Not as inept as the Boston Keystone Kops.
They had this teenage kid surrounded with hundreds of heavily armed 'kops', FBI agents, SWAT teams, urban tanks...
He just drove away.
And some Freepers worry themselves to sleep at night about jack booted thugs carting us all off to the re-education camps.

My sister was involved in investigating a case in Germany where the OSI and German police fired hundreds of rounds at targets who were trying to kill an undercover agent. Dispite the fact that the targets had zero cover, the OSI and German police hit no one. The book above explains why and the investigation revealed that they were incapable of actually killing anyone, even to save one of their own. The book above is an awesome read. Anybody who carries concealed or protects their house with a gun should read it. Mostly, people use display behavior. They fire for effect with no intention of killing. (Animals do this by hissing and trying to look bigger. It’s the same thing.)
We have trained our cops and FBI to the point where they are more a danger to themselves and bystanders than to somebody trying to kill them.
The upshot of the investigation was that no OSI agent was actually capable of killing anybody. The report was sent back and re-written to a conclusion less embarrassing.
Posing for the camera?
