WA: Car reportedly shot near police range

#1

Post by seamusTX »

In the Seattle area, Monday, a car reportedly was shot near a police range. Part of the range is closed during the investigation.

I'm sure it was a coincidence.

Must be a coincidence, Jim. After all, I have always heard how cops were really good shots and could shoot a attacker in the leg just right to bring him down without causing any permanent injury, even a scar. They can also shoot the guns right out of people's hands without injuring the hand (other than some numbness from the shock). At least, that is what I see in the newspaper after any police shooting of a really good boy who made an honest mistake when he shot at the cop.

So there is no way the cops could miss the target, and the backstop, and hit a car by accident.

Once I got through my training, I just used my Jedi-cop mind powers to make the gun fly out of their hand. :mrgreen:

I saw Kojak shoot a bad guy off the roof of a tall building with his snubbie after the bad guy shot at him and missed with a bolt action with a scope.

Maybe the bullet was from outer space, "Mars Attacks!"

I'm teaching myself to curve the bullets. Keep getting thrown out of ranges for swinging my arm while shooting. Safety nuts.

You think cops would be better shots if they trained with donuts as targets? Get it through the hole, eat the target.
