- No flames intended but I wonder if Ms Ramirez didn't confuse the flak
- jackets of some officers (S.W.A.T?) and the lack of such attire on others
- with two different organizations. Does anyone know if the military involves
- itself with police raid these days?
-
- On another note, should the police wait to be fired upon to establish that
- the gun was loaded. If someone swings at me outside the dojo, I am not
- going to assume that he is going to hold back at the last second.
