That police woman was extremely brave. She took the armed crooks on all by herself. I wish they didn't cut up the dash footage so much. Would have liked to see the whole thing.

Shooting accurately at that kind of distance, she should be on the marksmanship team.

That's the kind of improvisation we called "field expedient" in the Army. That is, making it up as you go. I doubt you'll see that one put in the training manuals any time soon. (Didn't one of our LEOs on the forum confess to not putting his patrol car in park? :grin: )

Kudos to her!

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

Have you selected which media format you want to view it in? (WMV or Flash). Once you've selected which format to use, the video should start streaming.

If you've chosen Flash, and don't have Macromedia's Flash Player installed, you will probably get a message giving you the link to download/install the Flash plugin for your web browser. (It can also be manually installed by visiting http://www.adobe.com and selecting it from their downloads, since they bought Macromedia).

If you've chosen Windows Media Viewer format, and are running Windows, the media player may need to be updated. That can be found on Microsoft's site, or using Windows Update and selecting "Recommended" updates along with any "Critical" updates.

PM me if you're still having troubles and I'll be happy to help out.
