I may raise my eyebrows and chortle over the (supposedly) heavy arming of ALL Police and Agencys...
My problem is when they have all this fire power and stand by and let the feral animals wantonly trash and burn businesses and steal property from within.
If they are NOT going to utilize what they have, then may as well take it away from them.
I can never imagine or picture Police from the 50’s/60’s/70’s just standing around while kids were screaming in a building while some nut job was going classroom to classroom.
Right, wrong or indifferent, regular beat officers from those times would have acted.
Of course, they weren’t all required to have XX #of hours College under their belt, the ones usually chosen were vets who had had some experience with life’s EVERYDAY doings.
Granted some were out of control BUT not with the all too often Rambo type activities we are seeing today....
And a dog would have to be pretty ‘mean’ and/or threatening for a beat cop to shoot one.
“I can never imagine or picture Police from the 50’s/60’s/70’s just standing around while kids were screaming in a building while some nut job was going classroom to classroom.”
Of course they would have taken action,especially in the 50s and 60s.
The race hustling business hadn’t reared it’s ugly head yet.
