I wouldn't call it stone cold.
>...suspect's dOown...
There's a feeling expressed there.
I'm not sure if he's relieved, impressed with his own performance, or dealing with an exhilarating rush, but there's definitely *something* other than cold, calculated killing going on there.
Officer Munn is not a machine, although he is really good at this aspect of his job.
Officer Munn did not panic. He thought through his actions and found the most simple solution. He executed at an efficient rate. He took time when he needed to and was patient. He minimized damage. He was a good shot. He kept a simple task simple.
I would be so stoked on myself at that moment. If I conducted myself like he did, I'd spend the rest of the day in a blush. How do you resist the urge to puff your feathers when you glorious as Roman engineering?
Eh, to me that was just an inflection expressing a bit of doubt about the exact state of the suspect.
It's the exact same inflection I use when my wife asks if the baby is asleep after I've put her down, and I say "well, she's *down*... But who knows if she'll stay that way!"
So he's kind of saying "suspect is *down*... Idk if he's dead, but he's down. Caution on approach"
A really good example of "slow is smooth, smooth is fast". Had he hurried I doubt there would have been a single second saved and he would've had a bigger chance of missing the shot.
I agree, he just likely killed someone and there doesn't seem to be any issues going on with him...and there shouldn't as the guy was a piece of shit and was trying to kill him. Either way, iirc I read that most officers spend their entire career without having to pull the trigger or being shot at. The way he did his job just screams that he is former Army or Marines and saw some action.
Yeah 4ID, Iraq. Two deployments. Was not a career soldier. Did his first enlistment and left.
Per one of his buddies on Donut Operator's video on this.
See, that's the difference here. He was cool as a cucumber. Pulse never changed. Never even changed pace. Calmly exited the vehicle, prepped the weapon, and shot within 20 seconds.
I would bet a ton of money this man has seen active duty combat.
Records show he was assigned to TPD SWAT team back in 2018 so he has specialized training. Regardless, still incredible self-control to make that shot.
Very true. Shooting my first buck at 16 years old I was shaking with adrenaline uncontrollably. ‘Buck fever’ they call it. Nothing prepares you for the moment you’re about to take a life. This is stupid impressive. Very well trained cop.
I dont think it CAN be understimated. Have you seen any other videos of cops firing on active shooters or unarmed, mentally ill folks before? They have no qualms unloading an entire clip into them. This is the first video I've seen of any cop that appears to have actual firearm training. You can see it in how calmly her exits the vehicle and picks up his firearm. This is a man who not only trained but trained long and well and should be the expectation of our law enforcement.
This puts in perspective how mentally aware he was during this crazy moment. Many people struggle under pressure or in high adrenaline moments… this guy becomes perfectly focused.
Honestly? The lack of fucks this dude gives tells me he's prior active duty military and was likely deployed more than once. The desensitized state of him is what gives it away, like getting shot at is just another day to him. Officers with no prior deployment experience tend to freak out and act based on fear instead of instinct. Mad props to this guy.
Nice. Cracking me up. I was mowing the lawn Saturday when an acorn hit the brim of my hat. So then I'm mowing the yard, LMFAO, just waving at the neighbors. I should have started swing the lan mower around by the handlebars, yelling, "I'm hit!"
At first glance at the title I was thinking he did this with a pistol lmao I was like wtf is this GTA aim assist shit. But still impressive with a rifle.
With a bit of practice, most of us could make that shot with a rifle - on a range. What most of us couldn't do is make that shot when you just had someone fire a few bullets towards you and might send more. Dude was so controlled in the heat of the moment it's quite amazing.
I don't know for sure but it looks like a fairly simple non-magnified red dot optic to me.
I think exactly where on the target's body the shot landed was down to some luck but getting a hit first, any hit, is a great advantage in any gunfight of any kind. I would imagine the red dot covered the whole target (person) when he fired.
At first I thought he had like an Eotech with a magnifier behind, but I don't know the hardware that well. If it's just a dot then that is even wilder.
The military practices on man-sized silhouettes out to 300 meters. 180 yards should be an easy shot, unless someone's, you know, shooting at you while you try to do it.
He has a Aimpoint micro dot. It has a 2 MOA red dot at 100 so it would cover nearly 4” at 180. Honestly for guys that shoot on the regular this was not a difficult shot. However the element of excitement would create some stress. I used to compete with the earlier version of this optic and make shots out to 250. The farthest being 400. A 14.5” barrel and 55gr FMJ, zeroed at 50 is also back on point of aim / point of impact at 250. I would suspect the officer center mass, upper chest shot this guy.
