Thread: Morrinsville Shooting

This may get me crucified but here goes. The speed which frontline police replied with small arms fire proves they are armed at all times, now if suitable training was mandatory as well we might not have this current 3 ring circus. Police firearms training appears to be woefully inadequate.

I think there might be a difference between being "armed at all times" and having guns locked in a safe in the boot of a squad car.

The media releases say it was only when the second squad car arrived that police returned fire.

Marty they might be better with Black Powder arms, give them a smoke screen to hide behind?

My uncle was in the police and he said that there's always one cops per x thousand number of people who carry on their person all the time. He also told me about the special tactical squad or something. That was quite interesting. Especially all of the military weapons they have.
