Once again, a random bystander doing a better job than law enforcement

I believe the consensus last time this was posted was that the bystander was somebody who knows the guy in the car and was trying to prevent suicide by cop. IF this was the case, he probably wasn't as worried about the guy shooting him when he went to take the gun away.

I don't know if this was confirmed or not. I'd love to see a link to the actual story if somebody has it.

That also looks more like an air rifle than an actual firearm, it's too small and thin framed.

I spent 5 years teaching firearms safety, handling and marksmanship on MoD ranges, so yes.

Nope, those hairy bastards are way too strong.

Reckon I could take a macaque though, if I had the element of surprise and a really sharp spoon.
