Hmmmmmm.... When the police are better armed than the civilians... Hmmmmm.... So you are saying police vs. civilians is the issue? Don't you mean the police vs. the bad guys? Isn't that what we are missing? Aren't they trying to be up one on the criminals? Do we recall Los Angeles or any other scenario where the cops were out gunned? How many arm chair quarterbacks watched that and said the cops can't hit he broad side of a barn? They didn't have the right weapons. So how do we even the score without staying less than or equal to the citizens? Does that even make freaken sense? Ok, so a pot growing turd... Not the best or worse scenario. But without analyzing the whole story, (cause I just don't want to), what makes you think it could not have been worse. Criminals have been known to do worse protecting less. Without going into details, I had a case that involved a major pot growing fugitive that was wanted by the FBI.... Major growing technology, tons of weed, etc. If you saw the sh:t, pardon the expression, he was growing, do you think he would not try out gun a couple uniforms?

Vlad, I'll just comment on the first paragraph of your post because there are too many variables in the post. No matter how large or small the force is, the demographic will dictate the way people feel about leo... Most honest citizens have no reason to fear them in most cases. But when in areas of so called oppression, an leo is very rarely anyone's friend in the civilian's eye. It will remain that way as long as there are people who like to insight hate and/or just hate in general. I just had a discussion last week about his. Misery loves company and this goes at any level. It's hard to please people no matter good or bad. In turn, they make everyone miserable around them. The mislead and misinform. Again... It's demographics for the most part. Big cities vs the burbs for instance. In my town, we have a blacked out Humvee and a tactical unit. Outside of parades, I've never seen it in use thank goodness. Along with that are good weapons for the all so misunderstood, "just in case moment"..., I honestly think in my demographic, the only one's hating leo in any capacity are the ones that felt they were done wrong or have done wrong. For the most part, they are/were guilty. And even decades ago, hte were the kids that loved the police and others that thought it was kewl to call us pigs. Call it bad up bringing, lack of education, whatever. If people are not corrected or educated properly, things will never change. One of my in-laws is a good example. Good family, good kid. But the kid was never allowed to view anything police did or learn how to interact with them. After many arguments, I gave up and prayed the kid would grow up smarter than the parents. This is what I mean about variables.... Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HDTypos courtesy Apple...

I'm by no means referring to "the world".... I'm talking here in the U.S.... We are more safe now.... But if I get some the drift in this thread, people think we are over powered... I don't see that. Am I reading it right? Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

As far as yester-year and today, our avenues and boulevards for the most part, are no longer dirt. In other words, today's society has surpassed the days of Barney Fife and Gomer style. Police, their gear and their tactics need to rise to the occasion. They need to be tougher and stronger than the bad guys as we all need to be. When there are more people involved in the decisions and more tactical tools, there stands to be a higher ratio of problems. Like was said in this thread, everyone is human and humans make mistakes. We can only hope to learn by them. And I know for one, that I do not like making mistakes. Will I realize I made one? Hopefully... Will I make the same one again? I hope not. But sh-t happens and as long as Murphy's Law is around, mistakes will continue. But in no way, shape or form, should we back peddle our technology or methodology. We just need to keep learning and perfecting. Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

Suppose to be so I thought. Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

It's not the team that makes the decision. The chain of command does. Intel comes from the top. The team performs as directed. The team leader either has the intel and/or has it passed down to him/her be it correct or not. Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

Dude, I'm literally in tears laughing. I had to start rereading this 3 times because I couldn't see. I've made more typos and corrections now because I keep laughing. Me and you would be a helluva team. I love being a ball buster and this just fits. On a more serious note, thank you for your service and for standing up for that vet. If it were me, I'd be arrested because that puke would not show disrespect the second time... He'd be taking a concrete nap! I hate this type of disrespect, (not to say I like any type of disrespect). Especially to the old timers. I love sitting and talking with them. People fail to realize they are the true history makers and heroes. Soon they will be all gone and the stories will be no more! Salute!!!

Dunno if they still do, but their bayonets use to be laser sharpened. Suckers could split hairs. Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

Have you looked at the M4 prices today? Paid about 1800 and with everything I put into it, is now over 2 Gs.... So you better really start saving. I don't regret it one bit though... Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

No birdshot.... But all types of loads.. 00 buck...etc... Buckshot, slugs, etc. mags had a lil kick... Was still not bad. Maybe my M4 handles it better? But I could have shot it all day w/o a complaint...

I can do that.... Not worried about surface damage... I'm going to resurface it most likely in the fall. I'll pick up some 2x4s and 4x4s.... Always good to have some spare lumber around. Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

Yep, did all that already... Nobody has them nearby. They say they are too expensive to buy then rent... Thanx... Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

Oh and house is circa 1940.. Had queen size water bed years ago and didn't budge. In fact, when I was ripping rooms apart, the freaken joists and studs where thick and like iron. Couldn't penetrate them without pre drilling nails.
