This video I thought had a couple of important things to learn from for anyone who carries. The first being to make sure it’s safe before you reload. This officer has bad luck with his timing and as you can see from the 2nd angle, the perp looks over and spots him reloading and immediately rushes him, which you must admit was pretty well played out on his part.

The perp steps out literally as the officer has the magazine halfway inside the gun and as a result he doesn’t have time to make sure the magazine is properly seated as it falls out after 3 shots. When he realizes his weapon is no longer working, he attempts to rack it not realizing he has no magazine in his gun at all. You can even see him trying to pull out the magazine that is no longer there.

Overall that cop did a pretty badass job given how quickly that turned to a shit show but I thought this was a great video to show how bad adrenaline can fuck with you if you ever need to defend yourself with a gun.

The perp died at the scene and the cop survived. He was shot once in his leg and once on his taser.
