Thumbs up

Wonder what caliber LVPD uses? Probably something with more punch than a 9mm judging by video?

I would think that shooting through ones own windshield is a last resort- the glass particles and noise could be debilitating to the officer.

I see a business opportunity for a patented windshield porthole!

A roof mounted turret with a helmet like on the AH-64 Apache would mitigate the noise aspect better though. Perhaps one in 5.56 or 7.62 instead of 30mm?

All I could find..so it's one of either 9mm, .40 or .45..
My guess though is .40 caliber.

Waiting for the news reports of how the police used excessive force followed by interviews of family members saying how they were such nice guys and didn't deserve to be victims of such severe police brutality.
