And they might be trained to do that, in case the shooter is wearing body armor.It was said he had multiple head wounds. Usually, police won't even try to aim for the head because it's too easy to miss. They go for the chest instead.
These guys at the Pentagon must have been pretty cracker-jack shots, particularly considering they were under fire when they took him down.
I don't know how applicable this is, being from a foreign police department in another city, but the cub scout troop I'm an assistant leader of just had a visit from the Edmonton Alberta police department a couple weeks ago. The constable told us they are trained to always go for the torso as it is the biggest and easiest target to hit and perpetrators are almost never wearing armor. They will go for head shots if the perpetrator is making use of cover and that is the only part that's visible.
A shot-up extreme lower intestine can also be also fatal.i recall a post, several months ago, stating that a head shot was useless when trying to take down a truther.

head shots simply won't do. the body will keep walking like a chicken with its head cut off. shots must be directed to the part of the body which controls all mental and motor functions, this being the gluteus maximus.

Tends to happen when you pull out a handgun and start shooting at Pentagon Police personnel. You think they would "shoot to wound"?
I wonder what Capt Lagasse thinks now of Ranke and Alpo, knowing one of their kind tried to off a couple of his boys.
Typical Truther mentality, though....how many times have we heard, with *breathless fervor* that the Pentagon is the MOST PROTECTED BUILDING IN THE GALACTIC UNIVERSE!!!!! So I think I'll take a handgun and go attack it.
Death By Pentagon Cop. Not a particular smart way to go, but it is sure a definite way to go.
There sure are a lot of homicidal maniacs in the 9/11 Twoof Movement!
I wonder why there are so many homicidal maniacs in the 9/11 Twoof Movement.
I wonder if the Pentagon security cameras got a better shot of him than they did of the 911 attack plane/missile?
Your lies can inspire people to kill others? Good job identifying jet engines as wheel covers and fuselage as a horse trailer making up lies about 911. You might be the inspiration for the next person to take up arms and kill in the name of your lies, and the lies you support. Good job with the big letters.
Will your lies inspire the next? You spew lies and don't care.
A shot-up extreme lower intestine can also be also fatal.
Rich? You claiming you don't have paranoia? No hatred? That is the Truther movement writ large...it is their foundational emotions. It is the very bedrock of their existence - hating everything that this government and what this nation stands for and paranoid that THEY are watching you. It gets you Truthers so riled up all you want to do is go attack the Pentagon...or post on an internet discussion board. Big man, you are, jammonious.
It's not me, nor anyone I've ever heard of. I graduated in 1993. He was probably a couple of classes after me.
I agree it looks like a "suicide by cop" -- one of total madness.
Very unfortunate that the officers were wounded, and that this nut forced them to kill him. I'm glad to hear they are recovering well.
Let's not confuse correlation with causation. The fact that the man was a truther doesn't mean that it led him to sociopathic and suicidal violence. Both may just be unrelated symptoms of the same mental illness.
The vast majority of even the most paranoid truthers never get so much as a jaywalking ticket. And some people were attacking cops and other authority figures long before 9/11 was even conceived.
'es, they are going after 9/11 truth-ers to shut down the truth and the movement.
As a proud card-carrying member of the 'far right', I can safely say that the man was not one of us. As a matter of fact, I have an interview with an AP reporter coming up in about an hour at Range USA (a shooting range) who is doing a story on the local tea party effort. I'll be sure to mention that to him as well
Just an FYI, Alex Jones ain't the 'far right'.
Electorates.us has Bedell listed as a registered Democrat in Hollister, CA, which was what I expected.
