@jeff in dc – I noticed the same thing about how they are quick to protect their own but if that were an ordinary citizen, they would more than like be on their own unless the police felt unusually sorry for them. The courts have ruled it is definitely NOT their job to protect the public. Sorry, but it is what it is.

If they broke `em out because a guy stole 6 cows in ND I’m sure they will be using them on this one.

And if they designate him a senior member of a terrorist organization who is too hard to apprehend, then they can just kill him with the drone.

Maybe they should have received some before they did this. They no longer need such training as they should become convicted felons and as such are not allowed to pick up a gun.

This isnt just a takes care of their own situation, its a media circus. Guard details are the best solution upper management could come up with, even though in a round about way it is only creating more targets of opportunity. At this point I think this guy is at best sidetracked from his mission of retarded vengance, but putting a car in front of the house gives the media a five second video clip to show management is on it

Not sure what your specific story is or where you are writing from, but youd be surprised how much manpiwer is diverted away from legitimate issues such as what you are describing to deal with p.c. follies.

Been there, asked for that, named names and filed the deposition, with a witness. The exact answer was, “Sounds like you’ve got a problem.” Of course, those weren’t “terrorists.” They’re only terrorists if they attack public officials. Like police.

And so, I beg to disagree. I don’t hate police, I just don’t trust them or rely on them. Other than that, they’re fine. I never have to protect them.

It was amazing how quickly the police moved to protect their own. That was the lesson I learned.

During the DC Sniper incident montgomery county was van crazy for the white van that wasnt. I dont recall any shootings, just unlawful searches and question atf visits to owners of ar15s in the area.

Hell Rob, that’s been obvious for years now.

I’m reading this stuff, and it’s friggin’ amazing. Dad spent a bunch of years wearing a badge, and if he or any other OHP had engaged in something like this, they’d have had their ass handed to them.
But then, they werent’ in the PROC, so maybe the rules are different.

Funny…but cold.

LOL

In this particular case, the police are being targeted for assassination by a heavily-armed insurgent (yeah, I said it), who holds the advantage of surprise, is familiar with the TTPs and methods of the conventional force (the LAPD), knows the terrain, can choose ambush sites at whim, and is single-minded in his pursuit. The LAPD is shittin’ its collective pants, and all the technology in the world ain’t gonna make a lick of difference.

And, yes: a dozen individuals, equally trained and knowledgeable, spread across the country, equally committed, could wreak considerable havoc. Multiply those dozens by a thousand, and all hell will break loose.

A note of warning: Don’t think that other groups (New Black Panther Party, Mexican Cartels, neo-Nazi contingents) are not also learning critical lessons from what is happening in L.A. In a SHTF scenario, don’t make the mistake of assuming that only the good guys are going to be scrambling for power.

But Hey, TRUCK!!!!!! SHOOT!!!!! SHOOT!1!! (46 times?)

What time of day was the shooting? The pic was taken in full daylight; the shooting may have been in twilight.

In any case — they desperately need some training on fire discipline and control.

It excuses nothing, but as far as I can tell, they’ve sprayed bullets at innocents “only” twice… so far.

Except it doesn’t. Press release says *gray* truck. Picture shows *blue* as blue can be.

The accusations he has leveled of corruption in the LAPD will likely never be sufficiently answered, he chose poorly in bringing attention to himself by this method.

How many innocents are going to be shot in this madhouse?

Hmm, any guesses on what medication he has been prescribed, but we’ll never find out?

But something tells me he won’t be hiding out in Compton.
