Project Veritas visited police stations nationwide and asked law enforcement officials how they could protect themselves in the event of an armed break-in. "Go get some bleach. Go get ammonia," one officer instructed. Yet another officer instructed the undercover journalist to, "lock yourself in a bedroom" and "start yelling and screaming."
Vice President Joe Biden recently advised Americans to, "get a shotgun" for home protection. But when asked whether or not they should follow the Vice President's advice, law enforcement officials told the undercover journalists they would be arrested for doing so.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
” . . . law enforcement officials told the undercover journalists they would be arrested for doing so. . .”
Not in Texas.
Why waste them? I'll need them a little later to clean the bloodstains from the wall-to-wall.
I believe that was what she was inferring, “take care of business,” then use the bleach/ammonia to clean up the mess.
Conservatives are great that way. Also we could send the perp (if deceased his family) the bill to replenish our cleaning supplies, our ammo, are range time.
sheesh...our (more coffee please)
A most interesting project! Thank you for publicizing it.
I find it FRightening that only one LEO (of the interviews I watched) mentioned acquiring and learning how to use a handgun or long gun.
If one is inclined to not use such a weapon, buy several cans of wasp spray. The spray is accurate out to about 20 feet and will disable a threatening person!
David A. Clarke, Jr., Sheriff of Milwaukee County, for President.

My sister is a RN. She once told me of a paitent who sprayed on RAID thinking it was bug repellent . . . Her skin absorbed the poison. It took about a week to die.
That is sad - but did it disable her right away. That is what you need from any weapon used against an intruder - they have to go down and stay there.
Could be they didn't mention firearms for liability reasons (afraid they'd get sued by a dead perp's surviving family members).
Keep a stack of magazines (Vogue, Field and Stream) by each entryway. If someone is trying to break in throw the mags down on the floor. It’s like trying to run on ice. Plus it gives you more shoot time while they’re trying to get back out.
While watching the 3/7/2013 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on proposed amendments to the Feinstein/Schumer bill to destroy the Second Amendment, I was struck by the at least the superficial differences between the Dems and the Pubbies.
Senator Grassley proposed an amendment requiring the DOJ to report the disposition of each and every firearm related crime. The amendment was an effort to get answers to why so few of the already illegal crimes committed with firearms are not fully prosecuted. It was also an attempt to spotlight the data rich fact that, if CURRENTLY ILLEGAL FIREARMS CRIMES are not being punished, does any sane person think Feinstein’s idiotic feel-good, Second Amendment trashing bill will do anything except punish the LAW-ABIDING gun owner and, ultimately, disarm us, permitting these utopian progressives to have their way with us as their personal lab rats without fear of meaningful and effective resistance?
After Feinstein and a few other Dems objected on the basis that the amendment would have the DOJ’s people filing forms instead of prosecuting crimes (which they are not doing very well or often now), the amendment failed.
Among the Dems who objected was Durbin of Illinois. He remarked that one area of his state had a murder rate 18 times that of the rest of the nation and that budget cuts (the old sequestration gambit – again) had so crippled the US Attorney’s office there that they solicited attorneys in the area to work as unpaid volunteers to assist with their overwhelming caseload.
I actually sort of lost it as I wanted to yell at the TV “If your crumby state would permit concealed carry, what do you bet the murder rate would drop dramatically as many of these thugs now killing the citizens you’ve disarmed might solve the caseload problem right there on the spot, also saving the state trial and incarceration costs.”
That said, there would probably be a need for more morgue attendants, thereby helping with the unemployment situation.
At least until the bulk of the thugs had been dispatched to hell or figured out that the mortality rate in their vocation prompted them to find other work.
I don’t think so. I believe the pressure of Political Correctness causes LEOs to be reticent on this subject.
I am sorry to hear that someone died accidentally as a result of the wasp spray, but I still will keep the stuff by my FRont door and in my bedroom as just one more weapon at my disposal.
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
So you are advocating chlorine gas bombs?
What, do we use balloons? Old water bottles?
Geez, better buy a gas mask for the dog.
