Boy are you right! Remember that shootout after the bank robbery in LA? All those construction workers and landscapers rushing to face down the thugs with body armor and AKs.

Hell, they had to knock over the QuickMart clerks and fishermen just to get a piece of the action.

Remember that shootout after the bank robbery in LA?

Yeah I do remember, but what does this BS have to do with the FACT that police work isn't particularly dangerous? Refresh my memory how many cops were killed then? As I remember only the criminals died. Or am I confusing that with the Columbine school massacre where the swat heroes rushed in under fire taking casualties to save the wounded. Oh wait, never mind, the victims bled out while the cops waited until it was safe.

Also, remember the carjacking in Atlanta year before last? The one where the woman was killed and the car jacker was stopped by an ordinary citizen with a gun?

Tell me how did you get addicted to the taste of boot polish?

And during the 1992 LA riots you had Korean convenience store owners on top of their businesses with rifles holding off the mobs, after the cops were seen on TV running away like frightened schoolgirls

We could have used a few of those storeowners in NYC during the Crown Heights riots, when the NYC police dutifully obeyed Mayor Dinkins desire for them to show "restraint" towards the rioters

Yes remember it well. There were no police (or roofers) killed so what is your point?

I remember this as well, and I also remember thinking how stupid these cops were that ran down to the gun shop and picked up a couple of AR-15’s and shotguns. All they needed to do was get (1) .22-250 with a decent scope on it and put the crosshairs between the bank robbers eyes and pull the trigger. I believe both of these guys were just wearing ski masks.
