Keep in mind how many police officers there are in the NYPD force and how many have EVER fired a weapon on duty. At first I was thinking, damn these guys need target practice, even posted that as my FB status, then I realized it’s not that simple. How many of you so called shooting experts were firing down range with a gun pulled on you and bullets flying past you? THAT makes a world of difference when it comes to hitting your target (and yes I know exactly what that is like). Get out of here with your logic :ahh Trying to bring up “duress” and the fact that it needs to be constantly trained for, as gun trainers all agree doesn’t agree with the holywood standard of good guys landing every shot one handing while rolling around. There is a video out of the incident too. Cops were firing at an extremely close range too. Many of the other injuries could be from ricochet too, although not sure how hollow points do in ricochet type situations. Last I heard none of the other people were seriously hurt. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/man-open-fires-at-empire-state-building/264846)._
