Much as I hate the b@st@#ds when they are pointing a laser gun at me on the A1 and much as I respect many of your aviation related opinions, I think your random thought is out of order.
The police firearms units are trained to do their job. They are the experts in this case and you are not.
They're not wannabes, they are the professionals. (though I imagine not Bodey and Doyle)
