Fox News had the Watertown Chief on last night and he mentioned that the rounds fired were “dummy rounds”. I’m an ex SWAT Team member and I have never heard of dummy rounds being used in a hostile tactical action. I’m not doubting his word, I just never heard of this.

What are they calling a “dummy round”?
A dummy round is just that, dummy, it wont fire.
Has no live primer and no powder.
Has one or more holes drilled through the case to let you know it is a dummy round.

“I’m not doubting his word, I just never heard of this.”
Maybe he meant to say “dumdum”? Though I haven’t heard anyone use that term for soft-nosed bullets outside of an old movie in a long time.

These dummy rounds certainly made Swiss cheese out of the boat that the goat humper was hiding in. The owner's wife is on record stating that it was destroyed by bullet holes. Have any authorities ever spoken the whole truth? In the past 25 years... I can't remember anything but lies coming from government officials... they spill enough truth in the soup to make it taste real.

Actually, that would be a great idea to keep him alive for subsequent waterboarding. But am I sure the police bought right into that? hmmm.

“Dummy Rounds” refers to the words spoken by the Watertown Chief, not ammo.
Poor, ickle, Liberal pol is embarrassed because a mere “untermenschen” found the terrorist instead of the many armed & armored LEO’s he had on his payroll.
