when a deadly threat materializes you
got to act immediately to end it the
Manta sex firearms training system
attaches to any gun with a rail into
your phone via bluetooth to track barrel
movement every shot you take use it to
help you be the most accurate fastest
shot you possibly can in a defensive
encounter I use it in my training all
the time hi everyone this is John with
today's active self-protection lesson
out of Ohio it is an officer-involved
shooting that teaches lessons to all of
us today we are going to learn about
when to go from verbal skills to deadly
force tools about shooting until the
threat stops and not stopping until the
threat does and about getting out of the
danger zone if you can but if you can't
controlling the situation you're in the
dash cam is connected to a microphone on
the officer so we're gonna listen in and
hear an awful lot of discussion between
the officer and the people inside the
car when this is over we will come back
and learn some lessons hey what's going

77 I'm okay roll medics yes for now for
now I've got one down open the door and
get out of the car now open the door get
out of the car now get on your face on
your face do not move do not move if you
want a lot more context the description
has a link to the full video that has
several minutes more of backup officers
showing up and him having to interact
with the other people and make sure that
he is safe before they get there but
let's go back and learn some lessons on
this one first one I want to pay
attention to is the fact that the
officer when everything started going
wrong here gave 30 verbal commands he
gave this guy every chance in the world
when things got a little squirrely and
the guys started going for a gun that
you know he gave him 30 opportunities to
put the gun down and to not get shot and
that happens every day here in America
now I want to also notice as the officer
does have to go for his gun then he has
to get a reliable consistent full firing
grip on that gun without looking at it
that's a fundamental of shooting you
have to be able to get a full firing
grip with one hand on the gun and get
that gun out without looking at it that
is an incredibly important skill whether
you're law enforcement officers CCW now
the officer is at this point giving
those commands to him and not only to
him but to the other people in the car
because he's trying to talk his way out
of this I love the fact that the officer
is still using verbal commands he didn't
just draw the gun and use it he
everything he could to avoid the
gunfight remember your firearm is a tool
of last resort however at some point
officer had to shoot and so he backed
away as soon as the shooting started and
I do notice here that the officer put
five shots on target with one hand
single handed shooting is an important
and fundamental skill whether a law
enforcement officer or a CCW because you
might have to shoot with one hand now
when he continues to assess here the
next four shots are taken with two hands
and if you can get two hands on the gun
the gun shoots better and faster with
two hands on it then it does with one
and therefore we want to have two hands
on the gun if we possibly can and the
officer then assessed what was going on
took those first five shots when the
threat re-emerged he took four more
shots and then reassessed also notice
that the car door is completely a not
cover whatsoever it might be concealment
but the car door itself is absolutely
not cover he shot right through it and
it was no big deal for the bullets to go
right through that never think that car
doors are gonna provide you cover
finally we have follow-up here I would
highly recommend at this point again
this officer is under a lot of stress he
has a lot to assess in the environment
so I'm not giving him a hard time but I
would recommend if you have a spare
magazine on you and this officer does he
shot nine shots even if he's got a
nine-millimeter Glock 17 here
he's diminished the capacity in his
firearm by half so this would be a great
time without shooting going on with
assessment going on to get a reload out
and to do a proactive reload or a speed
reload depending on who you want to talk
about to get that magazine up on target
and get that gun reloaded and up to full
capacity as fast as you can this officer
did a pretty fantastic job he gave as
many verbal opportunities as he possibly
could put the right amount of shots on
target didn't have to shoot any of the
other people in the car protecting
himself and everyone around him and
covered his ass
