The Stress of a Gunfight


Listen Later

Some of the most incredible stressors on the planet are inflicted upon our police officers on a daily basis. Take, for instance, a wild shoot-out between a cop and a Ganster Disciple who had sworn to kill any police officer he saw in the wake of his robbery of a local bank.

That cop was Officer Tim Gramins. The suspect charged Gramins with a 9MM as soon as he was stopped, shooting with murderous intent. Worse than that, Officer Gramins hit him 14 times with a .45 ACP during the gunfight, six of which were "fatal shots" (one heart, one in each lung, also liver and kidney) and the 37 year-old 'gangsta' was still trying to kill him.

This is what our fellow citizens in blue have the potential to face on an average work-day as a sworn police officer, and what we require of them. This ain't child's play.
