If there is any perceived threat to the LEO, they pretty much have the green light to shoot to kill. If there is an active shooter they will hold up and make a plan to secure LEO lives before they go in. I'm not too sure about what happened in Vegas yet, but the Pulse Night Club is a perfect example. We've given them all the gear to do CQB room clearing, but the LEOs aren't really doing it as far as I can see.Montegriffo wrote:GrumpyCatFace wrote:
Yes, I'm sure that shooting a crowd of armed civilians would result in an organized response to the threat, and not a massacre of stupidity.
At least the Police here turn up promptly and kill the attacker within minutes. 6 mins from first 999 call to attackers dead in London bridge attack. Of course it's a lot easier when the police know the assailants only have knives.

If only the shooter had been black.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Their duty is their own sweet skin, why do you expect miracles out of a government worker when you put a badge on it? Why do you expect heroes from a population of cowardly bitches you rob of personal responsibility like yourself?GrumpyCatFace wrote:I want the police force reprimanded or shamed for failing to do their duty.

Re: BREAKING: Las Vegas Active Shooter
And your solution is to change... what, exactly? Or did everything work out just fine, because gun laws weren't changed? Or should everyone have been carrying a pistol? Do you even have a coherent point to make here, or just shitting on me because it's 'what you do' on this fucking board?clubgop wrote:Their duty is their own sweet skin, why do you expect miracles out of a government worker when you put a badge on it?

We are talking about government work here, why would you expect anything else?

Re: BREAKING: Las Vegas Active Shooter
The assumption that others should have a duty to lay their lives down to protect your own life is mistaken. It's a foolish notion.
Yes, men who lay their lives down in sacrifice for the welfare of their countrymen are noble. That's heroic. But it's a mistake to plan our security around the idea that police will do this. It probably depends upon where you live, but I would NOT expect a Chicago cop, for example, to do a damned thing to protect me if it meant risking his own life.
Ultimately we are responsible for our own safety.

Re: BREAKING: Las Vegas Active Shooter
What is your solution? Besides shreding the Constitution because it is "What you do" on this board? Man the cubs pitching sucks like I said it would and you get all upset when I spit the cold hard truths of this world. There is nothing you can do. You are a coward and bitch flailing against those braver than you that they aren't the messiah you want them to be.GrumpyCatFace wrote:And your solution is to change... what, exactly?
