I'll go ahead and call bs on that one. Have you seen what damage even a 9mm does under armour plate?

Interview of the first video taker revealed the officer shot the suspect in the back and the suspect didn't flinch, turned around and shot the officer. So armor on underneath and not phased by the pressure of the impact.
which would have put him out in the middle of the street and put his back to the original direction he was shooting.

"I just came across a video of one of the cops being killed quite clearly, looks like a highly trained killer if you ask me."
I don't really think the assault looks very tactical, its certainly very aggressive.
I mean to me the tactical move would have been to use the black SUV as cover and shoot the target from behind the back right hand side of the vehicle. The shots still potently there and there is a hell of less chance of being shot yourself.
Personally i imagine the perpetrator to be amateurs most lightly high on a cocktail of drugs considering the aggressive nature of the attack.

I don't know if I'm viewing this correctly, but it appears as if the shooter fires distraction rounds to (his) left side of the column, and when the officer moves back for cover, the shooter flanks him with ease. It happens so fast and skilfully.
In the extended video he just walks through the battlefield with such confidence. Either severely disciplined training or mind control.
I'm against teaching civs military technique.
but I still doubt one can overcome 12 police officers just by "watching youtube". That's what I meant.

I mean back right hand side of the vehicle from the videos perspective. The is vehicle pretty much in line with the concrete stanchion the Police in attempting to hide behind. So the shots there and so is the cover. Certainly the better, more tactical option, rather than charging the fellow, which to be honest is down right madness.
