Anyone recall LA and two goons in full body armour and lots of ammo for
their uzi and ak's?
300+ cops 4 swat teams and it still took them 4 hours to geek the bastards.
You can bet they havve plans in place for that if it happens again.

MECARS's are nice but another example of this type of thing is Look at the
west bank of Isreal.....the IDF has started allowing light MG's and Im not
sure if itfs RPGs or Rifle Grenades or maybe it was even the new HK grante
pistol, but theve beefed up alot to....threat dictates response...and when
the bad guys have stuff they get their stuff to.....
Another thought is We tend to look at this 2050+ era from 1999 eyes....Dudes

Is Scott tough? Yes, Talented? On occasion, Brave? Oh Certainly! He is also
erratic, irresponsible, accident prone and a constant threat to public
Safety. The trick is to keep him pointed in the right direction.