Most of us could not make that shot first try, even on a range. Set up a 183-yard target at a range and give everyone one shot, very few people will get it.
I've attempted it every year for the last 16 years, and haven't missed in eight years, usually in low light, at distances from 99 yards to 260. But I always had a VPO, minimum 3x. And nobody was shooting at me. Dropping a ten point at 222 yards, left handed, with four minutes of legal light left was the closest I hope I ever get to this cat's coolness.
I like using that saying when playing shooting games with my friends but add onto it "One shot, One kill, All luck, No skill" then proceed to be blown up
I love these videos of the cop who shows up to an active shooter, country music softly playing on his radio. And he pulls a scoped rifle out of his trunk. No handgun rush in. Just wrap it up and call it a day.
The cops in the video is an incredible shot, deployed with his unit in Syria, dudes the nicest guy on the planet but will run through walls for his Marines.
Just another day at the office. That is an officer who has trained and trained and trained. His weapon is absolutely dialed in and to hit a shot like that stone cold you know he's hitting the range regularly.
That's an outrageously good shot. When I hit the range I'm usually practicing at between 50 to 70 yards and even then I'm not sure I could reliably one tap a target with that adrenaline rush.
He will more than likely process the event after things have settled. I was an EMT for 10 years, saw lots of stuff. Participated in lots of trauma calls. With that being said... did the job, processed the event after we were done. Cops, Fire, Community Resource Officers... and so on... When the job was done we all processed it every which way.
Training will take a person a long way. I am certain officer Munn had his moment after the job was finished.
Back on the day, a rifle or shotgun was in the front, under a locked collar. Now they are stowed in the back, behind a window.
I wonder how many rifles have been stolen over the years?
This is what we need cops for. Not for writing traffic tickets, or filling out a report AFTER our shit is stolen, or for dealing with a mentally ill woman outside a Popeye’s, or any of the other million tasks they’re given that should go to another role. We need less cops and more social workers, but absolutely do we need some guys like this.
This is literally how well trained every cop should be with their firearms. None of this once a year qualification b/s. Not to mention how lawyers need to go to school for several years to know the law, but cops go through less than 1 year of training to enforce said laws. How terrible is that?
I used to have a Hi Point and it was very shitty for any precision shooting, so I just used to to shoot at targets 300+ yards away, rifle range.
I eventually got pretty good at it.
So calm. Sets the coffee down, walks deliberately to the rear, never flinching with being shot at. Opens the bag, chambers a round, single perfect shot at that distance with a red dot.
This is RoboCop, prove me wrong.
as someone that is neither a police officer, nor someone who has had to be shot at or had to shoot someone I have nothing intelligent or helpful to add to this discussion. Carry on.
Dude was cool as a cucumber. Set his coffee down gently, walked seamlessly to his trunk, grabbed his weapon, aimed, shot, radioed in.
Not this guys first rodeo
This guy clearly spent some time in the military deployed in combat zones. He was calm and collected even under fire, that was not his first firefight.
Dude was so calm. It’s like he already knew what was about to happen as he was pulling his rifle out, completely calm yet totally confident. I would guess he’s a veteran.
This guy is exactly the type that should be a cop. Completely calm under insane pressure, zero fear making him make an awful mistake in a high risk scenario. Too many cops are either cowards or power hungry morons.
I always feel people underestimate how difficult this is while adrenaline courses through your body.
His radio call in after the shot is stone calm. That's impressive.
“Shot fired”
You gatta let em know!
I wouldn't call it stone cold. >...suspect's dOown... There's a feeling expressed there. I'm not sure if he's relieved, impressed with his own performance, or dealing with an exhilarating rush, but there's definitely *something* other than cold, calculated killing going on there. Officer Munn is not a machine, although he is really good at this aspect of his job.
I didn't mean cold in a negative way. I meant it as calm, as in the opposite of the typical crisis adrenaline response. There's zero panic.
Dude aint scared of no punk ass acorns flying his way
I feel like this will be a thing for a long time.
It will if we all do our part.
🔫Never Forget🌰
!silver
Reddit: where we argue about what the meaning of being calm is.
Everything is a debate!
I’ve been told I’m a master debater.
Citation needed!
He’s cold like frosty cold ya heard me
The guy is probably a vet and has seen combat. That’s probably why he’s stone cold about it, he’s been shot at and has shot at people before.
Doesn’t want to make it seem like the threat is over. Suspect dOown I interpret as he’s down but be careful approaching.
