WOW! Check out the 3rd guy through the door!

Amazing!

If this happened on a team he's be getting his butt kicked for sure.

He was doing it so they had probable cause as they shot him orrrrrr
He was doing it to motivate his team mates to hurry up as they shot the perp.

I like the fact that none of his team mates even flinched.

Evidently he must do it all the time. I can hear it now.

Hahahaha.

Maybe it is a tactic? I mean the first one or two I could let go as just being poorly trained and not so intelligent...but this guy seems to just continue firing. Maybe the budget for flashbangs got cut?

Drawing fire.

I'm sure it was a diversionary tactic to draw fire from the bad guy away from the 1 and 2 men. ...sure... Blitzzz

Reminds me of some of the things I saw the Somali Soldiers do when I was there on an Infantry TAFT in 1987. All I could do was shake my head.

Pretty funny on the surface...but it did look as if it was done on purpose...maybe it's a flea market technique designed to disorient the bad guys because the police budget won't spring for flash bangs...sure wouldn't work too well with an experienced or prepared opponent, though.

Concrete floors/ceilings in that part of the world.

But maybe there was a gunman hanging from the chandelier and we just couldn't see him or maybe he was firing the pistol to be used as a 'plant gun'...

I was just getting ready to post that.

They were really making sure Jean-Claude Van Damme wasn't over the doorway.

The #1 and #2 guy go in and attract is attention and #3 nails him.
