Police are calling the technology a game changer.
Neva’ been done befo’! anyone? hehe
The camera system they use is the Taser AXON. Definitely an interesting concept, cameras on police officers. That wouldn’t be a job i’d ever want because you obviously deal with a lot of scumbags, and you would have to restrain yourself. With these cameras on and recording, they must be in court non-stop.
Anyone that’s with a police force that has cameras want to weigh in?
The video shows Rodriguez raising a pipe toward a police officer. Two officers open fire – first five rounds, and then the second officer fires five more.

The police are villainized whenever they shoot someone, by one group or another and i’m really getting sick of the lethal force vs less than lethal force complaining. “Did they have to kill the guy?”. Well… they tried to use a Taser and that didn’t work, he came after them with the pipe so they shot him DEAD. End of discussion if you ask me. Frankly, the whole Taser thing is just a gift to criminals anyway. Nowadays you can do stuff you would have been shot for back in the day, but instead get zapped and the worst of it is you might shit your pants and go to jail.
Thoughts?

I don’t know “less lethal” ammunition, but that sounded really weak. The taser, who knows? that sounded real. The pepper spray looked like one of those dollar store ones, which no doubt wouldn’t be a walk in the park… but probably not as bad as what military/law enforcement train with.
In the description of the video he says:
In case you’re wondering about the shotgun, its quite due to the fact that it has over 50 inches of barrel! It sounds suppressed when you fire a light field load or in this case rubber buckshot.
*shrug* who knows? If that’s actually a fan of his, and it’s all real, that is pretty hardcore.
Has anyone else noticed that the production value of his videos went down bigtime?
I love to see the look on some thugs face when an old person jams this into their crotch and hits the button.
For $92 only ( HERE ) I almost feel like ordering one just for kicks.
As one of the comments on YouTube says.. “Press 5 over and over to hear an angel choir”. haha :P
Interesting video. One more reason to shoot any criminal that might be armed, rather than zap them with a taser.
