How dude survived this but couldn’t make his way to the DMV is astonishing

[@TimmyLongfellow]

This guy made something so small into a huge a tragic ordeal. Unbelievable.

[@banjothemanjo362]

This is one of the worst shoots I've ever seen. It's nothing short of miraculous that no bystanders were injured or worse. The reckless crossfire between officers and direction of fire into other lanes of traffic, homes, etc. Wow.

[@KeShuni]

So nobody gonna talk about how the officers shooting out the window of the car like they play GTA? 😂

[@med1pilot1956]

That was THE worst case of crossfire I have ever seen. How they didn't shoot one of their own is a miracle.

[@plutus205]

The cross fire was insane on this one. And the flagging. It's crazy how none of these cops get hit with friendly fire.

[@NewKanyeFan]

The coffee commercial in the middle of this crazy firefight hit hard af

[@challengerwilliam8414]

How do you get so many shots off at a target 25ft away and miss? Police officers need to spend a lot more time at the range.

[@HughJorgan1]

It’s amazing how many major cop incidents start with a simple traffic violation.

[@normanwoodhead6982]

How these cops kept from shooting one another is beyond me.

[@killsapm8883]

Is this for real? All this reckless shooting and they couldn't annihilate the threat/criminal? What a sad joke.

[@joedidit3233]

Although I know that it seems like the police fired way more shots than were actually fired, because we were hearing the same shots fired over and over from several different body cams, one thing came to mind. In police shootings, every single shot fired by police has to be listed, documented and explained. It must have been a nightmare for the report.

[@DronerArt]

Truly a miracle there were no citizen or officer friendly fire victims.

[@HDitzzDH]

How the suspect managed to survive all that is beyond me, but if there’s anything to complain about it’s the horrible crossfire from the officers… They were literally shooting directly at each other with only the suspects car between them.

[@quitaquita79]

I was born and raised in Buffalo NY and it's rare we hear about to shootouts with police. As a stepdaughter and niece of two former Buffalo police officers they say you never know what's going to happen and things can go left real quick. This was crazy.

[@jordzoolzen344]

The amount of rounds that could’ve gone awry into the front of stores and/or homes is unbelievable. It’s hard to determine what the best course of action would’ve been while dealing with such a dangerous and violent criminal, but no one can afford to fire that many rounds in the general direction of homes and buildings as the probability of hitting a civilian is too high. I don’t care how much training the police go through, no one is perfect.

[@DrollerSteam13]

I’m surprised that the 2 officers went behind the car at the end and didn’t take crossfire into account

[@notyourbusiness1352]

Dude it was just his registration and the female officer was so nice on him...

[@Dreyden-]

This felt like a movie.

[@Kelpie-sb5bi]

Never ceases to amaze me how these ”people” manage to turn a simple traffic stop into things like this.
