My reaction got a bit more understanding when I read the bit about the guys having killed someone hours ago but I would seriously prefer my police to not just loving spray rounds out of their moving vehicles

It won't damage the power of the round by a meaningful amount, but it does deflect the round up or down depending on whether you're shooting in or out.

Windshields are hard and take a good amount of energy to penetrate, and a hollowpointed round like carried by the police isn't going to make it through unscathed.. The much ballyhooed Teflon-coated cop-killer bullet, the KTW round, was a round invented by cops specifically to be able to reliably penetrate car windshields.

The test I read about suggested that bullets lose about 20-25% of their velocity going through a car windshield, which is very significant. Bullet deformation is also a concern, though apparently deflection is going to be less than 2 degrees, which is a lot less than I expected.

John 'Shrek' Mcgee, a former CAG dude who runs a firearms training company now does a video on it. His lesson is, 'yeah, a windshield will effect the round, not enough to matter.'

In through the windscreen, rounds deflect slightly down. Out, slightly up.

I do wonder why this is. It seems like it should be opposite, with the bullet hitting a curved surface with its top first causing it to deflect down.

I was thinking the same thing but I guess it tries to take the shortest path through the glass which is the opposite of the way the pane is angled.

It's totally cool and normal that US police kill an order of magnitude or two more people than most countries' cops. There's also no problem at all with US cops on average firing several times as many rounds per shooting, this is a sign of well trained and functioning police.

I don't think anyone, to include most cops, would argue that they get enough range time or realistic shooting practice. My point was that these were valid shoots, but we're still getting people talking about executions by government death squads in blue.

Sure, the individual shooting was probably technically legally valid. The underlying problem is that there are a bunch of poorly trained, trigger happy cops all over the place and more people than necessary are dying as a result. Even when a shooting was justified on paper there are usually less fatal alternatives - and the death rates at the hands of cops in other countries prove that out. That goes for countries with significant private rates of firearm ownership as well. American police are more likely to shoot someone, and tend to fire more bullets when they do. All of that adds up to more dead people in the streets.

You are missing the forest for the trees. That we would even be in a place where it's arguably acceptable for law enforcement to start wildly spraying bullets out of their cars with other people around shows how far off the deep end this conversation has gone.

The longer video of this shooting also shows the people in the SUV being pursued were shooting back at the cops during the chase, so more drastic action than normal may have been justified, though I'm not entirely convinced that the cop wasn't only willing to get so close because they had run out of ammo.

Remember when Dorner had the cops pissing their pants and some ladies were delivering newspapers in a similar looking truck to his and they put like a hundred rounds into it and somehow managed to not kill them?

I think that was the only one with Dorner. Cops have plenty of other opportunities to unload their guns on people not doing anything because they kinda think something looks threatening and their only response is "Fire as many rounds as possible while screaming, then insist there was nothing else you could do."

Shooting being ”justified” doesn’t mean it is ”necessary”. I’d rather the people flee than my kid getting hosed by a stray bullet. If cop can’t safely follow the car, don’t follow.

I'm betting that there's an awful lot of parked cars with extra bullet holes after that loving fiasco.

Which is better than people, or school kids.

You don't see the hit on video. It's entertaining because it's so unreal and unlikely. It's the kind of poo poo you'd expect from a Call of Duty game, not a real life thing that actually happened.

Maybe because I live in a country where my cops don't murder people on a regular basis it's a different thing for me. Our police defused a 'deranged gunman' situation by evacuating the area, driving a LAV through the wall of his house and hitting him with a flying tackle. That's just as baller and nobody died.
