The jail would be packed with alot of gay white males.

And that's where they need to be...

No. I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a fair fight.

FYI: Military or former military snipers are regularly employed against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. Here is a link to one very famous example.

It would be safe to say that half or more of ever sniper employed at every PD in the country received their training from the military.

You did not read my post, which stated nothing regarding "former" Marine snipers.

Wikipedia, the go-to reference choice of Googlers today...tsk-tsk.

Thought Carl Pittman said it pretty nicely. Black man that is running for sheriff in Harris county.

Fuck yea!! He'd have my vote if I was a Harris county voter.

Interesting psych eval when nothing is known of this current shooter. Regardless, I am still of the belief he's a coward with a touch of crazy and anger thrown into the mix, just like the one in VA.

I could give shit about the man; he is meaningless. His choice of tactics is what scares me given that it is the second time this type of tactic has been employed in the past year and officers died each time. It is being demonstrated on nation wide TV that this tactic works when it is used.

We are going to be seeing more of this soon.

I take it what you're trying to put together is both shooters mentioned exemplify courage through their actions? Even one who runs away and then kills himself?

I clearly said that the fag was a nut job and that a comparison between the two shooters should not be made.

The second shooter is MUCH more dangerous and represents an ongoing and massive threat to every member of law enforcement but what he represents is being glossed over by people dismissing the nature of the threat that he represents.

I want our resident officers to see past their emotional response to what happened and to clearly see the growing threat that they are going to be facing because I care about their well being.

Whatever ya wanna call it. It was not the right way for him to die.

Are you trying to compare war time actions with murder? Surely you didnt think this through...

I was trying to call attention to how the tactic being employed could appear to the person on the receiving end of things.

[svauto-erotic855]

I wouldn't, however because it seems like you are trying to make the comparison, would you?

No. I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a fair fight.

It would seem such a comparison is being attempted. I'm no expert in all things, but unlike the cowards identified in this thread, a Marine sniper does not practice his/her skill on U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. I would thus not in any manner consider a Marine sniper to be a coward.

I am on your side and want you to think hard about what you are up against instead of dismissing the threat out of hand by labeling the shooter a coward.

I will use a better analogy for your sake. It takes 5 SWAT team members to make an entry against what is usually one armed subject. Are the SWAT team members cowards because they have chosen to employ a tactic that increases their chances for success?

It is also well documented that DELTA snipers were at Waco before it burned and I bet that it would be safe to say that half or more of ever sniper employed at every PD in the country received their training from the military.

^^^^ Would you call a Marine sniper a coward?

There is all kinds of coward. Ex. A cop pulling people for dumb traffic laws.

Good point. To a point.
