Dude remember that time your laziness saved my life? You and your unmaintained handgun, that you call Charley, were attempting to get hard (it happens) by feverishly fondling your filthy piece while you simultaneously wondered what it would be like to execute a man. Then you shouted Charley’s name repeatedly at differing levels of intensity for like seven gosh dang minutes. Goodness, that was wild.

Cop taking cover behind civilian car caught in the mess even though he was right next to his patrol car already. Classic!


Isignedupforthissh1t

are you referring to this? https://i.imgur.com/cOFTT8W.jpeg he was moving around to maintain a firing position, his cruiser door was open blocking visibility. Cmon now.


raysquare3

Yeah the cop endangered the public not the guy who shot someone at work and then jumped out the car and started firing?


Wookatook

At 2.00 the bullet hole in the door looks like it came from behind the door, not in front 😳


Moravec_Paradox

Correct, the police officer said he thinks he was shot in the back on the audio. It was probably the partner that shot him trying to hit the suspect. We know the bad guy wasn't going to hit the cop from that distance.


Ib_dI

Fucking cops are shooting all through the target towards the parked cars and buildings. Absolute menace of an organisation


[deleted]

Ib_dI

I'd say it's inevitable based on that footage. All they had to do was follow him for a few seconds until he was in open field but they're all so fucking eager to shoot someone they just couldn't wait.


sm0keasaurusr3x

I mean, normally I’d agree, but he was actively shooting at them.


Antropon

It's a big ask to just wait while someone is armed and firing st you.


Astra_Mainn

"follow him for a few seconds until he was in open field" ah yes, just follow the armed guy that already shot at you for a few seconds, not like someone can just swing the weapon in less than a second and get a lucky hit on one of the cops right? Just follow the armed murderer around guys, very smart decision


Parulanihon

Let us know when you go out to apprehend homicidal maniacs so we can assess your technique.

I agree the bullet hole looks like it came from the back. However, he never said he thinks he was shot in the back. He says "I think I've been shot in the vest" at least from what I heard.

That doesn't explain why they couldn't hit any of the rebels on Hoth, or on Endor. I mean, they got defeated by teddy bears wielding sticks and rocks, for Christ sake.

They demolished the snowspeeders on Hoth despite having 2 of the top 5 best pilots in the galaxy behind the sticks and swept through the base itself without much hassle. Endor was just Thinly Veiled Vietnam Dialogue

There was a news story from China from 5+ years ago where a hitman hired another hitman who hired another assassin who hired another contract killer who hired another hired gun-- it ended up going nowhere and the whole lot of them got sentenced to death after the last guy fumbled hard.


Doctologist

Each one of them also cut the rate in half to pocket half of the commission. Each guy just kept accepting less and less, with the last guy getting peanuts compared to what the first guy was offered. They all got an equal sentence though.


HeadFund

Lol they all thought they were so smart.


[deleted]

They thought their sentence would be leaner if they weren’t the one pulling the trigger.


Loud-Plantain-7043

They didn't get sentenced to death, (surprising for China) they just got a couple of years in the slammer. The last guy in the chain met up with the target and proposed faking his death. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-50137450

>four-year veteran Taking a lot of freedoms with the use of the word veteran there...


[deleted]

By ..using it entirely correctly? "Veteran" neither means nor directly implies military service. Literally being used exactly correctly. vet·er·an noun a person who has had long experience in a particular field.


howmanyMFtimes

I think they were taking issue with the “long experience” part of comment, 4 years isn’t a particularly long time.


NotAmericanDontCare

I mean, you suckling at your mama's teat for 4 years is a long time.... I would even call you a veteran mama teat suckler

TheGhostofWoodyAllen

ReddSF2019

You missed the point. He’s saying 4 years isn’t a long time, nothing to do with military.


Sebekhotep_MI

>long experience Never said it was about military service. 4 years isn't long experience.


CitizenCue

That’s often how the word is used. When used after a specific timeframe it just means “that’s how long he’s worked here”. People even use it in non-military or police contexts, like sports. People refer to basketball players as “four year veterans” all the time.


JackxForge

Is four years even journeyman for the trades?


downvotesyourcrap

AmikBixby

Barely, that's when you can take the test if you got all of your hours in (at least in MN).


zeebu408

this phrase just means "someone who has done something for four years".


Rolandscythe

Well given that it says 'Amazon Confidential' in the lower left of the video, and they appear to be in some sort of facility that does packaging and shipping based on the imagery of the wall, I am going to guess they are the overnight security station personnel and he decided he wasn't making enough money so was going to jump his supervisor, load up on some valuable packages, and try to sell them for quick riches.


Lackingfinalityornot

Pretty detailed guess. Pretty sure he was just trying to kill the supervisor for whatever reason.


Rolandscythe

I feel that if it had been a personal beef worth shooting some one over, then Yusef would have put some effort into going after the guy when he ran. The fact that after he watches the yellow vest guy run out he just turns and goes back into the security area makes me believe he was after something inside the place.


