Body Cameras for Police Work, Mostly : A Glock At Work

This video was sent to me by a former police officer from the Midwest that believes body cams work, mostly for the good - this is a little graphic but non the less, informative.

(Author unknown)
This is a video from a police officer-worn body camera.  It takes place in a restaurant where the male officer wearing the camera approaches a theft suspect in the restroom of the restaurant and asks him to step outside.

The male officer leads the suspect outside while a female officer escorts the suspect from behind.  Once outside, the suspect pulls a gun and the male officer does what he is trained to do.  Nice shooting. Police involved shooting - you won't see this on the news .This is just what our survival shooting instructors taught us to do 30+ years  Ago, you shoot and you keep shooting until you have neutralized the threat.  Timed...and he gets off 13 shots in five seconds, hand as steady as a rock!12 of the shots hit the perp! This shows the value of officer- worn video cameras.

This video shows just how fast it can happen out there. The female officer never got a round off. If you don't want to see a perp getting what is coming to him, don't watch. It’s a Glock semi-automatic pistol doing what a Glock is designed to do!
