Gun Used Hypocrites

[Dreamer]

Did the bullets go all the way through or did they lodge in his chest. This is not a big deal but just curious.

Saying that this is not a big deal--in the investigation of a shooting--is like saying the fact that the exit would in the BACK of JFK's head isn't a big deal in establishing that the shooter was behind him.

Did you work for the Warren Commission, or what?

Of course it's a big deal. It's a HUGE deal, determining whether the bullets lodged in his body, or were through-and-through shots. Such a difference gives TREMENDOUS clues as to the ballistics of the bullet, the nature of the weapon used, the distance of the shooter, and other MAJOR evidence...

Not a big deal? Where did you learn deductive reasoning, "Denial University?" Or maybe it was at the "Academy of Don't Confuse Me With the Facts?"...

Second he contributes wearing two vests for saving his life but it appears that the bullets went through both vests and either into or through him. How much good did the vests do?

Most LEOs wear (and are issued) Level IIA body armor. There is not a SINGLE piece of Level IIA Body Armor that will stop ANY rifle round--including 22LR. They are not designed for that, not tested for that, and stopping rifle rounds is not in the certification requirements for Level IIA body armor.

Unless this cop was wearing Level IV, or rigid panel inserts, a .308 would go through is body armor like it was going through a down parka...

The body armor he was wearing didn't save his life at all. In fact, it very well MAY end up causing him some SERIOUS health problems, due to the nylon and kevlar/Spectra fibers being dragged into the wound channel by the bullet. There is a VERY high probability that he will end up with some pretty severe infections because of the deep-tissue fiber contamination of his wounds.
