As Sasless says, plenty of idiots out there and who knows what was the case here.
One day when we were talking about teh cars aboriginals drive and how they never seem to stop because they drive them steady An ex copper mate of mine reckoned they stop real easy usually after only a couple of hundred yards with a heavy loaded point 45 fired from point blank into the engine block.
very easy to drop a few into teh engine bay from a helicopter, even from behind if they are trying to shoot back.
Then there is the other side, two cases here where some of our Southern police forces must forever be holding their heads in shame (dammit that word again).
First case was the poor slightly disturbed Frenchman armed with only a kitchen knife and standing right out in the open on Bondi Beach and two great muscle bound police uniformed buffoons could not even be smart enough to kick sand in his eyes but shot him dead.
Second case just the other day an otherwise great young Brazilian kid was tasered to death mostly after about half a platoon of muscle bound thugs, in police uniform again, ran him down and had him smothered on the ground. His only crime, got a bit hooched up, got on the fang and snitched a packet of biscuits from a local store.
Learning how to use weapons is one thing, learning restraint is quite another or even being smart with them.
