guy is hit 14 times...... AND HE LIVES! Sounds like these guys couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat!

Someone please inform us of officers weapon, caliber and ammo used in this shoot.

I want to make sure I don't have any of them.

A good book on this is Malcolm Gladwell's Blink.   Part of the book covers exactly this type of situation and why it gets out of hand.

only 14 our of 84..  and I though I was a bad shot.. 


think some peoples may need to re-qualify and take a lot more training

NYPD Sgt. Alexander Mesa fired 39 shots, and Officer Joseph Robinson got off 45 rounds. Murray was hit 14 times, and refused to drop his weapon, reports the New York Daily News.

that would be nearly all the ammo they would of been carrying 
and I would suspect they may not of ever have been in a situation of a force on force,  and panicked as SHTF

the first thing nycity cuts back on in their budgeting crisis is training and services so they can increase taxes,the problem is they don't reinstate the training after raising the taxes and it's a downward spiral.

They must have each burned through about 3 mags of ammo only hit him 1/6 of the time. That's some bad shootin'.

Good rule of thumb is that if they are not avid "gun guys" they can't hit their ass with both hands and a map.

Hey Tom, what was the quote again?

Experts train till they can't get it wrong,
Proffessionals train only as much as they're paid to. ?
