"In all, officials fired thirty-six shots in Macias' direction. He was struck in the foot." Sorry but that made me laugh. Thirty six shots and he was only shot in the foot.

I saw this on another network. It said that after all of that, all charges were dropped because the friends and relatives didn’t want to press charges against him....??? That’s just nuts. 😮

If someone causes a response like this, there needs to be responsibility &a accountability, please

36 shots fired and the suspect was hit once in the foot? Someone needs more time at the range.

35 missed shots, officer leaves his weapon just in someone's yard, and the victim is the one who disarmed his friend. Great police work. 🙃

I love that you show the good and the bad of cops, you don't just show one side.

1:37 These brilliant selfless cops are like your immune system visiting you from another dimension to save your life, imagine if they had not gone into rescue these tortured women!!

That's insane 37 Round Shot and they hit him in the foot time for some retraining

[notmoose]

All charges were dropped if you can believe it! "Albuquerque police confirmed Wednesday Macias was later released from jail, and all charges against him have been dropped at the request of the victims."

Thirty-six shots- with several rifles, and they hit him in the FOOT. Marksmanship training is sorely needed...

[chrisb]

Officers fires 30 bullets at this guy and didnt hit him aside from in the foot. A few of them had rifles with a scope attached. How do you miss hitting someone that many times?

[stevek]

36 shots and he was hit in the foot? Those cops must be ex-Stormtroopers.

[warrior]

That many long guns with red dots and they only hit him in the foot once out of 36 shots?!?!

[rajun]

36 rounds and the dude was only shot in a foot? These cops either purposely missed the target or they need to go back to the firing range for practice.

[thebensman]

Macias should have been arrested for that haircut! Seriously though, SO glad no officers were injured and hopefully the perp’s friend, mom and aunt are okay. Hey kids, please say nope to dope!

[kevinbrouwer]

35 missed shots with a hostage!? Excellent marksmanship

[ExHaleDream]

36 Rounds were fired and all they could hit was his foot? WOW!

[franmellor]

Can't believe what goes on in this crazy crazy world

[chef_hood]

These cops do not need to be praised!!!! They shot 36 times to only hit him in the foot ONCE!!!! On top of the incompetence of them to be all bunched up behind a car where they could all get hit if he just shot in the general direction 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ on top of at the end the officer with the long gun literally leaves his firearm unattended while he jumps the fence…. HORRIBLE COPS and I’m PRO LAW

[hankgs]

36 shots fired by Police and only one hit his foot... There are issues in this Department that need to be addressed. Starting with the Chief and his top administrators- They should all be demoted and / or replaced.
