I suspect there might be a few unprotected women in that city who would be happy to know those "Rambos" are around.

Unless the Rambo gets startled while his finger is on the trigger and his gun goes off while pointed in her direction.

I'm not complaining about the presence of armed LEOs, I'm complaining about LEOs who seem to have had inadequate training in safe gun handling, which is what I think ticked off the general

I didn't see anyone with finger on the trigger; the general wanted the weapons on their shoulder, "slung," which doesn't seem to be a "ready" state for a sniper zone. The clip I saw literally had him yelling profanities at troopers over and over again on this score, in clear range of CNNs camera crew. Forgive me, but something political was going on with this, and I don't care if the guy conquered Hamburger Hill by himself with Viet Cong guts in his teeth, I'd prefer to seen some of his rhetoric reserved for the rapists and the murderers.
