soon, in order to keep up, we are going to need to know how to make and use improvised electromagnetic pulse weaponry. I am not joking. Guns will be obsolete with little machines are running/ flying after you.
Manatee County Sheriff’s Dept., has been using ceramic plate inserts in their vest for some time and each cruiser has an AR-15 in the trunk. For a high crime area like Miami-Dade their a little slow.
Who are the police at war with?
Criminals use handguns for 99+% of all firearms-related crimes. And they are even worse shots than the police.
It is not that the police are very good shots either. In real gunfights, police hit their target about 1 shot in 5 attempts.
That is a lot of stray rounds in a gunfight. Bystanders had better get under cover or get out of the area quickly. It's a good thing most gunfights do not last very long.
This has not changed much for over 50 years.
One thing that has changed is that police casualties from criminal attacks are sharply down over the last 20 years. Things were going quite well until recently when the politicians messed up Ferguson and Baltimore and Chicago and New York, and Florida.
But police do like their new toys.
It is infuriating that this is necessary, or even advisable.
Those criminals should be taken off our streets permanently.
Gotta keep up with the Mexican drug cartels.
I saw a bumper sticker reading: “Come back to Miami. We weren’t shooting at you.”
