That officer is a hunter, plain and simple, and the kind of officer we need more of. Waited til the pursuit got off of the busy main streets to start returning fire and do so with gusto. The timing and efficiency of that reload may have been FUBARed, but I’m not going to act as though I’d have my shit together any better given the circumstances.
I’d be honored to buy him a drink.

I wish I hadn't read YouTube and Facebook comments. In what rational mindset could a human being possibly not find this a justified shoot?!
As an added bonus, ABC News clipped off the first three minutes with dozens of shots fired at the officer to make the clip look like the officer just went aggro during a pursuit.
Get really tired of this media narrative. I'm not one of these 'the left wing media is conspiring' people at all, but I think the bias against police in particular has become apparent and overwhelming.

There isn't much in the off-the-shelf category. Several systems have been offered over the years but I haven't seen one for sale in a while.
I have a friend who is an uber radio geek. He's rigged up systems using a free button on the steering wheel and a secondary microphone but it's custom work.
I used to build our patrol cars with a foot switch for siren control which was a true hands-free solution but nobody liked it except me.

Drifting the thread but it'd be interesting to see a decent tongue/mouth actuated radio like they use in aviation become popular.
