Re: Video/Photos-Multi Shooting Near Empire State Building, US
Sure seems odd that the danger to the public came from the cops. While not intentional I am sure, there seems to be a large gap in understanding weapons and what they do. I'm sorry but on the surface this looks like a pair of rookies without a real clue about what you do in a crowd situation with a gunman. Action and reaction, well and good. Forethought? Not so much.
Were these 'NYC' finest ever in the battlefield and had that sort of training, one of the first things a machine gunner learns is that bullets are often more effective if you don't fire straight at the troops but rather doing ricochets off rocks and pebbles because you start getting those two-for-one shots. By the same training, artillery is more effective in the woods if you don't aim at the ground but at the trees. The flying splinters do mass damage compared to the shell itself.
But ricochet and its damage within a group isn't something these men considered, till after the fact. Not only that but to have taken 16 rounds for one man, isn't the mark of a marksman. It sounds more like the mark of some idiot thinking if they fire enough rounds they'll get him.
On the whole, poorly trained.
