DC shooting

[Chuckman]

First of all, this is in Anacostia, off Malcolm X Avenue. That's called "a clue".

Second, watch the footage, see the speed of the encounter. This is why training is SO important. The whole thing happened and was over in, like, a nanosecond.

I watched it on YouTube and slowed it down. Pretty sure if I had been in the same situation as the officer, I’d have shot him also.

I can hear it already - "he was just trying to get rid of a toy and the cop didn't have to shoot him. they planted that gun in the grass and that wasn't what he had."

Justified.

Where was momma and daddy when they had guns and riding dirty?

yep. i actually do think he was in the process of throwing the gun. but how could anyone know in that instant? it was all sooooo fast!

Nice shootin' Tex.

What with ammo being scarce right now at least he didn't waste any, one shot, one kill.....

Good thing they slowed that video down because I'm still struggling to see how anyone could possibly throw a gun half that distance.....underhanded at that

It would be hard to know that he was slinging the gun and not drawing it to fire.
I’m so slow, I’d still be standing there as the gun went flying by.
Those where fantastic reflexes.

The camera had to have distorted that throw. It looks like he pitched that gun 100+ yards.

A Bersa .380 weight empty is 20 oz. not sure if he had that model or a 9mm. Dude had a long muscular arm.

From the parking lot, over the playground to the other side.....underhanded

So I watched the video in another thread (same video, but didnt watch the whole thing, just the shot)
Now seeing the whole thing thanks to @Wahoo95 and @gunbelt 's comments - holy cow he launched that thing. I agree with Curt, video must make it seem like further than it actually was, cause it looks like quite the distance.

I'd like to know how far that throw actually was.

i was trying to get 'bearings' on where the gun landed based on background inthe video when slowed....... does show it in his hand.

geeze though look at how far he left the ground too....

I haven't watched a video or read any articles...but I did see somebody in another thread say it was found 90’ away.

Weapon was found 90 feet from where he fell per an article I read yesterday.

It was the camera that made it look much further then.
