You need cops to arrest people to get them to court and then onward to jail...or enough to be there to plain old shoot the baddies to avoid arrest/court/jail. Oddly enough, police in Winnipeg do tend to use lethal force pretty frequently, but I suspect that has something to do with their...

Yeah...just got my assessment today...up quite a bit from last year. If property taxes are going up yet net spending on things like road maintenance (the area I live in is pothole central 11 months of the year), general infrastructure and policing for a city that has roughly 85-90% of the...

Should is the operative word there...as opposed to "SHALL" which is infinitely more directive and definite...

I was participating in training an agency's Close Protection Officers as OPFOR...one group had their principal in a full on surrounded shield until one of the DS yelled "GUN"...and everyone hit the ground...well everyone except the principal standing there with a gunman who got six close range...

Pretty cool concert before we left...
