Reholstering his revolver after the shootout with a mutilated arm and blood spurting from a head wound is beyond metal. That’s some crazy stuff

[@Ahsad-Afghan]

It bugs me a little bit that there are innumerable action movies made about fictional characters, but there are incidents like this, the battle of Leyte Gulf, etc., that would make an excellent movie with no story changes.

[@chaos00174]

@@Ahsad-Afghan I believe they avoid using real stories as they would have to actually license it from the person and pay them, as well as gain consent to use their image and likeness, which means more money. Basically they would rather make more profit on a fictional story.

[@bocefusmurica4340]

Goon: You clearly have a weak familiarity and background of firearms knowledge! 1) This encounter led to the pushing of the 10mm cartridge and handgun which only much later was cut down 0.1 inches to become the 40 S&W cartridge. 2). The 40 is not even substantially more powerful than the 9mm. 3). The 40 is NOT used by “nearly all” law enforcement agencies any more. It was, but the 9mm has come BACK once again and issued to almost 100% of agencies at all levels for nearly a decade. Big ooof. Weak Joogling. .

Morales must've been possessed by a spirit of justice when he marched towards that car, i'm convinced. One-handing a pump shotgun despite bleeding out & basically being immobilized, having your arm shredded, STOMPING TOWARDS A CAR WITH GUNS POTENTIALLY AIMED RIGHT AT YOU WITH NOTHING BUT 6 ROUNDS & SHEER ADRENALINE. truly something you'd see out of an action movie. I wouldn't be surprised if a movie straight-up referenced this whole shootout.

[@Kaphee-ju4in]

Michael Platt must have been possessed by the spirit of vengeance when he got shot and kept going, I'm convinced. When he got shot and "for all intents and purposes was dead" after the round entered his lungs yet he CONTINUED to fire rounds at the enemy, advancing towards them KNOWING HE HAD GUNS POINTED AT HIS HEAD AND ELIMINATING TWO adversaries in a point blank show down while MAIMING TWO OTHERS with nothing but SHEER ADRENALINE AND A MASSIVE PAIR OF IRONCLAD BALLS weighing him down. Truly something you would see in an action movie. I wouldn't be surprised if some cop-a-ganda film adapted this whole shootout.

[@noth606]

Well, you don't need 2 hands, I have a pump shotgun and have done drills to run it one handed should I ever have to. It's just far less efficient to run with one hand and unlike the movies you can't "gravity pump" one. At least not mine, ejecting is not a big problem since you can push the stock against your waist or chest,but getting a new cartridge to chamber and the bolt home and locked is a whole other basket of bananas. Easiest is to push the barrel into something, hunch down and use my foot as last resort 😛. Awkward as f*ck but I figured it's better to work it out without anyone shooting at me, that way I know how to if I ever need to. Did the same with 1911, racking one handed using the rear sight against something is a lot harder than I thought. Glock was just no go, can squeeze it sorta open but couldn't figure out a way to rack it all the way. AK type rifles are no problem if you can figure out a way to prop them up and not drop them, hunch down and prop it between muzzle on foot and butt in armpit works for magchange and racking. Not elegant or foolproof but better than no chance at all.

[@Zach_Hazard]

Interestingly, this shootout was responsible for the FBI's switch to 10mm. And then shortly thereafter switching to 40 S&W when many FBI agents complained of the recoil. Police departments followed suit, as they usually do. If the cool guys are using it, the police want to use it too. However, ballistics improved significantly in the years post widespread 40 S&W adoption, and most departments have ended up switching back to 9mm. It's pretty hard to say no to 3-5 extra rounds per magazine.

I always respect and admire when tough as nails badasses like Edmundo Mireles speak out and talk about having PTSD. It's not uncommon for people to feel post traumatic stress disorder is a sign of weakness. It absolutely isn't. It just means you experienced and survived something harrowing and your human. Still it can be hard to admit and talk to people about. Having people like Mireles acknowledge the hardship something like this causes for you helps imo. Audie Murphy was another guy who spoke about his PTSD.

I was an armored truck worker, and the whole driving away thing is actually what we're taught to do, because it causes exactly what happened here too happen. The guys no longer have leverage, so they get mad and leave. I'm amazed that this guy actually did it though, because when i was new i distinctly remember being told by my courier "If I'm getting robbed and you drive away, if I live I WILL kill you once i get back to the branch." This is the same thing I myself went on to say to every new guy who drove me in the future lmao. Nobody wants to be left alone in that scenario, because the other side of the coin is that the robbers panic and take you hostage as their new leverage.

[@therarenormal]

yeah well i think most of the time too robbers arent in it for a kidnapping charge. alot of ppl know that can sometimes be a bigger charge than the robbery itself. so i guess if they're trying to minimize potential jail time, yeah they'll probably just leave you alone. you're pretty much banking on them not being despretately stupid.

I don’t know where you did your research, but I will tell you this is one of the best debriefs I have seen on this incident which is close to me.

I have the privilege of calling him a friend and I had the honor of seeing his debrief of the incident at a Leo conference. From talking with this person, I didn’t realize Dove’s gunshot to his hip was disastrous and sadly it was slowly killing him. And for everyone who was thinking they were high on coke, actually Matix and Platt only had danishes and Cuban coffee in their system, a true case study in the mind won’t go where the body has not traveled. I will be sure to tell my friend about it, if you haven’t talked to him already. Great presentation! And as a first timer you got a new subscriber!

I think it’s just if you do something enough times no matter how good you are at it, you’ll mess something up. It’s probably just a function of them doing this so many times a mistake was bound to happen. My friend who is a gang member only got caught once and it was because he was out slanging for so long one day he stopped to chill somewhere in his car for a second and he had fallen asleep for less then 5 minutes before a cop was knocking on his window and he caught a felony. I’ve watched his get into a gun fight in the middle of our street, I’ve watched his house get raided by the DEA a million times but the only time he caught a charge was because he stopped to chill and fell asleep

[@AliceBowie]

A number of states have laws now where the police aren't allowed to pursue a car if it goes over 100mph. So the type of person who will take off if they see red and blue lights just don't drive with plates, so there's no chance of them finding you afterward. I don't think Florida is one of those states.

Jerry Dove was a classmate of my dad’s at Quantico. One of the major changes that happened in the immediate (like the next day) aftermath was a change in how they trained firearms at the FBI academy. Before this, since they many carried revolvers, the procedure was to finish shooting, and dump the brass in your hand, then into a can placed for that purpose. Since one of the agents was found with a fistful of expended brass, it was concluded that he was looking for the can to drop his brass in. You play how you train. After the shootout, the procedure was to just dump it on the ground and pick it up later.
