"Look at his skill in slipping away, only trained snipers can do that. "

You don't know much about snipers, do you?

BTW, the shots being made are so easy that anyone can make them with iron sights.

How can someone get away TEN TIMES? ten times is a lot.

I heard that withing MINUTES police descended on the scene in Fredericksburg, shutting off all surrounding roads immediately. But it did no good, and that's amazing. I've heard speculation that maybe he (or she </ sarcasm>) has a fallback point somewhere in in the area, somewhere secluded and planned out in advance, where he can wait and not have to worry about getting onto the roads with all of them blocked. Maybe he even has a fallback point in MD as well.

That's some pretty smart stuff to be able to do. And if military snipers don't know how to do that . . . . well, they do.

My point is that it doesn't take a sniper to do that in America, where most cops are simply high-school graduates with a 4 month police training program behind them (POST).

Most cops that I have met are as dumb as door nails. They are more concerned over arming themselves with seven knives (I actually had a cop challenge me to find them all. I did.) and three guns and making the SWAT team than helping. Hell, most cops know more about guns (well, they think they do) than the law, meaning they know more about killing you than helping you.

Besides, how many snipers do you know? I know plenty, and none of them have ever trained to kill in urban America and escape.
