I doubt any local police force would stand up against what was basically a Special Op’s force.

Back in the 1990's. pistol armed LA Police did a pretty good job bottling up those machinegun armed bank robbers until SWAT teams could arrive.

Then there was the FBI agents in Miami who went up against machinegun armed bank robbers in the 1980's. Of course, that shootout didn't go well for the FBI agents but still, the FBI agents didn't hesitate to do their jobs.

I’m not going to compare Cops in India guarding a train station to LA Cops or the FBI. They aren’t as well trained, they aren’t as well paid, they aren’t as well led. There is no comparison. These were soft targets for a reason. The Indian Army showed it’s mettle, and I was glad to see it.

That was real stupidity on the FBI’s part.

Let's go up against guys known to be shooters, killers that like shotguns and assault type weapons.......with pistols.

The Wiki page does not note that officers ran into a local gun shop to obtain AR-15 type rifles and other high powered arms to try to keep the bad guys bottled up.
