LVMPD shooting of kidnapping suspect. One officer had an FN 509 with optic.
Metro Nashville, Tennessee Highway Patrol, and an off-duty Mt. Juliet PD officer shoot EDP. The Metro officer that fired the last two rounds has already been decommissioned.
We have in the past had incidents far 'worse' optics wise, and involving more officers firing more rounds. Resulted in major changes in both policy and training. On the training side, those changes were massively for the better. On the policy side....not so much. In my last few months on the job, I find myself wondering if this, one of the oldest police departments on the west coast, will actually still exist in 2 years. And that isn't hyperbole.
I saw another story on this incident that says the Chief wants their training division to take a look at this and make recommendations. Might be a good thing.
Good example of a “psychological stop”. Great job by the officer not shooting the dude while he was on the ground trying to get the officer to shoot him again.
Denver CO. attempted carjacker steals a cop car that was left running and unlocked with the keys in it and an unsecured AR and ammo in the passenger seat.

On a side note, how common is steel cased ammo put out for patrol rifle use? Noticed it in the mag recovered from the driver floorboard.[/QUOTE]
We used the Hornady steel cased ammo for training and sometimes in backup magazines stored in the cars. It proved to be as reliable and accurate as the Federal American Eagle training ammo we previously used. We carried a 20 round mag of Hornady GMX in the gun, but it would get expensive filling up backup mags with it.
