Officer disarmed when faced with a modern sporting rifle. One responding officer to armed robbers? At least he drew them outside. Wasn't there so can't judge him but where was his backup?! Edited December 27, 2012 by gnmwilliams

That's a SKS with a aftermarket synthetic stock and 30 rd mag.

Still modern to some, and to some a C&R.

At the end of the day, the officer got to go home to his family.  I am not sure how I would have reacted, but I am glad to know he made it out alive.

There has to be more to this story.

Something inside me is telling me we haven't heard the last of these criminals.

 

The criminals had to assume back up officers were on the way, yet took the extra time to disarm a single LEO and take his service weapon?

 

Something doesn't smell right in Denmark. There's got to be more to the story even though his was out gunned, and why was he out gunned?
