GOB,
You understand exactly. I stopped riding when the head shed told the deputies that civilians could no longer ride with them. I felt real bad leaving my deputies without anyone to cover their backsides in drug busts and late night bar brawl visits, real bad.

I did not mention the Hollywood, Florida FBI fiasco because I really did not want to go there but..... That was two US Airborne trained bank robbers, just two, with semi auto guns who shot up the FBI guys. I used the CA bank robbers, which was just as bad if not worse. Just think what a dozen bad guys could do intent on a real killing ambush, with military training and equipment, including explosives. It would not be real difficult to pull an entire police force into a big buzz saw.

The military with recent deployment would be better equiped mentaly, training and actual equipment to handle the problem, but you run square into the Constitution.

Best solution would probably be for the military vetran NCOs to train LE in antiterrorist tactics and LE departments to secure equipment to work the problem, not pea shooters. If nothing else we could offer our LE folks captured or surplus weapons.
Best,
Ed
