By the hostage taker or police crossfire?

Wtf? Hazard pay and life insurance needs to go way up next contract.

This is why I packed heat anyway. your company policy.

Why were the cops shooting into the ups truck?

Why were the cops shooting into the ups truck?

Because when the suspect got cornered in traffic he got out of the driver seat and looked like he was about to take the driver hostage in the cab so they opened fire. But of course the ups driver got killed and the suspect is alive. I was watching it live on the news here.

I did the same.

the UPS policy

News says 2 suspects dead, UPS driver condition unknown?

 

[Moneythehardway]

I'm down here locally. The Ups driver is dead

 

[sailfish]

The Ups driver is dead

By the cops or the suspect?

By the cops or the suspect?

It was hard to see from the choppers camera angle. But the police did offload a lot of rounds into the truck. I'm guessing the police but don't know for sure

Imagine my surprise if it is. Police murdering the hostage? No way! How many of them firing on the truck at once yet can't even hit the right guy. Probably won't even be held accountable. The UPS driver would've had a better chance trying to take the suspect himself. He's dead now anyway.

I mean, why is the broad side of the truck being shot up? For 's sake.

 

[Packmule]

Retired now, but last few years hearing about this kind of stuff was why I felt all UPS drivers should have had the right to concealed carry. Might have turned out differently.

Why don't you become an LEO?

Could teach the rest how to do it.

 

[sailfish]

Why don't you become an LEO?

Because I'm not about to enforce the will of the state or put my life on the line for the protection of strangers.

Could teach the rest how to do it.

I guarantee I could. I outscore local yokels here in IDPA scoring all the time including a certain Florida police academy instructor.

Very altruistic of you. Put your "skills" to good use.

Should the day come I will. For me or mine. I'd prefer not to make a professional living out of getting up in other people's business.

Why I agree you shouldn't be shooting into the truck while a hostage is in there but once the suspect opens fire they really have no choice.
