I guess by now, everyone has watched the news about the shoot out in Ca. Cops had a car surrounded at close range, Cops fired 95 shots. One cop was hit, but he's OK.{bad guy didn't have a gun}neighbors said bullets were hitting their houses. After the smoke cleared, they take the bad guy outta the car and slap on the cuffs. He shoulda looked like swiss cheese, and a grain scoop the tool for removal , but he's doing OK also, 95 shots? Where in the hill do they get these guys? watching the news, first thing I thought of was the tv show Cops" the two bank robbers in Ca. that had the 35-40 cops out numbered, and now I understand. Drive by shooters, and cops that shouldn't be allowed to have a gun. Sure glad I don't live in California.

Read the NRA information on public shoots. #1 menace are cops. They hit more bystanders than anything else. Criminals are far more accurate in their shooting than cops are.

I don't think the military or the police teach true marksmanship skills anymore. It's all about putting a lot of lead in the air in a particular general direction. Sometime back I saw the shots per kill statistics for WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and so on. The shots per kill just kept going up and up and up, and got to unblievable numbers. Wish I could remember where I saw that at. I bet it's currently around a million shots per kill in Iraq. Seems like a few dozen good snipers could do better than the whole rifle toten part of the army. Hey I still respect the heck out of them for serving their country, it's the head honchos that out to train them and equipment to kill something every time they pull the trigger.

Shoot any more the cops are closer to being crooks then the crooks are. Also most of them can't hit a red bard at 10 feet. There are a few good one but not many any more. Sorry if I have stepped on any bodys toes.
But the cops in muy area have stole from me with no just cause

Glad I don't live out there too. I guess that's why so many people in that neck of the woods are all for gun control,they think it means the same thing it does around here----Hitting what you aim at---- I've wondered many times why the cops in the other shoot out you mention never brought in anybody with the marksman skills to make a head shot and take those guys out. It might have been different if they'd been behind a wall or something where the cops didn't have a clear shot at them, but in downtown with roof tops all around, it should have been a no brainer....I've known one ex military sniper personally, watched several sniper competitions on TV, and read about alot more of them, and simply put THOSE GUYS ARE GOOD at what they do. Why waste tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars for men and supplies when one good man and one bullet is all you really need. . I guess it's all about being "PC". It's just not "PC" if we intentionally try to kill a criminal, no matter what the circumstances.....and if those Californians are anything it's "PC".....
