Anyone remember that photo of the female officer a while back responding to an emergency with her AR's magazine in backwards? Well it looks like we've got another one.

Incredible, what the??? There's a bunch more that could be said, but I'll just stop at that Keith.

We have a word for people like this in the Army: POG

'It's disturbing to think that 1) none of his buddies corrected it, and 2) he's in a real-life situation with his optic on 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. And if he's never fired it, and doesn't know how the sight works he's NOT trained to use it.

These are the people the anti-gun "experts" tell us are better trained to handle their weapons in a tight situation than us amateurs, who should leave the defense of our lives and property to the "professionals". God help us!

As long as they are there to ridicule people who follow the law backwards, then they deserve it for stupid stuff too.

Maybe it's not an EOTech, but a different sight? It's tough to to tell cause you can't really enlarge that pic, but I've seen sights that are shaped like that before. I just hope for his sake it is and it's not a backwards EOTech that was never zeroed

Edit: Nevermind, I followed the links to the Reddit posting and found a larger picture of it, definitely an EOTech.

Do we know it's a real picture and not a staged one with models and props?

Alleged to be from a SWAT team called out to a crime scene.... <broken link removed> is the news article the photo came from

Yes, but that doesn't mean that's where the picture is from. They could have just searched their archives for a picture of a guy with a gun and slapped it on the article.
