Thats how they train you in the service. Charge the ambush. +1 internets subby. +1 million for this gutsy cop.

God love that lady! Her brass balls should be polished daily by those who attack law enforcement for doing their jobs! If not for her, we will never know what the final damage might have been.

For a woman, mother of two, and of that size, to be so selfless is beyond comprehension, or praise. Even if they go overboard on her heroism, she is to be respected, and honored for her actions.

She was just doing her job.

What is this, a tipping thread?

I was hearing too, that people with medical training, at the first sound of the shots, headed towards the shots to render whatever first aid they could, and rush people to the hospital.
Their actions probably saved quite a few lives as well.

First responders do this. It's not any less heroic for being part of the day job, though.

I'll offer Thursday polishing services. Let's cover the whole week.

Chaz Bono must be so farkin' jealous.

So...someone remind me again...why don't we have women in all the combat billets in the military?

Newt Gingrich thought that their naughty bits would get all clogged up if they had to go out and fight.

What a nuisance!

Oh yeah. That nitwit. He'd rather have me -- who barely hits the side of a barn with a 30-round clip -- protecting him than Sgt. Mighty Mouse in this story.

Cop who took down Ft. Hood shooter ran INTO the line of fire, huge brass balls ovaries clanking the whole way

This Ovaricious* young lady needs a farking statue built for her.

*Ovaricious: (over-ish-us): pertaining to women with brass ovaries, because silly boys, chicks don't have balls!

I came here to post that. Leaving satisfied.

I hope a picture of this WOMAN is shown repeatedly and continuously on every TV news show in the Middle East.

(Except in Israel, where she will probably have a battalion unit named after her).

The word is "bodacious".

I know, right? I was unsurprised to read she had been a soldier as well.

Some people are born to do this kind of job. This lady is one example.

If you are really awesome at staying level-headed and shooting the other side in a firefight, I don't see why anything like gender should matter.

You mean, unlike the cops at Columbine? Sorry, someone has to say it

Subby didn't even read the story.

Approves.

/any excuse for hot IDF girls.

"Sergeant Munley - a woman with a fierce love of hunting, surfing and other outdoor sports - bolted from her car, yanked her pistol out and shot at Major Hasan. He turned on her and began to fire. She ran toward him, continuing to fire, and both she and Major Hasan went down with several bullet wounds..."

I may have to rethink my comments about Texans. Damn.

Meh, pretty standard. Live fire pistol accuracy drops significantly around 25 ft.

If you're closer than that, point and unload everything.
Farther than that, either run for cover or sprint directly at them.

That chick has serious she-balls. Or ovaries of steel.
