I just caught this one on the news out of Detroit and found the reaction of the witness to be interesting in light of the changes in the DPD.

was attempting to open the door and fire but the gun jammed. The officer retrieved his gun and shot the suspect once in the face.

so he knew the gun was jammed when he shot him???

“The suspect was taken to the hospital but his condition is unknown at this time.”

I think is condition is probably unrecognizable.

Sounds like the off duty cop needs to get himself a .45

re: The suspect tried to chase the officer and was attempting to open the door and fire but the gun jammed.

Hmm. Suddenly, I see warning lights. May be just a reflex thought but reading the officer's statement that, “the suspect produced a “nickel-plated revolver” I started wondering. I am not saying it is impossible, but it sure is rare that a revolver “jams”.
Throw down?

So will getting shot in the face make him as smart as the hypocrite Gabby Gifford’s or as dumb as hypocrite Gabby Gifford’s?

“The suspect tried to chase the officer and was attempting to open the door and fire but the gun jammed.”

A revolver jamming? I’m not an expert of firearms, but I would imagine the weapon was damaged, very dirty, or loaded with some very old, poor quality ammo (or maybe the wrong ammo type) for that to happen.

Again, not an expert on these things, so I could be 100% wrong (and I often am, LOL) about this.

I’d say the lesson here is there’s nothing more worthless than a gun that doesn’t shoot... except for the dirt bag who thinks he can rob a store with it.

Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody says the officer was working a second job at a pharmacy

I was surprised a Police sergeant would be working a second job until I looked up their salary...

Median salary is 66 K a year...

You couldn't pay me enough to be a Detroit cop...

Maybe the thief had face armor made out of DOGS...?

Good shot, all the same.

Why this poor child! Shot in the face no less. He didn’t deserve that. That off duty cop had no business carrying a weapon and shooting him, since he wasn’t defending his own home.

The suspect is listed in serious condition but expected to survive, Woody said Saturday afternoon.

Well, I suppose not all of the stories of this kind of thug behavior can end ideally...

Kudos to the off-duty cop. He might need more range time, though.
