Seems like he was holding his gun for a canted one-hand grip and when he opened the door and when he stepped inside he didn't fix his grip for two hands.
Could also be that his fancy red dot on top wasn't turned on/difficult sight alignment under stress and he was instead using the 90° angle of the left side of his pistol to aim at super close quarters.
Could also be that he does indeed think it looks '1998 gangsta rap' badass. Hard to say, really.
Canted or rotated pistol shooting (often tilting the firearm inward by 10 to 45 degrees) for a left-handed shooter is a technique used primarily during one-handed or weak-hand shooting, or to align the pistol's bore/optics with the dominant eye and skeletal structure.
It may fire in the same direction but the elevation and decline of the bullet path changes drastically. Tell me you know nothing about guns without telling me you know nothing about guns.
The rotated sight alignment can introduce a sideways offset, but the effect only becomes noticeable at longer distances. If he were to shoot the guy from where he was standing he would hit him. He looks dumb af but he would hit the target.
Understood, but knowing cops extreme ineptitude i doubt he knows his to use that sight effectively. Probably has it to just look cool got his fellow thugs and can't shoot worth a damn.
I've discharged weapons of all varieties. Started in the army back in 89 and fell in love with the range ever since. Shut your pie hole little bit. When any weapon is fired the projectile immediately has a slight upwards trajectory, evens out for a bit, then starts to sink depending on the weapon. For example, fire an m16a1 at a 300 meter target and you have to shoot around the head to hit center mass. For a berretta m9 anything farther than 25 yards you have to aim around the neck to hit it's effective range of 50 yards. Please stop talking out of your ass.
First off thank you for your service. Second, all of that is irrelevant because in this clip the officer isn't holding an m16 (which you are using as an example) and is less than 10 feet away (much different than the 300 meters you also used as an example.)
You also brought up the Beretta being less effective beyond 25 yards, which the target in the clip is less than 25 yards away. So completely irrelevant.
Is it dead bolted or just on the handle, had the thief tried to get in and messed with it, adrenaline after seeing a dude run away and jump through a window.
Third, cops don't have the right to shoot when not being threatened. Fuck this guy. You're not judge, jury, and executioner over some meth head stealing copper.
I think that's called TMM syndrome. (Too many movies). Junkies see through that every single time. With recoil in that direction, how is he ever going to hit me?
Are those body cameras deliberately placed to obscure evidence when firing a shot? How would you determine if a killing was lawful or not when all you have is a video of a firearm?
He didn’t want to run into a getting shot at scenario and probably assumed he doesn’t have to work hard since his suspect is not bleeding to death anyways.
Yes, he took an extra a few seconds because the guy Running was white. If the dude would’ve been a black dude he would’ve emptied his magazine before that dude jumped out the window.
Bro was probably shocked perp did that. Took a moment to process it. Then said weighed out how necessary it was to chase dude willing to bleed to death from a window.

Is it just me or did that police officer take a comically long time to open that door?
