BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Boynton Beach Police have released video of a shootout between two of their officers and a bank robbery suspect. It happened June 12th and started with a chase on Federal Highway. Police spotted Calvin Wallace's red Lincoln Town Car after getting word to be on the lookout. Wallace, 52, crashed and then it appears he opened fire on officers Chris Munro and Eric Reynolds. Reynolds was shot in the foot. Wallace later died. Police say they released the video after a review by the State Attorney's office found the shooting was justified. We spoke to former Boca Police Chief Andrew Scott, who says the video is not only a perfect training tool for police officers, but a help to the public. There are often vigorous public debates over whether an officer should have fired. But with an ironclad witness - the camera - Scott and state attorneys say there shouldn't be a debate in this case about whether officers acted appropriately. "The public is getting a fair shake because it has that independent third party, eyewitness account that can't be altered," said Scott.

The bald officer needlessly exposed himself, and multiple times. Poor tactics to be sure, but the shoot was justified...

@Biskup True, but all the training in the world still cant prepare you for the adrenalin rush that comes from being in a life or death situation.Some people no matter what just go into auto-pilot when shit hits the fan.

@coyoteentrails agreed, unless you are there, instinct kicks in. In this case instinct would say "I must kill him first before he kills me" so he rushes trying to take the guy out first. In either case just glad to see the officer survive and the baddy go down. I hate and don't watch the vids of the apposite.

That 3rd cop who pulled the other cop back was doing a great job. He remembered his training. Let the bad guy have a chance to die before you rush in and get shot yourself.

If this happened in another country, the title would be "Cops chase bank robber in circles around his car" (With Benny Hill music theme)

Had to re-watch several times to see it, but between 00:35 and 00:36, the perp hangs his arm out the car door and opens fire. He got what he deserved.

No, he's no coward, I agree however he will end up dead if he keeps responding to gun fights by showing he's ready to be on "Dancing with the Stars". He had no cover or concealment until his partner grabbed him and dragged him to it.

@Excel
If they are put in a position to shoot someone, they had better be 'shooting to kill.' There's a reason it's called deadly force.

After the adrenaline was worn off, the officer might experience depression. I hope his family was able to stand by him and help him through that difficult shooting.

Glad the other office grabbed him and brought him back to reality.
Prancing around back and forth with no cover at all....he forgot all of his training.

Funny how they don't like it rolling when they're doing something wrong...

I never saw the suspect with a gun. Shooting looks unjustified to me.

@ShiverRiver You can't see the gun in the blurry video but you can see flashes from the gun when fired at 00:36
