A Good-Guy-With-A-Gun Doesn’t Know Who (NOT) To Shoot

[BertramN]

Second Amendment fanatics constantly boast that a good-guy-with-a-gun can save the day.

This fairy tale has been proven wrong countless times, but it persists. The Second Amendment fanatics see themselves as someday intervening in a police shoot-out and knowing immediately what the situation requires. They know that, like on TV, they will be able to see what is happening from many different angles, and recognize who is a policeman and who is the “bad-guy-with-a-gun”. They will act with fearlessness and precision, their ability being superior to those trained in law enforcement.

Basically, these Second Amendment fanatics envision themselves as “Dirty Harry”

Well, that isn’t how it is, and police officers in St. Louis discovered this when they shot one of their own who was off duty. Of course, the off-duty officer the white cops shot was black.

As has been reported, after the stolen car they were chasing crashed, the two white cops, naturally fearing for their safety, began shooting at the suspects. Hearing what was happening outside his home, the black, off-duty officer went to assist.

The two white cops, again fearing for their safety, “ ‘challenged the off-duty officer and ordered him to the ground, to which he complied.’ ”

The two white cops finally recognized the black-man-with-a-gun, now face-down on the pavement, as a fellow St Louis policeman, “and told him to stand up and walk towards them.”

Believing himself to be safe, the black, off-duty officer rose to his feet and walked toward his white colleagues. Then, a third white cop, pumped up on adrenaline with expectations of a gunfight arrived.

The third white cop, again, fearing for HIS safety, and seeing a black-man-with-a-gun approaching his buddies, pumped a slug into the black off-duty officer. He did this before taking the few seconds required to discern the true situation, and was lucky his eagerness to kill didn’t do more damage than wounding the black officer in his arm.

It is expected that Second Amendment fanatics will learn nothing from this incident. They will go on with their mistaken belief that they can someday be heroes. They believe, with no doubt what-so-ever, they will know instinctively who the bad guy is, and will take him out with one clean shot.

But, this myth does not hold up under scrutiny, and unfortunately, this does not deter Second Amendment fanatics' fantasy, how, with their clean-cut good looks, nerves of steel, and heroic demeanor, they will stand as shining examples of what a good-guy-with-a-gun can do.

This incident in St. Louis adds to the volumes of evidence already collected, that the majority of Americans are correct in wanting common sense gun restrictions passed nationwide.

White police officer shoots off-duty black officer in St Louis

Same old tired opportunistic BULLSHIT.

What got the off duty cop shot on the arm was not typical of gun owners who have guns to protect themself and their homes at all.

It's far more indicative of the Billy badass attitude that many cops have and we can add to that, a failure to communicate and some police training issues.

Name one law that would have kept this accidental shooting from taking place.

Just one.

This can happen, yes. It has nothing to do with this incident. Most CCWs know not to get involved in Police combat and if they don't then they need to return to CCW school. A non LEO should never bet involved unless the LEO is down and in need to intervention. When you have more than one LEO involved best to take cover and wait it out. You have a gun to protect yourself.

Wow stereotype much?

FYI My personal ethic on carrying a concealed weapon is that it is for self defense only (that includes defense of my wife) and not for defense of the public.

If I see some person stupid enough to trust his safety and well being to government law enforcement I will not draw my weapon to defend him as , in my opinion, that would be in direct conflict with his own freely made choice to be defenseless. I would never tell anyone what choices they should make and accept those choices unequivocally as long as they do not affect my right to make my own choices.

So if I see said idiot getting the tar kicked out of him by a piece of shit criminal, I will honor his choice to trust government law enforcement to protect him and I will call the cops and an ambulance and hope they get there before the idiot gets dead.

Americans use guns to stop violent criminal attack 1,500,000 times a year...according to bill Clinton and Batak Obama........there are over 15.7 million people carrying guns for self defense........and yet you guys still have to lie about American gun owners.......

Gun murder has gone down 49% since the 1990s......gun crime is down 75% and violent crime is down 72%......nothing you posted even comes close to the truth about American gun ownership.

 

[2aguy]

And of course, in Dallas.....when the black lies matter sympathizer started killing police officers, there were people in the march carrying not only pistols but AR-15 rifles.....they got out of the way and let the police deal with him............

At the gabby Gifford shooting there were two concealed carriers.....neither one fired or was shot at by police because the shooter was already grabbed....


Nothing you posted is true or accurate...

Regressives know sooooooooo much that isn't true.

Fact: Police are Much More Likely to Shoot the Wrong Person than Armed Citizens

One of the recurring anti gun arguments that I hear centers on the mistaken belief that gun owners will end up shooting an innocent person (such as a child, bystander, etc.) when trying to defend themselves against a criminal. The fact is that armed citizens are about 5.5 times less likely than the police to accidentally shoot the wrong person.

[A]lthough only 2 percent of those involved in civilian shootings are misidentified, 11 percent of individuals involved in police shootings were later found to be innocents misidentified as criminals.
