someone dont know how to properly load her weapon. glad she aint my partner. hope she gets some "remedial" type training.
 
she should pay alittle more attention during training. what i want to know is why is the mag staying in place? it should fall out, if it has round in it.
 
What's that in the middle of the pic?

Looks like someone threw a snowball at her.

(Obviously I'm not a gun guy...I woulda never noticed the magazine thing).
 
I think it's that way for areodynamics, less wind resistance when she is running.:D

The photoshop job on the magazine? Ever try to load an AR mag backwards? ;)

Yeah, I was wondering about that too... :)

I *think* I stand corrected...the proportion of magazine sticking out is too great for it to be 'seated'. Spinning an AR mag around would only give you about 1/2-3/4" that fits inside... I'm wondering what the other guy is though...how the hell is it held in at that point? Heh.

A small amount of contact between the magazine and well *might* be enough to hold it in there for a bit before gravity takes over. Maybe.
 
Magazine in backwords, showing half her body above her cover. Aiming over her cover instead of around it. A whole list of No No's that in my Army would get you a slap up beside the helmet. Ohoops no helmet or vest. How about a boot in the arse.
She ought to cut back on the Testosterone injections and put her brain in gear. Or she likely won't survive for long.
It was likely a photo op. and staged for the camera, I hope. Some wise guy, jammed a mag in backwords (somehow) and handed her the rifle for the photo. Sounds like something I would pull.

Wow, you could tell that she's in that kind of danger just from that photo? Holy shit, I need to give you more credit than I do. You're GOOD. I'm also impressed at your knowledge of the Marble Falls PD's equipment issue. Only you knew that she left her issued vest and helmet inside the patrol car. Thank you for explaining the situation to us, Herr Dummkopf. :D
 
Gist of my comments were, you don't live to be my age by taking chances you don't have to. Bad tactics, are bad tactics, no matter what force you are a part of.
I learned a very valuable lesson in Nam one day. A highschool buddy (Leutenant/Westpoint), who always had a little more balls than brains, jumped up and yelled follow me and promptly got shot through the forehead. His name is Robert Sheridan, his father had the medal.
I promised myself that day to show no more body than absolutely necessary to hostile fire. Trained my troops the same way. Worked for me.

Sorry about your friend. Gist of MY comments was that you can't look at a very small section of the overall picture and ASSume you know what's going on. ;)

ASSuming can get you in a world of chit. Buddy of mine stepped up on top of a bunker to have a smoke and watch the sunset. Got his right arm blown off with a 12.5 mm round. His name was Richard Stokes, he commited suicide a couple of years later, the VA wasn't much help and he gave up. A moment of dumbass, can cause you a lifetime of grief.
I try to learn form other peoples mistakes, it's a whole lot less painfull that way. :)
I also noticed what appears to be an extra finger on her right hand. My eyes aren't all that good anymore.