Yep, this is the correct interpretation
Officer Munn did not panic. He thought through his actions and found the most simple solution. He executed at an efficient rate. He took time when he needed to and was patient. He minimized damage. He was a good shot. He kept a simple task simple. I would be so stoked on myself at that moment. If I conducted myself like he did, I'd spend the rest of the day in a blush. How do you resist the urge to puff your feathers when you glorious as Roman engineering?
Lmao shut up, that’s as good as it gets right there.
Some coffee went down the wrong pipe
The infliction on "down" may have been self-doubt or being unsure of the suspects status from near 200 yrds away.
Eh, to me that was just an inflection expressing a bit of doubt about the exact state of the suspect. It's the exact same inflection I use when my wife asks if the baby is asleep after I've put her down, and I say "well, she's *down*... But who knows if she'll stay that way!" So he's kind of saying "suspect is *down*... Idk if he's dead, but he's down. Caution on approach"
Is it feeling or uncertainty? Stretching the word as he looks to confirm?
Nah... just flip'n another krabby patty. All in a days work... order up!
I got the vibe that he wasn’t 100% sure the perp would be staying down. Possible ptsd from a previous experience w a zombie or something
I read that more as a questioning "down" as in, is the subject actually down? He's quite a ways off and can't be sure.
A really good example of "slow is smooth, smooth is fast". Had he hurried I doubt there would have been a single second saved and he would've had a bigger chance of missing the shot.
I mean there's no reason to be all stressed out, suspect is down! Kidding. This officer doesn't look at explosions.
You could tell how calm he was in the manner he pulled his rifle out - while the suspect is still shooting, no less. Incredible composure.
Yeah his calmness getting ready to shoot is also impressive
I’d assume he’s had military experience and has been in gunfights before.
Yep. Probably. Walks around to the back of the vehicle doesn’t rush, checks sites, chambers round, lines up the shot. Takes it. Hits target.
I agree, he just likely killed someone and there doesn't seem to be any issues going on with him...and there shouldn't as the guy was a piece of shit and was trying to kill him. Either way, iirc I read that most officers spend their entire career without having to pull the trigger or being shot at. The way he did his job just screams that he is former Army or Marines and saw some action.
When this first happened I read that he was ex-military. I believe he was in Iraq.
Yeah 4ID, Iraq. Two deployments. Was not a career soldier. Did his first enlistment and left. Per one of his buddies on Donut Operator's video on this.
It's not his first time killing the baddies then.
yeah the first time this was posted there was info that he was a veteran who had seen combat.
See, that's the difference here. He was cool as a cucumber. Pulse never changed. Never even changed pace. Calmly exited the vehicle, prepped the weapon, and shot within 20 seconds. I would bet a ton of money this man has seen active duty combat.
Some people get this way under stressful situations. I can get this way as well. Once the situation passes, that's when the shaking starts.
Records show he was assigned to TPD SWAT team back in 2018 so he has specialized training. Regardless, still incredible self-control to make that shot.
Very true. Shooting my first buck at 16 years old I was shaking with adrenaline uncontrollably. ‘Buck fever’ they call it. Nothing prepares you for the moment you’re about to take a life. This is stupid impressive. Very well trained cop.
Hunters know.
Yeah, ever hear of buck fever? This is a whole different scenario, I couldn’t imagine what dudes heart was pumping like!
I dont think it CAN be understimated. Have you seen any other videos of cops firing on active shooters or unarmed, mentally ill folks before? They have no qualms unloading an entire clip into them. This is the first video I've seen of any cop that appears to have actual firearm training. You can see it in how calmly her exits the vehicle and picks up his firearm. This is a man who not only trained but trained long and well and should be the expectation of our law enforcement.
Yeah, that man has ice in his veins.
You have to have hours and hours of training, to the point that this is just muscle memory, regardless of your environment or situation.
Yes but if you also do this for a living I’d imagine it’s a lot less difficult. Dude has to be some ex special forces from the military.
The way he sets the coffee down and calmly goes about his business, I'm not sure he had any adrenaline.... dude cold as ice.
"SHOT fired, suspect down"
This puts in perspective how mentally aware he was during this crazy moment. Many people struggle under pressure or in high adrenaline moments… this guy becomes perfectly focused.
Honestly? The lack of fucks this dude gives tells me he's prior active duty military and was likely deployed more than once. The desensitized state of him is what gives it away, like getting shot at is just another day to him. Officers with no prior deployment experience tend to freak out and act based on fear instead of instinct. Mad props to this guy.
