Police Shootout on Video

My question is, why didn't these two officers who are exchanging gunfire shoot the propane tanks? I mean, I've seen videos on youtube of what happens if you shoot a propane tank and it wouldn't have been pretty. Either way, they killed the gunman.

Wow... really? You have gamer-tardation. That's where you start to think and do things in the real world based on what you do when playing video games regardless of the consequences.

Remember who you're dealing with here, Marcus.

Thats exactly it. There's a disconnect between reality and fantasy.
 
The explosion might have taken out the gunman, however the metal fragments of the tank would act as shrapnel and would shred the cops, the camera crew, and anyone who was unfortunate enough to be nearby.

Nah. I've shot and destroyed many propane tanks in my day. Unless you've got them sitting in a fire, they don't really explode like that. Even in a fire, they just shoot out like a rocket. Since these were strapped to the trailer, I doubt it would've done anything at all. Puncture and leak most likely. (unless it somehow made a spark, but this isn't Hollywood)
 
I didn't see any graphic content in that video. All very fam-friendly.

It's all good. They would simply need to find a health pack and their strength would jump right back up to near 100%. Plus, don't you get extra points for killing the bad guy in creative ways?

Reputation given. Hilarious.
 
Why in the hell would they blow the propane tanks and endanger who knows how many others?

Like who? People walking their dogs across the street? I'll assume that the police had the area locked down. Now, if the police showed up and started shooting like crazy at propane tanks etc, I'd agree with you. There was obviously a police lock down. I don't think kids are going to be playing around the neighborhood after the deputy was already shot earlier. It looks to me a news camera recorded the standoff. I mean, it's possible there were other people around, but I'm betting the police got people out of the way and off the streets.

Anyways, I agree with you. When I made my post, I was reacting to what I thought I would do or what they could have done. Strictly armature. There's one dude using an assault carbine (wouldn't that be putting other people in danger just as much?) and another dude shooting a pistol at a metal trailer. If they thought other people were inside the trailer, would they use a carbine to penetrate? They both aren't in great cover (probably the reason the officer gets tagged by blind fire.) I was just thinking if they shot the propane tank, maybe it would cause a distraction or startle the shooter so they could get better cover or a better angel. But like I said in my first post, they got the job done so props to them.

I'm glad that the rant-buddy party cares more about personal attacks, knocks, or grammar than commenting on the video.


-Thanks, dudes


Have a great new year and I hope you start the new year off with a great day at work or whatever you do.

Never change Archie. Please.
 
I see nothing wrong with the video. It doesn't celebrate the death of an officer. These types of things are on the headlines
of Yahoo news every day. sad story, but this is news. it's like the 9-11 shots we watched over and over or the gory shots from war.
Lots of us like to see what really happens out there good or bad. These shots are intense, and I found myself glued to it.
