[quote][B]UPDATE 1.20pm: A POLICEMAN has opened fire at the driver of an allegedly stolen car who drove at him before escaping this morning.[/B] Police say the officers approached an alleged stolen car about 10.45am, which was parked on Terell Crt, Roxburgh Park, to speak to the driver who was sitting inside. It’s alleged the man started the engine and began revving it, resulting in the police officer smashing a window. Another police officer drew his gun when the driver allegedly drove at him. He then shot a round from his revolver which it is believed hit the vehicle before the driver performed a U-turn and allegedly drove at the unmanned and unmarked police car, veering off moments before impact. The officers chased the man in their unmarked vehicle, but lost him the vicinity of Terell Court.[/quote] Holy fuck, now I know why this helicopter was cruising over the school for a while, going in circles around it. First two women get stalked and threatened to be stabbed unless they got in the guys car a few hundred metres away from my house, and then another person got hit by a train at Roxburgh Park Station, now this? Holy. Fuck. My school is right near that area.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;32017808]Cops still use Revolvers?[/QUOTE] In Australia they do
I was under the impression that cops all used semi-automatics now because they're quicker to reload and have larger magazines.
But that means they can kill people quicker. Killing people quickly is banned in Australia.
Revolver's suck for law enforcement.

I imagined the entire article as gameplay from GTA IV.

Article is Australian, OP is American. Proxy? Revolvers are fucking badass btw. Update on the article: Dude ran away. Cops are still looking for him.
I'm a melbournian, but I think posting on PC then editing on iOS screws it up. Im on my iPad right now...