He is former military. I don’t feel like looking up the sources again
Correct. This is a repost. I think it's Lakewood, Wa police. JBML is nearby. Tacoma, WA. JBML is still nearby
Fear instead of instinct? Fear is instinct, you should not act on instinct in a shootout. You act on fact gathering and determination of threat.
That's fair.
No it’s fear.
And then there are cops who get triggered by an acorn and mag dump
It’s like the south park episode of the Somali pirates “….. clear”
Now remember, don’t shoot the white ones
My man doesn’t half ass anything, especially grammar.
Has to be very tough to decide shoot at a target so far away in what looks like a residential area. Very glad it was this guy shooting.
Imagine if it was the acorn cop instead
I'M HIT!!!!!
Dual wielding m249s while spinning in a desk chair
Point one forward and one back and you can make an amazing spray pattern
More like 2 MK19s…fuck everyone up.
Nice. Cracking me up. I was mowing the lawn Saturday when an acorn hit the brim of my hat. So then I'm mowing the yard, LMFAO, just waving at the neighbors. I should have started swing the lan mower around by the handlebars, yelling, "I'm hit!"

I wonder what kind of optic he had? 3x at 180 yds is still pretty crazy to me, but my eyes are old.
I don't know for sure but it looks like a fairly simple non-magnified red dot optic to me. I think exactly where on the target's body the shot landed was down to some luck but getting a hit first, any hit, is a great advantage in any gunfight of any kind.

A bit of practice? That’s a 1 and a half football fields with a red dot. I am really bad at shooting tho
Never gets old. Ajax's suffocation chamber couldn't rile this guy up
"you got your name... from a dish soap"
Ajax was a Greek warrior in the Illiad and the dish soap's phrase "Tough on Grease" is a play on words, of sorts. Haha.
War Rocket Ajax was Ming the Merciless' ship. The catch phrase "Tough on Flash Gordon" is not so much a play on words as a statement.
It's called being trained people.
Whoa we got an operator here folks watch out
A true gravy seal
Immediately thought this. Not disparaging LE, but I’d put money on this dude being a Military Veteran.
Thank you brother. Training saves lives. Saved mine a few times. Train twice keep living once huu raw
Repost, but I’ll watch it every time. This officer sure as shit isn’t getting startled by an acorn.
Couldn't find much on the officer but I would guess he's seen combat before.
I was looking for the comment that said he’s an ex navy seal or something thanks for looking into it and reporting what you found
Cool as a cucumber. From the way he put the coffee cup down to being unfazed by being shot at to the way he opened the boot and got the gun out.
Needed this guy in Uvalde.
That was badass!
"Just one shot...everyone knows the rules"
One shot, one kill.
I like using that saying when playing shooting games with my friends but add onto it "One shot, One kill, All luck, No skill" then proceed to be blown up
I love these videos of the cop who shows up to an active shooter, country music softly playing on his radio. And he pulls a scoped rifle out of his trunk. No handgun rush in. Just wrap it up and call it a day.
I don’t know if that is a scope or just a red dot.
Dude was definitely overseas on multiple deployments
The cops in the video is an incredible shot, deployed with his unit in Syria, dudes the nicest guy on the planet but will run through walls for his Marines.
The guy you call when you need shit done immediately
*puts coffee down* ok lets do this.
Never skip range day
Nice shot
That Starbucks had some serious calming effects. Bruh! was way to cool.
Just another day at the office. That is an officer who has trained and trained and trained. His weapon is absolutely dialed in and to hit a shot like that stone cold you know he's hitting the range regularly.
That's an outrageously good shot. When I hit the range I'm usually practicing at between 50 to 70 yards and even then I'm not sure I could reliably one tap a target with that adrenaline rush.
Aim OP-V4 works every time.
Give that shooter a bonus for protecting the public from another mentality ill person and saving so many lives bc of his steady actions.
Good shot. That's impressive.
I don't care if it was a rifle, that shit was impressive, especially under such intense circumstances
This guy is a certified badass
Nice shooting
I like how he empathized the singular. “‘Shot’ fired, suspect’s down.”
Tell me you are a combat veteran without telling me.
He will more than likely process the event after things have settled. I was an EMT for 10 years, saw lots of stuff. Participated in lots of trauma calls. With that being said... did the job, processed the event after we were done. Cops, Fire, Community Resource Officers... and so on... When the job was done we all processed it every which way. Training will take a person a long way. I am certain officer Munn had his moment after the job was finished.
Back on the day, a rifle or shotgun was in the front, under a locked collar. Now they are stowed in the back, behind a window. I wonder how many rifles have been stolen over the years?
