Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC - TV series recommendation?

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

In my 7 years with APD, I was involved in only 1 shooting up close and 
personal. I was driving, chasing 2 S&L robbers and we were going Code 3 @ 80 
mph. The guy in the passenger's seat stuck a .22 pistol out the window and 
pointed it at us while we pulled along side. Bad move on his part. My partner 
grabbed the shotgun from the holder between us and racked a round. His 1st shot 
blew out the rear tire of the suspects' car. In the pictures I took after it 
was all over, you can see 9 holes in the rear fender where the OO-buckshot hit. 
The next round hit the passenger full?in the face, killing both he and the 
driver with that 1 shot. Not a pretty sight. Since I did a lot of photo work 
for the Her-Ex, I always kept my Nikon in my briefcase on the back seat, and I 
still have a couple of my photos from that day.?This may sound strange to those 
who haven't experienced this kind of situation, but when I got home and stopped 
shaking, I showered, ate a great steak, and had some of the best sex I ever 
had. I was so jacked up that I couldn't even sleep that night. Later I talked 
to some other officers that had experienced police shootings?that resulted in 
the same outcome and they said that?they felt the same way that I did. God, it 
was great to be alive.?

No need to 'Book 'em Dano!' Yer pal, Bubba

I think the 1st movie I saw that seemed realitic as far as people getting 
shot was Private Ryan followed by Band of Brothers.  A hit was shown as if a 
buckt of blood had exploded a la S Peckinpaw but a puff of cloth exploding 
from the jacket filling of the person hit.  And as ou said, like cutting the 
puppets' wires - drop like a sack of potatoes.

I heard the cast of Pvt Ryan spent a week in the field under the guidance of 
a combat vet whose plan was to show what life in the field was really like. 
After 24 hours of rain the crew was ready to quit but T Hanks got them 
together and asked if they really thought they knew what was being taught.

They all stayed the full week but weren;t very happy.  It's pretty rough 
camping out for a week when you;re a millionaire used to a life of luxury. 
But the result was worth it IMHO.
