I hope they don't either. Don't take my comments to mean that I wouldn't want law enforcement to be armed with AR15s, I do think they need them. My reluctance was directed at the Boston PD based on their abuse of the 4th amendment in house to house searches (not that they searched, but how they did it) following the marathon bombings. Note I did say that this reluctance doesn't apply to Texas LEOs (or any other department that adheres to the Constitution).mikejarhead wrote:I hope they don't encounter a situation like the Bank of America shootout in N.

Re: And so it begins
Based on the unconstitutional tactics used in house to house searches after the marathon bombing, if I lived there I wouldn't want them to have the AR15s. I have no respect for any officer who participated in that or believe it is OK. A JBT tactic pure and simple. I don't have the same view for Texas law enforcement who pretty much don't participate in that kind of nonsense. ARs for Texas LEOs is OK by me.
