Re: Dallas LEO shooting video raises question's

I apologize for misdirecting this thread with my Tueller Principle discussion. I've started a separate thread so this one can get back on track.

Re: Dallas LEO shooting video raises question's

This incident was covered in a KHOU CH. 11 newscast and it was reported that at least one of the officers stated the man lunged at them before they fired. If this statement was made, then the officer(s) must not have considered that video cameras are everywhere these days.

I discuss the Tueller Principle (erroneously a/k/a 21 Foot Rule) in my CHL classes and I always run a Tueller Drill during self-defense classes. It's a real eye-opener! However, this is done with one shooter and with a holstered handgun. Two or more people with drawn weapons present a different scenario and, if the officer(s) actually gave a false statement about the subject lunging at them, then they may well have serious problems.
