He put several New Orleans police officers on the helicopter and took off. He started flying passes over the roof of the hotel, slowing down and turning so that the police could get a good shot. They could not. Essex would take shots at the aircraft from afar but would take cover the minute they closed in. Pitman noticed this and kept making passes to lure Essex into thinking this was his routine. Finally, after one pass, he turned immediately around and caught Essex in the open. The police in the helicopter unloaded on the sniper.

When all was said and done, Essex was found with over 200 rounds in his body.

Wow, what a great story and this is the first I’ve heard of it. It’s a good thing for him that Obama wasn’t president then.

Rules never cover every context and some are written to demand intentional ignoring of the context of a situation, regardless how breaking the rule to fit the context would be the moral and right thing to do.

Cop 1: Is he dead, yet?

Cop 2: I don’t know. Better shoot him a hundred more times to make sure.

200 rounds???? The helo must have hovered for 10 minutes while the cops unloaded everything but slingshots.

“Why did you shoot this man 200 times?”

“Sir, because we ran out of ammunition.”