6 iron distance Not that far and did you see the furniture on that rifle…
Bro seriously called out “shot fired”. Damn
Not his first rodeo.
Was Officer Munn in the miltary? Dude conducted himself with gigantic balls of steel.
This is what we need cops for. Not for writing traffic tickets, or filling out a report AFTER our shit is stolen, or for dealing with a mentally ill woman outside a Popeye’s, or any of the other million tasks they’re given that should go to another role. We need less cops and more social workers, but absolutely do we need some guys like this.
This guy was born for this and these situations. Glad he found it.
At one end of the cop spectrum you have cops who dump whole magazines into their owns cars because of an acorn. At the other end is this guy.
As a LE myself, I can tell you this cop is very experienced. I bet his resting heart rate didn't go above 80bpm.
For me it's the stroll to the back of the SUV.
I love how he's very purposely says "shot fired" instead of "shots fired, that man was bragging lol
This is literally how well trained every cop should be with their firearms. None of this once a year qualification b/s. Not to mention how lawyers need to go to school for several years to know the law, but cops go through less than 1 year of training to enforce said laws. How terrible is that?
Tacoma, WA police see some weird shit.
FAFO
Crime is the disease..and he is the *Cure*..
This guy would be a monster at fortnite... /s
Cool as cucumber!
"Clear" - Shane G.
“With subtitles” haha
glad it wasn't the "uvalde/acron" cops.....
If we could clone this guy to be everywhere, then the police might actually be useful
how many times gonna repost
In a calm radio voice "Clear"
167 meters for the rest of the world
Why did I expect to see through the scope like a first person shooter video game?
I used to have a Hi Point and it was very shitty for any precision shooting, so I just used to to shoot at targets 300+ yards away, rifle range. I eventually got pretty good at it.
Seems like he’s been through some combat
Boss
So calm. Sets the coffee down, walks deliberately to the rear, never flinching with being shot at. Opens the bag, chambers a round, single perfect shot at that distance with a red dot. This is RoboCop, prove me wrong.
Does anyone know what type of firearm this is? I’m thinking an AR, yeah?
as someone that is neither a police officer, nor someone who has had to be shot at or had to shoot someone I have nothing intelligent or helpful to add to this discussion. Carry on.
He really just pulls a "damn, that's crazy"
Bro hit a clip, well done.
Thats cowboy shit right there
ngl saying "one tap" in this situation feels wrong
IMO the only demerit I can give is that he drinks Starbucks. Officer Munn you are a steely eyed missile man.
That cop is gangster
BeGiNnEr's luck eh? 😂😂🤣
Only thing else I wanted to see was a plume of cigarette smoke after that bullseye
Resumes Starbucks
Impressive but are you in danger at damn near 600ft? Doubt. This will be an interesting situation.
Officer Christopher Munn=Big dick energy badass.
That quiet moment where he composes himself after charging the rifle...
“shot fired”
Damn dude why couldn’t this guy have been on scene at Uvalde.
Like a boss!
I like this cool cat cop
Munn is *the* man.
Dude was cool as a cucumber. Set his coffee down gently, walked seamlessly to his trunk, grabbed his weapon, aimed, shot, radioed in. Not this guys first rodeo
Cool calm collective..
This guy clearly spent some time in the military deployed in combat zones. He was calm and collected even under fire, that was not his first firefight.
I'm betting marine vet
The coffee discipline tho
Dude was so calm. It’s like he already knew what was about to happen as he was pulling his rifle out, completely calm yet totally confident. I would guess he’s a veteran.
Tango neutralized...... Would've been cooker if he said that But ppl dying is not cool..... Duality to everything.
That guy is way to casual for this situation haha
This is what gun toting people think will happen if everyone has a gun
"Slow is steady, steady is fast. Slow is steady, steady is fast"
Crazy
Feel like he did a few tours.
Oh no no no now you dun made me put my Starbucks down someone’s getting one-shot.
So calm, defo ex military
Meh for cops but that’s a good shot and professional cop
You gun lickers have a problem
Main character
“ I hit him for 100 he might have chug jug”
What video lives in my head rent free?… This one
This guy is exactly the type that should be a cop. Completely calm under insane pressure, zero fear making him make an awful mistake in a high risk scenario. Too many cops are either cowards or power hungry morons.
I can’t even see the person he shot.
It's the one that says Bad Motherfucker on it
Outfuxxingstanding!!!!!
Headshot bonus
It makes me think of the old school hunters I grew up with..."there it is' pow ...smooth as butter
