Reading the article in the ODT about the shooting in Waihi:
The 'eye-witness' said he 'believed the man was about to give himself up' (after getting out of a van and pointing a rifle at police, the same rifle he had been firing at police during a pursuit).
Mr Nilsson turned his back 'for a split second' when he heard a single shot.
How do the media find these people???

Personally, I want to know why the cop in question didn't wait until he'd raised the rifle to his eye, and then headshot him through the telescopic sight.
Don't police officers get any training these days?

One, two free, floor!
Maybe they get too much... who knows - but they need to watch more good movies to see how that's done.Originally Posted by jrandom

Meh, we've all watched Mythbusters and know that trick doesn't actually work

They should've shot the prick in the head - he'd be less of a drain on society than he is now.

FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

Should have tried to talk him out of it. using force is never the answer....

Rent a crowd, put words in their mouth so it can be reported in the first instance, better headlines.
The sniper shot in 'Saving Private Ryan' worked pretty good, but that's the movies.

Fine, then the cop should have used the "single shot with a pistol taken while running untouched through a hail of bullets, resulting in bad guy toppling, unmarked but apparently dead, from an overhead walkway" technique.
Although I'm not too sure how well it works when the bad guy isn't on an overhead walkway.

I thought I might have provoked a comment along the lines of: 'Just like the Christchurch shooting, the guy was doing nothing and they just shot him' kind of thing.
I guess KBers ain't that bad (or dumb)after all.
(Waits for one to prove me wrong)

Personally I want to know why the police didn't take him out after the first shots the prick took
and not forgetting the Starsky & Hutch manouver over the bonet

Nah, I think we're over it now,
there's too many dipshits committing violence all over the place.
A few need erradicating, the mortal can't multiply.

Because he was in a van which was probably swerving all over the road at high speed, and, once again, the cops obviously hadn't seen the "several hundred rounds fired from an automatic weapon out the window, all of which vanish into thin air without either making ineffectual holes in the panels of the bad guy's car or splattering bystanders within a 400m radius" training film.
I'm starting to suspect that the NZ Police weapons training programme might be in need of a major overhaul.
