Officer runs towards gun fire to save woman - General

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;50786683]He was brave in a way the pizza delivery guy is brave delivering pizzas to unknown people's homes, sure.

[QUOTE=Quark:;50787791]would you be so naive to say that a pizza delivery boy's job is on par with a police officer's job, danger-wise? really? hahaha[/QUOTE] Of course not. But I can see this thread devolving into another dumbass argument over this.

[QUOTE=Anderan;50782581]Tbh the most he'll probably get is the next day off as "personal time" due to the stress of the incident, if he chooses to take it. The other officers involved in the incident could probably do the same.[/QUOTE] He'll probably get a plaque, more than likely [editline]28th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Bat-shit;50786683]He was brave in a way the pizza delivery guy is brave delivering pizzas to unknown people's homes, sure.

A guy kept ordering pizzas late at night and robbing the delivery guys. After the second time, when they got a third order (Days apart these orders) using the same address, the pizza joint called the police. Two officers show up, put on the delivery guy uniforms over their police uniforms (Without the gun belt) And drive the delivery guy's car to the address. They had their guns in hand under the bags the pizzas were in ready to go (They were basically going to kill the guy if he attempted to rob them with a weapon. Fleeing felon law was still alive and well, and also, you don't point a gun at police officers), but when they started walking, they heard rustling in some bushes where the guy who was going to rob the delivery driver ran off. They think their shiny shoes tipped him off and it's why he decided to run Anyway, in response to your post, Delivery driver opted not to go into danger, but the police did

You compared the job of being a police officer, a job where you will be shot at (Regularly depending on where you live), to the job of a pizza boy, where you meet strangers on a regular bases.

[editline]29th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Glitchman;50791453]I'm pretty sure moist cops never in their entire careers get into this situation.[/QUOTE] Probably not but I can guarantee you that a pizza boy will never be shot at and never be put into a situation where he would drag a person whose been shot through gunfire to safety, or be expected to do so.

Some guy in this thread said that police officers risk their lives by simply going to work every day. And responding to each and every call is also risking their life. Wouldn't this same apply to a pizza delivery boy? Yes it would, so saying this overly heroic bullshit rhetoric like that to make yourself feel better about your police is ridiculous, and frankly I will object it.

Cops die every day from filthy criminals shooting them in the face for doing their jobs. "License and registration" and boom, the cop could be dying on the asphalt because someone didn't feel like doing that and instead wanted to commit murder. They don't know if the person they've just pulled over is going to pull out a gun on a whim and shoot because they have a personal vendetta against officers.[/QUOTE] Comparably deluded if you ask me. Of course the risk to reward ratio is bigger in a cop's line of duty, not the point. The point was over-crediting the cop and glorifying his actions too much. I bet he doesn't even know how to properly give first-aid if it was asked of him.

Just learn to appreciate what the man did and let it go

I do believe me, I even listed all the things you did as well. But I still didn't see him running [I]directly[/I] towards gun fire, as the title would put it. First there were multiple shots fired before the officer had even arrived at the scene. And then three or four shots fired by the time the officer had already dragged the injured woman to the neighbor's property. That's it.. :surrender:

Shots had been fired not a minute earlier. The shooter had not been located yet, and the cop runs forward to drag the woman to safety. Sorry that doesn't meet your standards for heroism, but it sounds like a pretty scary situation to me. [editline]30th July 2016[/editline] And you have the audacity to criticize them for "probably not being able to render proper first aid." Cops aren't EMTs or paramedics. They're cops.

[editline]30th July 2016[/editline] "well if you look at it, the cop was running a little to the left of the incoming gunfire to save that woman, so it's not really heroic at all actually.

No but honestly, get shot at in real life and you'll realize that even one or two shots in your direction is an unbelievably scary thing, especially when you're in a fucking neighborhood and not in the middle of bumfuckistan. Human beings are resilient but it takes exactly ONE shot to kill or severely injure you, braving that kind of mortal peril to save others is worthy of recognition.

I'm sorry this doesn't meet my standards for running [I]directly[/I] towards gun fire. It isn't about heroism, everything about it was heroic to begin with. And scary as fuck. As for the first-aid, cops are trained for that during the academy btw. As should most people be in pretty much any workplace, but it's really just the basics and not to a very high level, and it may vary between states, and departments, and the job. I'm sure the officer actually knows how to give first-aid to some extent, as do I. Not sure about you though.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;50801688]In the sense that they both respond to calls without certainty if it's a death trap, maybe.

I was a pizza delivery driver for two years and was never so much as threatened.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;50801688] Nice of you to notice it too how the officer went a little to the left, in the relative safety between a car and the garage. And sorry for the thread now, seriously.[/QUOTE] 'relative safety' Relative to what exactly, this isn't an action movie, there's a reason he didn't just drag her behind the car and use it as cover, because it isn't cover. Most bullets (bar .22 and rounds specifically designed not to penetrate) can cut through the majority of modern cars like butter (except for the engine block), not to mention the massive space beneath the wheels that a shooter can use to pinpoint your position and shoot you. I hazard a guess to say that the guy shooting at the cop was using 9mm, guess which round is the most infamous for over-penetration? I'd hate to see you in a firefight, you seem to have a vast misunderstanding of just how destructive and effective modern weaponry is. It's also kind of funny as to the vast ignorance you have over the general situation, a police officer responds to developing and escalating situations in which the law is being actively broken or is about to; a pizza delivery boy drives to a pre-determined location with maybe 20$ of cash on hand and delivers food. These situations are so utterly different that you have to be either incredibly paranoid or simply suffer from crippling pessimism to think they're one in the same.

Quit while you're behind. [editline]30th July 2016[/editline] I really don't see why you're so vested in tearing other people down. Projection maybe?

Sexual frustration probably. But dude facts matter and it isn't about tearing people down, why do some of you insist on re-telling and referring to the events exactly like it was an action movie? Is entering an active crime scene and taking some decisive action "running towards gun fire" now? And ntzu, of course car isn't the best cover. Far from it. I find it funny how you immediately assumed I didn't have that in my consideration. I know exactly how destructive firearms are, and what they do to a car. (Thanks Mythbusters.) [editline]31st July 2016[/editline] Forget the pizza delivery boys, but this officer probably just saw a window of opportunity and took it like a champ. The camera was even tilted downwards pretty much the entire time, before and after, so again he had a much better sense of what's going on and determining the safety of his actions than we do. Or am I a fool for even thinking this way then? And all this basically for a thread title I didn't like. Now it's time for me to stop post.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;50783072]I don't get it. Not saying this to you, but the cop's performance was great, he saved a woman, assisted some children, stood guard and generally acted according to the protocol I'm sure. That's great. However, it's not like the cop literally ran head first into a volley of gunfire to save somebody, with bullets going so close to his head he gets a free shave and a haircut.[/QUOTE] Literally every thread with good news...

[editline]31st July 2016[/editline] Dood give up. Youve dug a hole for yourself and youre not climbing out. If i could buy you a title so everyone could recognize your dipshittedness i would.
