    Cop shot and returns fire in routine traffic stop

    This high lights the potential danger to an officer in just a routine traffic stop.

    San Antonio cop is shot in the hand by driver during routine traffic stop but still manages to return fire and kill two suspects in truck.

    The police complainers should know what it's like to be a cop and experience the potential dangers they may face every day.

    "Chief William McManus said the driver and officer were having a 'casual conversation' for a couple minutes before the suspect fired without warning

    Police still don't know why the suspect open fired

    Two suspects, both men, were killed. A third passenger, a woman, was shot in the upper torso and was rushed to an area hospital

    This is San Antonio's second police-involved shooting in two days"

    Well, the officer obviously needs to be charged with homicide. After all, he killed them before they killed him.

      This is the dirty secret of it all....cops are keyed-up because there are so many guns on the streets. But they can't point that out without being called anti-gun.

      But, if the public demands that LEOs dial it back a bit to prevent civilian deaths, it wedges cops even further between a rock and a hard place.

          The person in the vehicle, who they assume could have a gun.



          They're not going to talk about potential perp guns raising the traffic stop threat index to their local (gun) dealer.

            they don't always assume like you do,,, sometimes they know,, (shows if you have a CCW on the license check)

            actually, the one's I was referring to were one's I had as internal security when I was in the Grocery biz,, and some I still chat with now and again since I went into the gun biz,

            they felt the same way then as now, part of the job, watch the person, be careful and be safe, and be prepared,

              But you're not a mind reader. He KNOWS the cops are against people having guns, because, well, he KNOWS.
