> Look, the guy was one-man SWAT op. He had people inside a dark box with one or two narrow exits, threw some gas in there, and then came in firing, while fully armored and wearing a gas mask. A pro wouldn’t be able to do anything in this situation other than maybe tackle him if he was sitting close enough and before the gas makes him as useless as anybody else. That’s how terrorists and hostage-tackers get taken out, and they are armed themselves. Would any one of us feel better about having a gun in that situation? Probably. Would it help? Most likely not unless you plan on also carrying a gas mask yourself, along with a bullet-proof vest.

A pro would have shot him in the the head

And armor does not make you impervious to gunfire, even if the bullet doesnt penetrate the armor I can 100% guarantee it still is incredibly painful. Many innocents would have escaped, lives would have been saved. Now que Vlads “do you want to be a hero” argument so we can go down that avenue of swill.
