Lock N Load with Bill Frady Ep 3261

out

there now today, and they've been watching too much Miami Vice, and they think when you shoot somebody one time, they fly backwards 27 feet, and that's all it takes to put somebody down, is what you were telling me earlier.

Yeah, so it's kind of one of those situations where normally if a police officer does something hinky or dumb, I'm going to call it out.

Right.

I have no problem with that.

I wore the uniform and I wore the badge.

And you don't become a sacred cow and you're not infallible because you put on a polyester uniform.

But at the same time, we also and I see this in the gun community, the pylon, you know.

So let's set it up for your audience who didn't see it.

I probably on the first day I had this video clip sent to me at least a dozen times.

By various people.

So in Meriden, M-E-R-I-D-E-N, Connecticut, cop gets dispatched in the middle of the day to a domestic violence call, right? Something's going on, domestic dispute.

So he pulls up, gets for the house, and he sees this very large white male, baby Huey looking mongoloid hitting somebody who's on the ground with a baseball bat, right? Right.

So officer jumps out of his car.

He's the only one there so far and he's can't wait for backup.

So he, he starts running up, pulls his gun out and he tells the guy to drop the bat and the guy ignores him.

And of course we're, we're getting this because they released the Axion body camera, you know? Right.

So he tells the guy to drop the bat, drop the bat and the dude that's on the ground.

Okay.

So.

Eventually the officer starts shooting, right? And he fires once twice, three times.

And he's, you know, he's shooting as he's closing distance on this guy.

He's not right up on him.

I mean, he's like across the, the front lawn when he starts shooting at this guy.

And eventually, uh, if you watch the body cam video and I have like a dozen times or more, um, from the first shot to the time that the guy with the baseball bat finally collapses is about nine seconds.
