From a story on the NYC Times Square shootout:
[Security footage] also showed Sergeant Newsom, who has been on the force for 17 years, raising his left arm over his chest in hopes of protecting his heart. It is a defensive move rookies are taught in the Police Academy.
I was under the impression that around sometime in the 80′s everybody came on board with Cooper’s teachings that dictated we use two hands when firing a gun and left that clenched fist over the heart shooting stance in the dust. I guess not.
If anybody with a background in LE training wants to expand on the subject I’m all ears.
Also interesting is that the writer fails a simple math check. 10 inch “clip” with 30 bullets … fires two shots … found the “clip” with 27 more bullets.
