Will you give me your honest opinion about this video...it will only take 4min of your time.
A couple quotes:
"In this simulated battlefield, it's hard to determine what's real and what's not!"
"We call it hyper-realistic"
"The action is fake but the amputees are real"
"Having amputee actors. What does that mean?" - "Complete realism!"

Please tell me how exactly you can get realism without using actors?
No using a medsim training dummy is not the same as using a human being in a fluid situation.

Go to 1:47 in the video. I would think that's the same moment in the video...screaming at her. And it clearly looks like a woman..

Why a head shot and not centermass?
In real life, police and military personnel are trained to fire at the center of mass (read: chest/heart), as the head is a small target that likes moving around a lot, while the center of mass is a relatively easy target that moves with the subject and also has lots of vital organs in it. And even if you miss, you might hit a limb (or, yes, the head) instead.
Good point , i will open another thread about this.

Thank you! Finally someone who actually saw her getting yelled at also. She was like jogging or walking pretty quick and looks like she is startled as the "cop" yells get outta hear and maybe even pushes her camera down or her away.

I realize the thrust of this thread's discussion is whether the video is in fact "rare" or "forbidden," the gender of the videographer, and the efficacy of using actors and amputees in crisis training scenarios, so I hope I am not entirely off-topic by suggesting this video has content that could help make an argument that some or all of the Boston Bombing could have been staged for some nefarious purpose. Those other points seem rather tertiary to me when considering the greater ramifications of this event so please pardon my insolence in case that implication is already resolved.
My conspiracy-mindedness suggests some of the aftermath of that event such as the lockdown and neighborhood searches, flashing citizens with gunpoint as they peer out their windows, that this could have been used to condition a people to elements of martial law. I know, rather far-fetched notion that things like that could happen in America.

That's what I see from that video.
