- lolwaffle, on 11/03/2008, -9/+59Which piece?
- stretch611, on 03/31/2008, -6/+55Where was Hillary?!?
- inactive, on 03/31/2008, -3/+51OMG - I totally forgot I saw this on TV ten years ago.
- Coestar, on 03/31/2008, -35/+77Was it really necessary to tackle him into a near backflip as he sat there, bewildered?
- Malovech, on 03/31/2008, -0/+38In a situation like that where you have no clue what this guy is going to do next - yes. It seemed pretty rough, but the police had to move quickly and things aren't very gentle when you move that fast.
- wraptor347, on 03/31/2008, -8/+41He was reaching for his gun...
- eliburford, on 03/31/2008, -2/+29To take this argument further, I don't think anyone knew at the time that the gun was in three or more pieces.
- weeeezzll, on 03/31/2008, -0/+26... or that he didn't have some other weapon. For all they knew, he could have easily had another gun, or even a knife. When you are dealing with someone who is as unstable as this guy was, you never know what to expect. The cops did any amazing job in this situation. Every other ending can imagine only turns out worse.

Can I bury this as a dupe now? Yeah, thought so. - iXneonXi, on 03/31/2008, -1/+17Digg, the Internet Time Machine.
- robotto, on 03/31/2008, -1/+16I love it when they hang that gun on the wall, like a trophy.
- gianttoolbox11, on 03/31/2008, -0/+14It's cool that even the suicidal guy can appreciate the shot after the fact.
- Erythroxylum, on 03/31/2008, -7/+21It made the clip better, so yeah, it was absolutely necessary. They should've put the boot in too for good measure.
- Harbinger67, on 03/31/2008, -1/+14I would hope so. All that moose and beaver hunting they do has gotta count for something.
- usingpond, on 03/31/2008, -0/+13ahah Wow. That sniper looks and talks exactly like a sniper would. He looks like a combination of Solid Snake and Lou Reed.
- po43292, on 03/31/2008, -0/+12Probably at the White House being first lady, eating dinner alone waiting for Bill who said he'd be down any minute.
- spyrochaete, on 03/31/2008, -1/+13Are you thinking of the Canadian sniper who broke the record in Afghanistan in 2003?
- Jeffler, on 03/31/2008, -1/+12Awesome with a tint of badass.
- sovietninja, on 03/31/2008, -1/+12Ur the noob, deep impact is only good for shooting through walls. Definitely using iron lungs to stabilize the scope and stopping power to make sure it broke the gun.
- typicalusername, on 03/31/2008, -4/+14Abso-*****-lutely it was necessary. Might as well give him a shinner too for ruining someone's perfectly good morning!
- lamiaconfitor, on 03/31/2008, -1/+11It has more to do with inertia, you aren't going to 'slowly' get to the guy, are you? no, so when you apprehend him, you transfer that energy. its not a f'ng pillow fight, you are trying to prevent a tragedy.
- charman2k6, on 03/31/2008, -4/+14It was actually a Canuck. In fact, Canadians have the best snipers in the world.
- rodrigo74, on 03/31/2008, -0/+10It was 2:55 AM in the White House, she was fast asleep.
- MasterThief117, on 03/31/2008, -0/+10This video is so old, it was an example video for the release of the Internet.
- DD00, on 03/31/2008, -2/+12Yes it was. I'm one of you who complains about the stupid police violence daily, but for once they actually have a reason to tackle someone. Sorry, but the guy had a gun and he was threatening to at least kill himself. They aren't going to just stroll on in and ask him to lay down. He could have another weapon on him or pickup the gun fast, they don't know if it's working or not.
Point being, if you don't want to get tackled by police don't sit in the street with a gun and threaten to kill anyone. - craighoxton, on 03/31/2008, -0/+9ACOG SCOPE UNLOCKED
- mrASSMAN, on 03/31/2008, -2/+11Those didn't make the front page, this one did. Almost all front page stories have multiple submissions. Some stories get over 100 duplicates (esp. "breaking news"), but if only one makes the FP, there's no reason to bury it.
- inactive, on 03/31/2008, -0/+9Don't know if this is what you are talking about...
http://www.macleans.ca/canada/national/article.jsp ... - defy, on 03/31/2008, -0/+9I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters.
- Torx, on 03/31/2008, -2/+10Darwin didn't win this time?
- tektalk, on 03/31/2008, -0/+8Even though this video is a repost, I still find that sniper's shot to be amazing.
- bicyclethief, on 03/31/2008, -1/+8She fired the second shot from the grassy knoll.
- usingpond, on 03/31/2008, -1/+8Thank you, Internet tough guy!
- fuhcough, on 03/31/2008, -0/+7buried for calling them dancers. they clearly were dirty whores.
- mrASSMAN, on 03/31/2008, -1/+7Really? You're not going to give them credit for saving the man's life? I guess some people just hate cops no matter what they do..
- whxre, on 03/31/2008, -0/+6Can't see her, she was taking an evasive maneuver.
- cawpin, on 03/31/2008, -1/+7Oh, sorry. You want the ones that made the front page?

I'm so sorry they weren't in the results of my first search. - etgryphon, on 03/31/2008, -1/+7I agree. The police shooter was, if i remember correctly, at about 75-85 yards. The revolver cylinder is about an inch or more in diameter. A good hi-power rifle is supposed to shoot AT LEAST 0.5 MOA so he had some room for play. Not a shot that just anyone can make and makes for great TV and a great outcome for a dangerous situation. Only an above average shot as long range shots go.
- AnimeCwboy, on 03/31/2008, -2/+8i remember this on Spike
- petebert, on 03/31/2008, -0/+6I'm guessing you people have never watched any of Spikes ZOMG! Amazing police videos before
- HalfGiraffe, on 03/31/2008, -2/+7I dunno, the cowboys used to do this with a six-gun fired from the hip while jumping off their horse after drinking a bottle of red-eye and waving to the dancers at the local saloon.
- mrASSMAN, on 03/31/2008, -0/+5because it isn't a solid object, it absorbed the impact by way of breaking into pieces.
/physics - bicyclethief, on 03/31/2008, -1/+6epic lame
- Spuy767, on 03/31/2008, -0/+5Mmmmmm, Chicken. I think you may mean "foul."
- jlakser49, on 03/31/2008, -0/+5dugg for the guy looking up at the cop and saying "that was a great shot"
- Raphyy, on 03/31/2008, -1/+6If the man himself admitted that it was great shot, who am I to say it wasn't.
