This video shows a drive by shooting. A car full of young men drive, and murder someone standing on the curb and drive away. They video their crime. This shot clip has several lessons for us to learn. The first lesson is that these criminals perform their crime quickly. If you get a drive by shooting call chances are the bad guys are a long way away by the time two or three minutes pass. So don't send everyone straight towards the scene. Try and get a direction of travel from the reporting party and head there if you can.
The other learning point is the suspects are very cruel and vicious. They make sure the victim is dead. They have only one goal, and that's murder. There is no personal gain, this is not about robbery. It is about killing. These are very dangerous criminals. Use your patrol rifle or shotgun when you make the car stop. Have back up with you if you can. Don't go in foot pursuit of them if you can avoid it.
Finally, remember these people took video of their crime. When doing the investigation take every video chip, memory card, memory stick, cellular phone, computer, iPad that they have with them or in their car. It may have a record of their crime. Check social network sites like Facebook to see if they are posting about the murder. You may be lucky and find the criminals have convicted themselves, that's what the SGT Says.

There's good news in this video. 50% of the shooters had weapons that - due most likely to operator error - malfunctioned and the shooter was unable or unwilling to clear the jam during the incident.
They have ruthlessness and total disregard for the law on their side.
We have training and mind set on ours.
We can prevail, even against hardened killers like these.
You are right P&S, we can prevail.
