I mean filling there quota).

Either way you have to factor in the fact that many large city PD's are full of people who've never held a gun until they joined the force. Then factor in nerves, adrenaline, and moving targets, and thats probably why it is so low. The moorhead one sounds like 20 shots TOTAL were fired...which means he shot at them and they shot back. So this shootout has at least a 10% hitrate by the PD, higher than the national average if all 20 were fired by the MPD, since he fired some though, the hit rate is higher. Still nothing to go home and brag about, but better than the naional average.

The Red River Valley SWAT team also outperforms SWAT teams like the LA and Dallas SWAT in competitons too. So we do have above par police up here...

The national hit percentage for police in shootouts is something like 9%...So for every 100 shots fired, only 9 hit their intended target.

That makes me feel really safe, we were talking about this last night with a couple ppl that were set up at our gun show, I sure hope that i'm never in the area with ppl that are that bad of an aim... That's probably worse than the gangbangers hit percentage... Seriously it's not that fucking hard to hit a person in the majority of those situations... I'd be pretty pissed if I missed 9% of the time...

The story I got from the guys who were there is that he kidnapped the girl, brought her behind Mac's to rape her. She somehow got away from him and ran to the back door of the store and started banging on it trying to get in. The two guys there KC and Greg let her in and he followed, he started pushing Greg, no gun was evident, when Greg started going WTF that when he pulled the gun. Our stores have floor safes and he bent over to get the cash and the chick booted him in the face, so he tackled her then pistol whipped her a couple of times then saw that the cops were coming and took off. On a side note they hit the panic button, and the cops were there before the security company called to ask if everything was OK.

KC was working... sounds like i'm gonna have to ask him about it... I also heard that there was quite a few shots...and the fucker lived... sounds like some cops cant hit shit, at least down here when the cops shoot someone, the guy isnt going to jail, they're dead...

Needless to say he'll have a lot of time to think about it..but i was readin this article about prisoners, and some are just so accustomed to that type of lifestyle, that getting freed isnt necessarily the best option for them, so theyll do something intentional to try to go back to jail

Pfft, Fargo ain't nothin to be afraid of.

I've had three friends killed over the course of the last 4 years over bullshit arguments caused by ex-girlfriends down here.

Lord knows how many friends of mine have had stuff stolen out of the car or garage.

Fargo is pretty chill.

She got stopped, then started getting waved through. Right as she starts moving the cops jump out of their cars and pull out their guns. She stops and then shots start getting fired at the cops and they return fire. Eventually the cops went running after the guy and she took off. She called me in a fit and I had to decipher what happened and make sure she was ok. She calmed down when she got home.

Messed up stuff... and to think ill be moving to North Minneapolis for the summer.