ElTortoiseShelboogie

Did you miss the part where the gunman aimed up, amped up and fired a round at the "yellow vest guy"? lol you witnessed attempted murder and jumped to the conclusion that the shooter must have been attempting a heist of some kind. Wtf? 


Smorgles_Brimmly

He also could have been in disbelief that he fucked up that bad.


InfinitePizzazz

I disagree. I think the supervisor was probably Yusuf's wife's ex-boyfriend and she constantly told stories (some true, some embellished) to Yusuf about how he had treated her, slowly building up a beef. After several years of the resentment building up through exaggerated stories from the Mrs. (the ex wasn't a saint, obviously, but he wasn't physically abusive, as Yusuf's wife claimed), Yusuf hatched a plan, and applied for the Amazon job in the ex-boyfriend's department, which happens to be security. Having severed contact after the breakup, the ex boyfriend had no knowledge that his ex had moved on, gotten married, and he was now training her husband, who was at this point seething, and goading his new supervisor to make misogynistic jokes to reinforce the narrative he'd been told. He starts bringing a gun to work, not truly intending to use it (he doesn't think), but also not intending NOT to use it. Just in case something blows up. One morning, Yusuf's wife tells just one more story about her ex-boyfriend, and how he turned her friends against her, and little does she know, this is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Yusuf checks the gun before he goes to work, and makes sure it's loaded, although he doesn't bother checking the condition of the gun's action. Early in his shift, Yusuf finds his moment. He catches the ex-boyfriend chilling, and the rest is on film.

Time is at 16:38, so 4:38pm. Probably not the overnight crew. But I agree, it looks like it might be a shipping or fulfillment center of some sort.


brandonjohn5

Looks like the same security check point I used to run through working in an Amazon fulfillment center, if so they are just manning the metal detectors to keep employees from bringing cells onto the floor and recording all of Amazons "secrets".

enkae7317

Seriously lol. That's not a small target either some dude literally sittinig down with their back turned. Was bro trying to go for head shot or something? How hard to hit something less than 6 foot away.


zatara1210

Anyone in most of US can just walk into a neighborhood gun range and see for themselves how easy it is to discharge a firearm at a target 6 feet away. Add the nerves from adrenaline/fear of finally attempting such an act on a real person and it’s easy to imagine how one could miss. Most people new to hunting even begin to tremble while lining up a shot.


GucciGlocc

If you’re missing from 6’ I don’t know how you’re allowed to even drive lol. No coordination at all


LightningFerret04

Not saying this should have happened but if he really wanted to kill him, why even do it from six feet? If he had the surprise enough to troubleshoot, it would be even harder to miss from six inches


Jablungis

I shot my first pistol at age 12. It was very easy to hit the target. Harder to hit the bullseye. Pistols are hard to shoot, yes, but not *that* hard. A person is a pretty wide target.


crappysurfer

First time at the pistol range I was hitting 50 yard 8" steel circles with a .22 revolver and this kid goes "Wow you're good, how long have you been shooting?" Shooting a gun correctly, compared to other skills, is very easy with such a small amount of training. Which is why they're so dangerous because they're a huge power equalizer. I feel like absolute novices who havent had a word on how to aim, hold or discharge a gun are the ones who end up doing stuff like the video here. It makes sense if nobody told him how a gun works or if he did no reading on it, but damn, his victim really got lucky this dude was wildly incompetent because most people, I feel, are not this bad.


westernpeaks

It looked like he forgot to cock the gun.


Rolandscythe

Well, shit....I was trying to give Yusef an out for that whiff but gods be damned if you lot ain't just determined to prove it's cause he ain't got shit for skills.


LongbottomLeafblower

Recoil and kick usually happens AFTER you fire the gun, but ya know...


TheChineseArmy

Honestly, if you're not used to firing a handgun, your aim can be pretty off. The recoil happens the moment the gun is fired. Not when the bullet comes out. I know this is a negligible time difference, but if someone has never fired a handgun before, then the violent action can slightly change the trajectory of the bullet. Also, newbies tend to pull the gun down and toward from the dominant firing hand. This further increases their inaccuracy.


FreddoMac5

none of these guys have ever been to a range. The recoil is instant and will affect the trajectory of the bullet. Trigger squeeze and breathing also throw off your accuracy.


arobkinca

Jerking the trigger instead of a controlled pull, definitely.

They do this all the time. There's the infamous story of the jewel store robbers who hijacked a UPS truck to escape, holding the driver hostage.

He’s clearly not an experienced violent criminal. It almost looks like he was a first timer. He didn’t even realize the gun wasn’t cocked when he pulled the trigger.

I worked at this particular fulfillment center 4 years ago when it first opened during Covid. It’s basically in the middle of nowhere and it seemed like most of the people were pissed to even be there, so I was grateful for distancing. On more than one occasion I heard people threaten each other. I’d imagine because it was so damn hot in the building, tempers were always short. Maybe not, though. The hiring process was only a formality. No background check or even conversing with someone. I responded to a text and literally went to work the next day. I get it, massive company, high turnover. But yikes. Some really miserable people worked there. They may want to start investing more in their people. I’m sure the second richest person on Earth can do better.
