So what's the problem?
Short police can get into smaller places.
Uniforms can be made more cheaply (not as much cloth).
It's easier for them to find things to hide behind (so no one knows they're there until TOO LATE -- Busted!)
If the crime rate goes down, they'll be ready to meet it eye to eye.
Officer involved shootings-- people always say, "why didn't they shoot them in the legs?" Think about it.
The short of the long of it: It's the civil right thing to do.
Brief, but concise. In short, I like it. as long as they don’t train these foreshortened cadets halfway, I’m all for it. As long as we can insure full funding for their training. I wouldn’t want to see them cut off.
