A SWAT team in upstate New Yawk is being mocked as an example of the difference between military and police wannabe training after an officer was captured peering through a ass-backwards sight on his
Mark Kelly style
combat rifle.
As users on the military Reddit were quick to point out
[once they quit laughing]
when the image was posted, the reverse sight makes it effectively useless. Users mocked the SWAT officers training and many some went so far as to question the motives of some of the men serving in local law enforcement.
The officer is using a 'military style' assault weapon with a close quarters combat sight that costs roughly $500. 'It's disturbing
but humorous
to think that 1) none of his
alleged
buddies corrected it, and 2) he's in a real-life situation with his optic on ass-backwards, which means he's never fired that rifle with the optic on it, which means it isn't zeroed and he thought it was OK to show up to a gunfight with an unzeroed weapon,' wrote one Reddit user. |
