“Minutes after law enforcement arrived, there was an officer-involved shooting, but no one was injured”

Some cop showed up and shot something he shouldn’t have and they don’t want to talk about it.

Thats the conclusion your dumb brain came to?

Cops didnt get him, Suspect ate his own bullets

u/Black6x Aug 03 '26

Officer involved shooting doesn't mean that the officer shot.

It means that there was a shooting, and that an officer was there in an official capacity.

They use this vague language when the officer shoots too, to the extent most people assume they are covering for a cop that did something stupid.

u/VCQB_ Aug 04 '26

Are people so stupid they need to be lectured on common sense?

u/WombatAnnihilator Aug 03 '26

Suspect self-checked-out the moment police got there and started popping off.

Ny post and other running photos of the armed civilian now 

u/Epstiendidntkillself Aug 02 '26

Once again, no photos and hardly a mention of the good guy with a gun that stopped this. Yes, someone got photos of him in action.

I've seen several.

There's video. He engaged the shooter and got return fire. Could have been the cops for all we know. Its risky to engage in these situations, cops or other CCW people may mistake a good guy for the shooter. But I'm glad he did it. It was ballsy and he probably saved lives.

The internet has figured out who it was, but NBC isn't smart enough to even pick up on that, because maybe they've fired all their talented reporters or something. Or they don't want anyone else to know...

In other news, _there's an In-N-Out in frakking Idaho now_‽

Game on.

As I’ve said before, In N Out have been all over the place, including Texas, for more than a decade.

u/TotallyRealAccount9 Aug 03 '26

Yeah this was their 4th location in that state

The gungrabbers hate it when civilians do a better job than the pigspolice.

u/joelfarris Aug 02 '26

The last stat I read, and this was maybe a year or so ago, was that in areas that didn't prohibit guns, citizens were stopping active shooters at a rate of 60-65% more than cops, and preventing way more deaths, because they were the actual first responders.

u/Lui_Le_Diamond Aug 03 '26

Cops are, and always have been, civilian QRFs.

u/Cbpowned Aug 02 '26

So you want cops shooting people when it’s convenient to your lunacy?

u/mrbobcyndaquil Aug 02 '26

That's not what I said at all.

u/threeg511 Aug 02 '26

What did you say? The bystander was there. The police were not but had just got the call at :29. The bystander took action the police could not because they weren't there yet. Bystander has gun. Also there was an off duty sherriff who supposedly took shots at the kid.

What exactly does that mean " the gungrabbers get hate it when the civilians do a better job of the pigs?" 🤷🏼

Be brave, but most importantly be honest with yourself. Tell us what you mean. It doesn't mean anything online unless someone other than you knows about it and what it means otherwise you just look like a whiny little child talking shit on the internet.

u/joelfarris Aug 02 '26

My eyebrows both went up.

And they're still up.

Also, 'sheriff' only has one 'r' in it. Don't worry, I make this mistake all the time, including when I typed the word just now and had to delete a letter. I wanted to be a deputy so badly, and I still can't even spell the office correctly.

u/mrbobcyndaquil Aug 02 '26

I was shitting on the media mostly. The same media that either worships police or demonizes police, switching at the tip of a hat.
