Re: Why patrol cops need the firepower these days
uh yeah sure in LA...you saw the guns they were selling in that gun store...if crims could potentially get them, cops should have them.
Thank god I don't live in your country and haven't seen a handgun let alone an assault rifle in the hands of criminals in real life, ever, yet is all I've got to say...

Thank god you don't live in our country either, coolaree. They have better guns now thanks to the strong manufacturer of firearms in America that provides cops and first responders the best firepower. Unlike places that turned into killzones like Mumbai and Paris. We actually have a chance to defend our precious lives with the best means possible.....

How come the FBI wasn't called in for this situation ? I mean isn't bank robbery a federal offense.
Re: Why patrol cops need the firepower these days
I think bank robberies are a federal crime, after the fact, this one was ongoing. I am not sure.

The entire thing lasted less than 45 minutes. The FBI wouldn't have had time to arrive even if they had been notified. It was a miracle that SWAT arrived as quickly as they did.
If a man speaks in the forest and no woman is there to hear it is he still wrong?

The bad guys only had three stars. You need four stars at least.

This kind of event is rare. Cops could be tempted to use excessive firepower in less appropriate situations and kill more innocent bystanders.

Do you think it is a good idea to arm such officers with these kind of weapons?
In my personal opinion, seconds count in the event of a shootout between heavily armored and armed gunmen like Phillips and Matasareanu and mass casualties.
State me your opinions.
