Did it show the police having to go to a weapons store to get better weapons to combat these guys?

Yeah. And then we got the obligatory anti-gun message.

The same weapons store which has since been driven out of business by the city of Los Angeles and the state of California.....

Yah, where they went to pick up a couple of AR-15s. When I saw the documentry on this I kept yelling at the TV "GET A F'ING DEER RIFLE YOU STUPID @#$% @#$%S!"

My Fiance wasn't impressed, but niether was she with the cop that kept babling about "We were out gunned, we had to match the fire power of these assualt rifles". What a load of crap, they should have put a .308 in the jacka$$es heads from 100 yards out..game over in less then 15 minutes..

The LAPD has my respect for bravery under fire, however, their incompentence in selecting a counter-weapon is an excellent example of what happens when the Gun Culture dies.

Bonnie and Clyde both used BA freaking Rs, what the heck would the officers had done then? The show would be called Gone is 60 Seconds and we would be morning the death of 18 or 20 officers. That is unacceptable.

I would like to have seen what a .338WM would have done to Tubby and his body armor from a couple hun yards.

Yes, just saw the scene where the cops go to get AR-15s. "I can't believe they let people buy things like this". "Good credit, 10 day waiting period, no criminal record ....."

I would say it was damn good for the good guys there *was* a well stocked gun store near by.
