The above link is a classic dashcam video of a Texas DPS trooper in Refugio (say it "Ruh-fury-oh" not "Ruh-fuge-ee-oh")
making a traffic stop, having to deal with 3 BG's surrounding him, being drawn upon by the BG, and operating
in a heroic manner.
When the bad guy draws on him, the trooper whirls away, while drawing, begins firing, and immediately hits the BG
despite the trooper's awkward body movements. The trooper at one point retreats into the dark night, away from his cruiser,
but when he returns to the car, the BG shows up in his rearview mirror!! The trooper and BG engage in another gunfight
and the BG is killed. Excellent police response! It could have gone bad for the trooper anywhere during this encounter.

Calif dashcam: Gangbanger uses AR-15, flanks, kills deputy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6EKPa_-aKg
The above link is 7 minutes, 30 seconds long and has some TV news reporters on each end, but is primarily
the dashcam video of a Yolo County, CA deputy sheriff, Tony Diaz. The LEO ID's a gangbanger driving a blue
Ford Taurus that had been involved in a drive-by shooting.
The LEO attempts a felony stop, but the BG takes off at speeds of ~ 100 MPH. After the BG takes a dirt road,
his car is obstructed by dust, and the LEO loses visual on him for a little while. The BG footbails and the LEO
is out of his car. Since the LEO believes that the BG escaped to the right of the cruiser, he is standing by his
driver's door, shining his lights to the right.
What the LEO didn't realize is that the gangbanger (Nortenos) had exited LEFT, had flanked the deputy, and
the BG opened fire with his AR-15. 17 shots were fired in 3.9 seconds. The LEO returned 3 handgun rounds,
and was still ambulatory. He had called for help on the radio, but it took 12 minutes for other LEO's to rescue
him. He was still ambulatory and walked to his fellow officers' cars, but died at the hospital.
The officer was hit in the chest since at least one round pierced his Kevlar vest. The commentators on the action
state that the officer had his hand on his wound, but at that moment the LEO seems to be holding his hip, not his chest.
It's unfortunate that the dust on the road was able to give the BG a tactical advantage in killing the officer.
The gangbanger was found guilty and sentenced to death, but his appeals will go on forever.
