Gotta admit LVMPD officers seem well squared-away in the proficient use of firearms department, if these recent videos are any accurate representation.

Yet another video that shows how effective the taser can be.Originally Posted by TC215

They really are. Great initial and inservice training. Good budget for equipment. They do a good job of backing the troops. It's a very political agency but, hey, they all are to an extent.

St. Paul PD OIS:
Officers were responding to reports of shots fired.
I do have two critiques of this:
1. Officers should’ve announced as they knocked. Homeowner may have thought he was dealing with other unwanted guests (potential home invasion set-up). Granted homeowner shouldn’t have gone outside with his gun if he thought something was askew. And perhaps identifying may not have changed much since we know some crooks have claimed to be police to lure unsuspecting occupants outside to initiate a violent crime.
2. Officers might’ve been better served utilizing a command other than “put your hands up” once they noticed the firearm. Watching the video it looks like he was attempting to comply with the request as he raised his arms and the gun was pointing upwards but by that time the threat was perceived and lead was flying.
I don’t think it was necessarily a bad shoot, but some better practices by all involved could’ve likely prevented it.

Agree, HCG. We'll never know now, but it seems the failure to communicate effectively and the poor choice of commands led to an unfortunate (and perhaps unnecessary) result.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Maybe I'm wrong , but didn't the police respond because this guy had already fired his gun and then pointed it at his roommate's head?
I didn’t read that in the news report I read, but it’s possible.
All I know is they were responding to a shots fired call at the residence.

I read that in the description of the video on the YouTube channel "Police Activity". It's worth a read.
Can you clarify what you consider a "bad shoot"?
Shooting someone who doesn’t need shooting.
