Looks to me as if the officer, who is well behind the tree according to the POV of the camera, dodged his head to the cover side before coming back, sighting, and making the shot.TX Rancher wrote:I’m not sure I agree this video is an example of reaction time limitations.
The BG raised his weapon and it took the officer ~1.7 sec to take his shot. I don’t think the delay on the officer’s part was classic “reaction time� since it was too long. I feel it’s more an example of thought time, not reaction time.
I also get a kick out of the cameraman (and the reporter) making a big deal out of being in the line of fire at ~100 yards. Not too much shotgun ammo out there with a 100 yard effective range, and why line yourself up over an officer's shoulder if you don't want to be in the line of fire?
