  1. Yo Ive never aimed a gun but i know for sure it aint that easy like it is in video games. The aim on this man when it counted was satisfying to see.

  2. How come when he was getting shot at it showed a guy in a red hoodie right there on the road in front of the bike but when he returned fire the guy was just wearing a tan or white shirt?

  3. Where in the hell is NBC, ABC, FOX News???? where are all those folks putting down the police saying police are shooting at people for no reason?? yeah that's what I thought..just pisses me off!!!

  4. Yo what a badass.. Good job sir, reactions were on point and by look of it good shot placement as well, and it was after diving down a ditch 👏👏👏 well done..
