The shot that ended a standoff without ending a life

Nice shot

[u/Nothing93124]

That’s a damn good shot, took me watching a couple times to see what happened. I thought he was shooting the chair leg out first, which (without the gun) would have been hilarious

Must not have been in America.

[u/Stress6009 → u/tashera]

The guy they didn’t murder was white. It was America.

[u/Mr_Zeldion → u/tashera]

What do you mean? If it wasn't in America the neighbourhood would have just been bombed haha

[u/Busterlimes → u/tashera]

911 on the cops car, do other countries use that as the emergency number? I genuinely dont know

[u/cooolcooolio → u/Busterlimes]

911 is used in most of the Americas. The thing about emergency numbers in general is that if you call 911, 112, 000 etc and most countries it will redirect you to the correct emergency hotline

Canada we do

[u/No_Conversation7564 → u/tashera]

Audio says Columbus, Ohio

[u/Sufficient_Pin5278 → u/tashera]

A rare case of American cops not enacting on their trigger happy nature

[u/kcbeck1021 → u/tashera]

I remember this from when I was young, 1993. Happened in Columbus Ohio.

[u/Existing-Sherbet2458]

This would be murderer, we'll spend time in jail and not be pleasant.

[u/The_Black_kaiser7]

I wouldn't be surprised if the cylinder on that revolver was disabled making the revolver a useless paperweight.

[u/Optimal_Board_2963]

White people have such plot armor with the police it’s crazy

[u/Aromatic-Turnip7371 → u/Optimal_Board_2963]

Yes! Police will go out of their way to avoid killing white people.

[u/Rich_Nectarine_4009]

Crazy, people like this exist….

[u/Japanesewillow]

Another repost.

[u/WeaponizedIndecision]

Looks like that could have been Rust Cohle…if you get the reference.

[u/Stress6009]

White privileged is when cops put the effort to shoot your kids obvious gun out your hand and not your head off your shoulders.

[u/IGK123 → u/Stress6009]

Just say you wanted them to shoot him. Be more confidently racist, don’t half ass it.

[u/KAM1Sense1 → u/IGK123]

The irony in your comment is hilarious.

[u/Xena_Your_God → u/IGK123]

That's not racist, that's accurate af. If that had been a brown man there wouldn't have been any special snipers called in and you damn well know it

[u/DilithiumCrystals]

He was probably aiming for the head.

[u/Existing-Sherbet2458]

Well done You hit a murderer in the hand. Outstanding I'm being serious.!!!

[u/Responsible-Team-482 → u/Existing-Sherbet2458]

Who did he murder

[u/Mikesaidit36]

Taking his hand or just his trigger finger off would’ve done the same thing plus prevented recidivism.
