    They may have also been unpaid 'Volunteers' as I gather this can be done in some places.
    Remember the Los Angeles 'Shoot out' of a few years ago where those 2 blokes in full combat body armour, carrying high powered automatic military style weapons took on the Police who only had pistols and no armour.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Two words "Lindt Cafe". Watch all the armchair experts pull this one to bits. We don't know enough about it, and, yes, I am willing to say that I think the bloke on scene should have done more to "protect" the kids but, espectially, determine what the actual threat was, before the others arrived. They probably had NO IDEA what they were up against initially.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    “I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon,” Trump said.

    A pretty strong claim coming from a “five-deferment draft dodger”.

    I guess he could have overpowered the shooter with his ego.... as we all know just how HUGE that is.

    Here's what Trump has actually done in the face of danger.



    Yes.. it's America's Super Trump president to the rescue... ST... he just forgot to mention the HI in the middle.

    American citizens everywhere can rest assured they are being protected by their very stable genius.

    Is Trump serious about implementing gun control, against objections by his own party and the NRA?

    Is it all just part of a political game of good cop, bad cop?

    Maybe just creating a diversion from the Russia investigation and a lot of other negative events?

    If he is genuinely pushing gun control, including a ban on all assault weapons... then he deserves praise for such a bold move.

    Perhaps the authorities could start with a mental assessment of these gun-obsessives.

    This pretty much sums up the whole thing, doesn't it:



    "Hey honey, just going down to the store quick. Want anything?"

    "Yeah, just some coke, cigarettes, and while you're on the way, another rifle."

    People can't be surprised these things happen when one can buy the stuff like cigarettes or lotto tickets over the counter.

    True freedom is the greatest gift a man can possess, yet is the one thing most easily and innocently given away, to crafty curses and binds cleverly disguised as blessings and gifts, in the pursuit of supposed achievement, status and power.

    Roundly vilified for not entering a Parkland high school during a mass shooting, Broward Deputy Scot Peterson insisted publicly that he believed that gunfire was happening outside on campus — not from inside the building.
    But internal radio dispatches released by the sheriff's office Thursday show Peterson immediately fixated on Building 12 and even radioed that gunfire was happening “inside.”
    And, just as school shooter Nikolas Cruz was fleeing the building after killing 17 people, Peterson warned his fellow officers to stay away — even as wounded students and staff lay inside.

    Its rather ironic that more has happened with gun control under Trump in a year than what happened in 8 years under Obama.

    Bump stocks are to be banned and Oregon has made some small, but tighter changes.

    Yes, its not a lot, but its more than has happened under Obama's "tough talks".

    Obamas "tough talks" as well as most reforms proposed were continually blocked by gun loving Republicans in the senate.....you know them, Trumps mates who hate Democrats and put that above common sense...

    One of MANY sources on the subject.....



    Bump stocks? Who the f*ck needs a bump stock in the US when an AR15 will do? YAY Trump...

    This ring any bells ?



    The incident is the deadliest committed by an individual in the United States. It reignited the debate about , with attention focused on , which Paddock used to allow his rifles to fire at a rate similar to that of a weapon.

    So? Trumps mates consistently blocked real reform that may, and I stress may, have saved lives already.

    Sorry, he's done nothing meaningful at all....except fool a doting audience. Something he's made a career at.

    Should we be afraid? Maybe they want to compare their "Guns". "Mine's bigger than yours!"
