LVMPD pursued a murder suspect. Officers pursued the vehicle and shots were fired on them numerous times. Officer shoots out of his windshield several times and eventually into the vehicle. Thought of GTA when I saw this video. 

 

 

Intense, seemed a bit risky in the beginning but all in all the officer did good under stress.

Indeed. I probably wouldn't have shot through the windshield. A bit risky especially if he was in a residential area. Showed it to one of my former Law Enforcement friends and he shook his head and was like, "man he broke so much protocol" regarding the numerous shots he did, shooting in residential and driving, and luckily not being shot at when he reloaded his magazine. Lol. I wouldn't be able to say the same if I was in that situation. Just glad they caught the other perp that was with them (guessing driver from what it appears like when the officer came out. 

I can applaud him for his dedication.  I truly am happy for officer's who really want to get shit bags like this off the streets, however, shooting from a moving vehicle at all is a no no.

 

 I am immediately reminded of this case.  It easily could've been a story about how a bullet from the officer killed a child.  - https://abcnews.go.com/US/year-girl-killed-stray-gunfire-inside-jersey-home/story?id=56644773

Indeed. Just glad no one got hurt especially with the suspects shooting at the officers with all the other pedestrians around. I wonder what the suspects actually hit. 

So when i post awesome fatal OIS shootings they get removed, but since this one is action packed and cool and the passenger dies off camera it's perfectly fine?. Lol, damn the moderation team hates me. 🤣 , awesome work by this officer however. Radio communication, dodging vehicles and incoming fire , stays with the suspect vehicle and neutralizes the armed passenger. Did you guys see how insanely fast the driver got out?. Literally before the SUV hit the wall he was already half way up the stairs. Fast bugga'.

According to the Assistant Chief of the LVMPD, officers are allowed to fire from their vehicles if there is an imminent threat to human life, and they can't shoot to disable the vehicle, they have to shoot at the driver.

I will be very honest about your friend. he seems to care more about how much "Protocol" was broken even though I'm going to assume he has no knowledge of the LVMPDs Protocols. An LEO and Firearms expert/trainer said "this officer did fantastic, instead of firing out the window he used his DOMINANT hand and fired from the windshield at the suspects and the second they stopped he may have had a set back while reload but once he finished he got back in it and continued to put down fire until the threat was eliminated." quote isnt exact but I can locate the video and post here. In a situation like that you wouldn't be worrying about "protocol" but the safety of yourself, officers, and civilians around you.

That's the unfortunate reality of these kind of situations. my friend's father was with the LVMPD and the Protocol is the if a pursuit happens you are to get the plate and break off, or a helo will follow it. BUT situations involving police shootings or a murder suspect are different and pursuits have to be made. there have been cases of a stray round hitting a civilian but the execution and how he properly handled his weapon shows that he knew what he was doing. For instance instead of firing from his left hand out the window, he used his DOMINANT hand and got closer to get good shots off on them. This also is an experienced officer (Notice his stripes) and shows. Also an LEO and Firearms expert/trainer said that this officer did a fantastic job and I'm glad no one was hurt except that suspect that was shooting at police. Last thing LVMPD protocol allows them to fire from a vehicle if they are in danger or others around them. Should also mention the LVMPD are trained like SWAT and know how to fight, they are one of the most demanding and professional police departments in the US and it shows.

Well he was a Lieutenant at our local police department and retired after 30+ years on the force. You are indeed correct though about him not knowing about LVMPD protocol, and was just basing it on his training, granted we have a way smaller police department. I do agree that the officer did a great job and he also noted how many stripes he had on his sleeve, so he knew that the officer had at least 12+ years of experience from what he told me (not sure if that is accurate). Thanks for the information and update on their protocol, as that is always good to acknowledge, because it can vary from department to department.

Oh no of course protocol changes with department, and yes that officer has alot of years of experience (like you said the stripes) but yeah this officer did a splendid job. I'll be honest I wasn't expecting these forums to be so...monday quarterbacking here and alot of them being for certain places in europe that dont understand american law enforcement. I studied American, Canadian, Mexican, and UK Law Enforcement. But the amount of people on here that say "They can't do that" or "well my Police do it better" urks the hell out of me.

Not intending to do that at all. I applaud with what he did, but also realize that there could've been so much that could've gone wrong and I just got a law enforcement perspective into it since I don't have that actual LEO experience. Never claimed that they do much better where I'm at lol. Heck I could give you my opinion on our's but they wouldn't like it lol j/k (they are good people and help us out in our job a lot and I've gotten to know quite a few of them here!)

Of course I agree, something could of gone wrong, anything is possible but thankfully the only ones harmed was suspect shooting at police and nobody else and thats thanks to that officers amazing training. We all can have our own opinion with or without experience not saying yours is less because you dont have it. I  agree with ya, I know alot of LEOs and they are fantastic guys to be around and tell some really great stories, its a shame that places that dont understand what they go through judge them so harshly and say they'll literally shoot anything.

 

I was at work when this happened, this all was in the same area as my work. If you see that Lowe's on Charleston, I work at LV.Net and that Lowes's is in the same parking lot as my work. I was in the area of the shootout when it happened

Wow crazy.

This officer's head gotta hurt like hell. Back in military training (way way back) we had to fire a round in a confined space, just one to get the feeling. It, umm, tough on the head and ears, no joke. And he fired several! Damn, he's tough.
