These guys coming down here need to realize that these police officers work in a county where most of the population is armed...legally, and a high percentage of locals have CCW.

The Cops here don't play. Remember how fast they put that riot in St. Petersburg down. Their attitude toward how they approach their jobs is reflected in the reality that guns are still a part of life here and most people have em..

So those coming here from states that have restrictive gun laws may be used to dealing with officers who aren't so much under the gun, so to speak. These guys don't get that extra second to react. They can be efficient and they may appear ruthless in the process. I hope the foolishness here does not escalate into stupidity.

We have keyboard jockeys who sat on their butts for two years and did absolutely nothing to push the Florida legislature to put in place a law that would have prevented the terrible situation we see today.

Laws are changed by legislators, not by hot dogs deciding which laws they will observe, and which they will not.

Sounds like a feeble excuse to me...Or are you law abiding, gun totin' Floridians just itching for a gun-fight, with anyone???Are you saying you guys make the cops nervous???
