not pulling it to Wing someone when you pull it you're shooting to kill Point shooting is the kind of firing you're likely to get into it's very close it's your hymn no aim speed counts more than accuracy the gun is simply shoved in the direction of the Target and fired you draw quickly Crouch point squeeze most perpetrators are right-handed and are not trained therefore when they fire at you their guns will jump slightly to your right and their bullets tend to pass over your right shoulder so before you get into your combat Crouch take a half step to your left sir stranger what happens if you run into a left-handed shooter who's been trained in that case Granger if you don't take a half step to your right you'll get a cops funeral with full honors [Music] we don't get no respect in

shadows across the street from a 24-hour market that had suffered three previous robberies the officers approached the suspect observed a bulge on the shirt with his Ascent they conducted a pat search the balls turned out to be a loaded 38 when he was jailed it was learned that he was out on bail on two armed Market robberies What charges can be filed but Neil no crime had been committed but he should have been charged with the felony Sanders correct except the judge decided that the defendant's constitutional rights had been violated that the the tension wrongfully invaded his privacy and week later the suspect turned up again at 2 am another Market only this time there were no officers to interrupt his rhythm he blew away the manager and the 17 year old checker up up on Romano that's Hollywood Romano up we go get the lead out hey let's go up and over and over you go let's go come on no no game without pay search and seizure lost still from yeah you gotta be a Supreme Court Justice

this Italian kid you remind me of them Ramana yeah they all look alike you wear a monogram shorts like Romano a mouth let's start to talk right kid eager to learn his first week out was his last he was in pursuit of a rape suspect and I wonder how much the kid's mind was concentrating on legalities how and when to tell the suspect to stop what it could properly say whether he could draw his weapon and alone at five o'clock in the morning but he could legally do next I wonder what legal rules are going through the suspect's mind when he pumped six point blank slugs into a police officer you Catholic Romano yes sir you know what I missed at the mass that they had for the kid laughing like they had a laughing against us of everything in English yeah what about doctors who make house calls repairman on how to fix things and ball players of hustle and boxers who get carried out of the ring instead of quitting because of stomach cramps and what about the death penalty for scum or

of Sergeant T.J hooker when do you expect a decision on that one a formal statement will be released tomorrow but the gist of it is that the shooting was deemed Justified however the officer involved will receive a reprimand and has already undergone stress in psychological counseling does that mean that Sergeant hooker is going to be permitted to go back to Street Duty oh we will we just wanted known that the District Attorney's office is not condone the quick trigger when other means will suffice so Deputy D.A Saxon seems confident of a conviction in the Palermo case and says that in a
