Police shooting - Polish style
Following the Mark Duggan shooting thread I thought I post a police shooting from Poland.

![]() I think the cops were being mocked because they probably couldn't put one in his head if he was standing still at 10cms. away. |

I went through a phase of Paintballing and it's surprising how even good players will repeatedly miss at a distance of 6 feet (myself included)
You both miss with your fisrt shot and are recocking and both miss on the second. It's farcical sometimes. Then again, you can be 'killed' 30 seconds into a 30 minute game. War is horrible in real life. |

You think? They managed one in the leg from several feet away. Do you honestly think they 'missed' his torso?

Hmm.. I suspect 'fake news'. US can view Poles the same way as Brits and Irish. But how many shots do we hear? Not 15.. and in slowmo, it doesn't appear to show that either. The female officer did seem to switch her aimpoint from centre mass to the guy's legs though.

It would be interesting what would happen if this was in the UK, no doubt there would be investigations and the police officers would be suspended.
Sure there would be a media outcry with the victim on TV complaining about police brutality and some solicitor taking legal action. |

I did notice the long Mark Duggan thread here, but only dipped in an out and didn't post any comments.
I watched the BBC Panorama docu the other night and it did raise/re-iterate some disturbing questions. As an outsider, I can't tell what was the truth of what happened. |

Our top police firearms units are trained to special forces level as the SAS etc don't fancy being on camera when doing their work like at the embassy. The general thing is to shoot center of mass and neutralize them as quickly as possible or if they have the possibility of being able to flick a switch etc a double tap to the spine in the neck area to ensure no chance of being able to press it. |

Here is the Taiwan version over 50 shots to stop a car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCfXZfSH6Qk

I've always wondered why our highly trained police marksman do not shoot to disarm rather than kill |

Because perfectly shooting a weapon out of someone's hand first time is something that only happens in movies.

Given a police officer has to account for every action from drawing their weapon to actually firing a shot is why they're very rarely used as the paperwork must be massive for a firearms copper.

The general thing is to shoot center of mass and neutralize them as quickly as possible or if they have the possibility of being able to flick a switch etc a double tap to the spine in the neck area to ensure no chance of being able to press it. It's unclear why the officers didn't have some intermediate weapon between batons and firearms, like pepper spray or a tazer. Or maybe they had pepper sprayed him, who knows? What I think is perfectly clear is that the 'reporter' is talking rubbish, and that the officers were using warning shots to stop him coming closer to them, and they only shot him in the leg to stop him fleeing. |

Odd thought. Weather effects on tazers, ie cold=person bundled up in layers of clothing making it harder for darts to penetrate. At least here, the fashion for baggy trousers gives our officers a clear cheek to aim for.
[Edit] ..Ah, you meant odd thought about the tazer to the buttock.

The police do not shoot to kill in the UK, they shoot to 'stop'. The main body mass is targeted because it stops people (bullets pass through limbs and they can continue to pull the trigger or run) and it's easy to hit. Once the decision is made to stop that person, wether they die or not at that point is irrelevant. However, as soon as they are stopped the police must ceasefire and provide medical attention. |

![]() There is a video somewhere on YT where a marksman with a rifle did manage to shoot a pistol from a suspect's hands.. but that kind of trick shot is discouraged. Like MM says, the objective is to stop the aggressor. And there's also plenty of YT vids where a single or multiple pistol shots don't do that. |

Yes, ask anyone who has been involved in serious warfare in iraq etc - many soldiers have taken shots to arms and legs, or have shot enemies limbs, and were able to continue using their weapon to some degree. That leaves head and body.
This video is NSFW and GRAPHIC, contains scenes that most viewers should find disturbing- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEoMUu5frRQ UPDATE: The man in the white shirt was the head of Interpol in this region, and died of the wounds he received Both the robber and the officer continued to be a threat, despite having been shot. |
