I don't know if you have disdain for the police but, a great number of them are former military. Not to sure about Wisconsin but, most state police carry AR-15's... And I'm sure you they have a SWAT team

I have to tell you C.D. that part of the problem you are having is that you just don't understand Northern Wisconsin. SWAT team? The nearest SWAT team is probably over an hour away. This is a very rural area we are talking about here. The local city police force probably includes three or four officers with many cities not having 24 hour coverage at all. The local sheriff's department which covers the county is larger but cover a large geographical area. There simply is not a large police presence in this area largely because the local residents are non-violent and sel-reliant. Look at what happened after the murders, they called in help from all over Northern and Central Wisconsin in addition to Madison and FBI to assist (which is really a class move because it is hard to admit you need help like this, the Sheriff there seems like a good guy and class act and should be commended) The local police have no backup, a car, pistol, and shotgun with them in the trunk. They would have been just as dead if they had showed up. Remember this guy didn't start shooting until the victims were going to call the police.
