Welcome back Taikonaut, to you and your other crewmembers!

On the van to n**** we heard about the basic events.
Can not imagine a closer call. What an eternity waiting for help.
Why don't Indian police forces not only have "SWAT Teams", but replace all of the old Lee-Enfield, bolt-action rifles and equip all of their police/army troops with the semi-auto. FN FALs (other than snipers) or the G-3? My SKS would be much better than a LE.
Unbelieveable.
Is this (apparent) lack of specialized, commando police forces also a typical situation in other Asian cities?

Hope you enjoy the rest of the month.
