NBC TV and an ND

Just have the TV on NBC watching some cop show. Here's what's happening.

Fat cop is chasing a BG. Cop is carrying
what looks like a SW 38. It is icy.
He is running with his trigger on the finger.
He climbs over a fence and slips on the ice and NDs. Falls on his face. A vagrant rushes over to him. He has dropped his gun. He asks
the vagrant where is his gun. The vagrant picks it to give it to him. Another cop arrives and shoots the vagrant.

Let's see what happens.
 
shhh, no one tell Glenn, but I think that Rosie O has a cameo later in that episode.

Anyone worth shooting, is worth shooting twice...
 
No offense, but that one's based in New York, isn't it? Reality TV. :rolleyes:

Ever see the episode of ER where the old cop was shot in the leg and his young "Dirty Harry" partner was gleefully telling the story of how stupid the BG looked staring at his own blood? The old cop was a "legend in the department" and had somehow read the kid's intentions as the kid held him at gunpoint. He "knew" the kid was going to drop the gun and turn himself in after 30 more seconds, because he was "a good kid." But his hand twitched from some nerve disease so the kid shot him, and then his partner came around the corner and blasted the poor kid, who was only holding a cop at gunpoint because he'd had such a tough life.
 
What a crock. I should have watched the Food Channel.

It wasn't a vagrant, it was actual a decent guy who has a young son (even though he looked pretty old). He was paralyzed.

First, all the cops - men and women are gorgeous or rugged or both - that's realistic.

Our shooter can't handle it. He runs out of his hearing. Good plan.

He then continues to go the hospital and mooon over the victim and continually gets assaulted by the family. Like his bosses never said - DON'T GO!

Since he seems to be a main character, he probably will be sent back to the streets next episode with lots of angst rather than being permanently assigned to the dog pound.

The civil suit will be fun.

The shooting was hokey. The victim looks for the cop's gun when the latter asks for it.
Then he slowly approaches the cop and points the barrel right at his bean when he gives it too him. That's why our hero nuked him.

However, if this continues, I won't know.
I'm going to watch Food Finds and see the best chocolate marshmallow clusters in the USA.
 
I think it was ER (or maybe Chicago Hope the actor was the big guy form Parker Lewis) a while back had an episode with a "gun dealer" who had shot himself and while in the hospital his wife was showing the MORON at the receving desk a 37mm flare gun that had be modified to fire Grenades which HE did down the hall through the door and into the "gun dealer's" pickup of course causing massive explosion.

1 MORON was not fired
2 Police DO NOT show up in episode
3 BATF does not show up in episode
4 No one sues Hospital

IF Hollywood realy thinks thats the way the real world works then the avg IQ on the Left cost may be much higher then thougt, as it is being pulled down by some well paid simpltons.
 
The show is "Third Watch" and it actually isn't too bad. I thought it was entirely believeable - Rookie cop makes a judgement call because his partner / trainer's life appears to be in imminent danger - Unknown subject appears to be aiming a fiream at your downed partner, you having arrived just after hearing a shot fired.

I like the show - it's a regular watch for me.

Regarding ER - yeah, suspension of disbelief is a bit much in that show regarding the anti-firearms message. There's hospital police there, and regular cops as well, all the time. Anyone comes in with that much hardware, someone would be taking into immediate custody. Complete BS.

Kevin, I kept watching because I thought the incident with it's bad gun handling was interesting. It was the after incident hokum that I objected to.

Actually, the shooting was reasonable.
The first cop running with his finger on the trigger was a good example of what not to do.

But going to the hospital was way too much.

Hell yes. I love that channel. Ya got people cooking up veal, venison, pork, beef, you name it. Bite me PETA. Loading it up with butter and what ever else ain't suppose to be good for you in whatever medical journal came out the previous week. So I'm putting on a few pounds, I'm loving life while I do it.
