Trooper About to be Executed Gets Saved by Back-up - Great Story
Thank God for those deputies and their training...
--- Associated Press ---
BATON ROUGE, La. — A drunk driving suspect shot a Louisiana state trooper early Wednesday, grazing the trooper's head, and was preparing to shoot the downed trooper again when he was wounded by West Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies, state police said.
Col. Mike Edmonson, commander of state police, said the suspect was standing over the trooper, revolver in hand, when the deputies arrived. One deputy fired at the suspect through the windshield of his own patrol car. Another got out of the car and fired. It was unclear how many times the suspect was hit. State police said he was hospitalized in serious condition.The trooper was hospitalized in stable condition.
"He's going to be OK," Edmonson said. "I told him he's got a hard head."
The identities of all involved were not immediately released.
Edmonson and Lt. Doug Cain, a state police spokesman, said the trooper pulled the driver over around 2:30 a.m. The trooper, believing the man to be intoxicated, was about to place him under arrest. The man fought with the trooper, wrestling with him before breaking away, running to his car and getting a revolver.
The trooper immediately called for backup. At some point the suspect fired. The trooper was hit in the head and knocked to the ground.
"When the two West Baton Rouge Parish deputies drove up, he was standing over the trooper," Edmonson said.
Cain said state police believe the man was about to fire again at the prone trooper when deputies arrived.
"There's no doubt in our minds these deputies saved his life," Edmonson said.

22 Year Old Shoots at SWAT While Wearing Homemade Explosives
COLUMBIA, SC — It all started when a newspaper delivery man noticed he was being followed by the driver of a black Ford Explorer. That deliveryman called the police, who stopped the driver, 22-year-old Blakely Hilton Jernigan.This is when things went sideways.
As Patrol Officer Alexander Broder approached Jernigan’s vehicle, according to The State, Jernigan fired a handgun directly at the officer’s chest from close range.
We can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Officer Broder was wearing his department-issued body armor. He survived, but Jernigan continued on to his apartment, initiating an hour-long SWAT standoff.
Jernigan’s father was called on to help negotiate. Hopes were high as it looked like the young man would be surrendering though a back door, but that’s when he plowed through the door and fired an AK-47 at two of the SWAT officers, according to The State.
Those officers fired back, killing Jernigan, whose body remained in the backyard while a bomb squad scoured the apartment. His body was strapped with homemade explosives.
Here’s what officers found in the apartment, according to the State:
“An undetermined amount of cocaine and marijuana, a second AK-47, machetes and other knives with long blades, and an explosive powder that had been used to construct the homemade explosive devices.”
The stove was also on, filling the place with gas, which could have been deadly if a flash grenade were used.
Read the full version on The State newspaper, which also happens to be the paper of the deliveryman who called police in the first place.

Why Cops Don't Kill More Bad Guys
--- By Chief Joel Shults at PoliceOne.com
News from ILEETA 2011: Why aren't cops killing more bad guys?
With police officer deaths headed toward as many as 200 this year (approximately half of line of duty deaths have been by murder) police trainers are asking themselves some hard questions about what’s going wrong
For statistical perspective the most recent FBI annual crime report is that 48 officers were feloniously killed. In contrast police officers shot and killed 403 (three additional suspects were killed by police using something other than a firearm) in the same period. In that same reporting year 261 persons were justifiably killed by civilians, 215 by firearms.
In the context of millions of officer-citizen contacts daily across the nation, the number of lethal encounters resulting in the death of an officer or suspect is statistically small. Eighty percent of officers report being in a deadly force confrontation in which they had to decide whether or not to pull the trigger. By raw numbers police officers do a stunningly effective job of dealing with potentially deadly encounters without killing offenders. Even so, the impact of those police deaths on families, agencies, and the social fabric and American psyche is immeasurable and unacceptable.
Researchers have known for decades that soldiers have a reluctance to kill even in the heat of battle. Military training has changed to create both a mindset and skill base to increase kill ratios. The question of whether law enforcement should be killing more people than they currently are has dramatic social and ethical implications for a free society. The answer to that question in terms of tactics and officer survival is that police officers should be shooting more often and more effectively.
Why aren’t cops killing more bad guys?
Lack of Warrior Spirit — Some trainers and supervisors believe that aggressive characteristics necessary for surviving intense, highly physical encounters are intentionally selected out by current recruitment and testing methods. Dr. Alexis Artwohl, co-author of Deadly Force Encounters suggests that the warrior spirit is actually alive and well in American culture. Research by Ron Borsch, manager of South East Area Regional Law Enforcement Training Academy in Bedford, Ohio reveals that a significant number of active shooters are stopped by unarmed civilians initiating action on their own. Artwohl cites evidence that 90 percent of people are highly resilient and able to respond effectively to unusual circumstances. Regardless of the any deficiency in the recruits they can be trained for effectiveness.
Discomfort with Firearm — Vicki Farnam, longtime firearms trainer and author of Teaching Women to Shoot: A Law Enforcement Instructor's Guide, states that her experience tells her that many officers do not “have a relationship with their weapon.” Although Farnam’s specialty is training female shooters, with fewer American boys growing up around guns the weak gun relationship is not limited to females.

25th Anniversary of the Miami FBI Shootout
By Curt Anderson
Associated Press
NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — The FBI commemorated one of the bloodiest events in its history Monday on the 25th anniversary of a Miami shootout that killed two agents and wounded five others, leading the bureau to adopt more powerful weapons, better body armor and improved tactics in violent confrontations.FBI Director Robert Mueller and William Webster, the FBI director when the gun battle with two bank robbers took place, were among several hundred law enforcement personnel who gathered to honor the memories of agents Benjamin P. Grogan and Jerry Dove. Also present was a survivor who was wounded in the shootout, retired agent John F. Hanlon Jr.
"I'm very, very proud of what we did that day. We all did our duty. And we did the best we could," Hanlon said. "They laid down their lives gallantly for their country."
On April 11, 1986, the FBI agents were closing in on a pair of robbers who had shot several guards during a string of bank and armored car robberies. Following them in cars through a quiet neighborhood south of Miami, agents saw the pair loading a weapon and decided to make a traffic stop that ended with one agent ramming the suspects' car.
Hanlon said that earlier that morning Grogan, a 25-year veteran of the FBI, knew they'd probably run into trouble once they caught the men later identified as William Matix, 24, and Michael Lee Platt, 32.
