Is the world in such need of saving antisocial madmen that we must ask policemen to risk their own lives in dealing with them? Why do we fall all over ourselves praising and honoring soldiers that kill "opposing madmen" without ever giving them much of a chance to surrender, but vilify policemen that sometimes don't go to extreme lengths?
Yeah, and my respect goes out to those officers who actually risked life and limb to resolve a situation without leaving bodies on the ground.
