    A friend of mine lived in NYC for several years. He told me that the more he got to know his neighbors, the more he liked them and his neighborhood had a real community vibe where people genuinely looked after one another. He ended up discovering that his neighborhood was known for a heavy mob presence and many of his neighbors were involved in that life. Looking back on it, he said, it made so much more sense why the neighborhood felt so close knit and why there was very little crime in that neighborhood despite crime being rampant just blocks away. The street criminals apparently knew to avoid that neighborhood. Apparently peace through strength is a real thing.

      He was a bit slow to make decisions. This may be his first situation of this type, but he backs off, then stands in the middle of the road before picking the smallest, flimsiest pieces of cover. Fear is normal of course, but people are also looking to him.
      The bystanders amazed me more. two behind the light pole, many just dawdling across the road or standing in the open. like they could not understand what was going on was real. if he was intent on harming others rather than shooting into the air, he could have killed a lot of people

    I am from NYC and I am also a combat veteran (retired). When I was working as a EDC Handler in NYC, I asked them what their requirement is for shooting an armed suspect and they said they gotta wait until they within 10 feet. I told them, Expect your commander to get a body bag because for me 10 FT is definitely a death sentence. We train to shoot at 25M targets and were always taught that the maximum effective range of a 9mm is 50M. Their range in the Bronx is subpar at best. They need to be trained like the military with an actual range with targets that come up at various distances.

      @Jose Mercado exactly my point. And the focus on firearms training and skills is wholly lacking. Especially given all the different scenarios police have to deal with these days.
      Nowadays only special units have access to shoot houses and simulated ammunition. But every patrol officer, every officer who carries, every off duty and retired officer should have access to live simulated fire training scenarios. It's not just about hitting your target, but what to do before you shoot, what to do after, and team tactics. I've seen videos where it's 8 or 9 officers who justifiably so, open fire. And it's just chaos. Some run forward, some run for cover, some shout contradictory commands, some go one handed on their weapon to get on the radio WAY too soon. It's a mess, and different standards for different departments. I'm typically against big government oversight, but in this case state wide or even federal guidelines on training might help. Just to get everyone on the same page.

    Can confirm. Not to throw shade but as a former 11B and Army reserve soldier in NYC, I had several NYPD cops in my unit. Their performance on the range with both pistol and rifle left a lot to be desired, namely how to properly insert a magazine i.e. not backward. There were some proficient officers but I think even they would agree NYPD desperately needs more range time as a whole.

    In Virginia when I was with the DOC Tactical Support Unit we had to qualify with 96% or better, and the regular Officer only need 70% to pass.

    Officer Gutierrez's actions were actually spot on from my perspective. His primary objective in this instance is save lives, and he took the action that was most appropriate, provide direction to people to get the most out of harm's way the fastest. Only after that did he run towards the gunfire and even then was directing civilians to safety.

    Precision marksmanship at 25 yards isn't easy with a NY+ 12-pound trigger on your pistol. As far as NYPD officer Gutierrez "backing up and hanging out" goes, it appeared that he was working hard to urge civilians quickly out of the open area and under the shelter of available cover. After that, he moved forward. His immediate goals should have been to minimize danger to innocent people in the vicinity, and then lock the area down into a "static" problem where the threat couldn't go mobile. Once that's accomplished, the threat itself can be addressed, either by summoning a SWAT unit, or by the officers there on scene. Looked like a pretty professional job.

    As a private citizen, when you hear shots ring out, at that moment, you don’t necessarily know who is shooting at whom, who is the bad guy or who is the good guy defending others! This creates tremendous potential for misidentification of who the perpetrator is and may place one of the good guys in tremendous jeopardy! Furthermore, when police arrive on scene and see someone with a gun, they don’t know that you are a good guy, private citizen, defending the lives of others. They just see a man with a gun! Recently in Arvada, Colorado, the good guy with a gun, who was a true hero and put down a perpetrator who had just shot an Arvada police officer, was then himself killed by other police officers responding to the shooting. So, how do you get around these difficulties if more civilians are armed, especially in an urban setting?

She said she owns guns but they are all unloaded and locked up because she is not in fear someone is trying to come and get her.

      My bedside gun is loaded/chambered, in a biometric lock box near my nightstand (I have little kids) the idea of having it safely away from yourself gives more reason to question a personals mental health than having a gun ready incase the worse happens. Best response I have for those types is. Do you where a seat belt? They always say yes, I then ask them do they plan to crash into someone or think that someone out there is lurking waiting to hit them? Once they connect the dots in silence it's always funny to watch their Binaray code implode.

    I honestly think that the officiers stepping back was smart. Allows them to keep a full picture of the situation as people disperse (which could easily include the person who fired the gun). Once they register the situation and understand what's happening, they then could make the right choice. What if someone who was a registered ccw reacted immediately to the actual perp and gunned them down right away? Without proper understanding of the whole situation could easily lead to one of the officiers to potentially shooting an innocent citizen.

You could get into some fog of war kind of situation among other civilians, and to law enforcement as well. Even if I was armed in that situation I would run for cover and return fire ONLY IF it was directed at me. Otherwise sitting tight and let the guys with qualified immunity take those shots (if I miss Im liable legally).
