RE :Southside CPD.
As a thought, Sir, instead of arming all of the police with rifles that odds on won’t be sighted in for the individual, why not take a flyer from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries called a “Flying Squad.” Different from a SWAT team, which is something that’s terribly overused and equally terribly misused, the Flying Squad would be a highly mobile police unit that can be moved from area to area at need, when heavy and accurate use of firepower might be a deterrent. This would also cut acquisition costs and might make training costs low enough for the department that it might be possible to at least schedule weekly or bi-weekly training in a fun house/ Hogan’s Alley type situation. One thing that I have discovered is that you learn more in a mobile range than you do a stationary one. You always fight as you train, and buying ten thousand assault rifles will only insure that nobody learns to use them well enough to be both decisive and not a threat to the community at large due to a large number of misses.
