Navy has cobras otw, I heard the newsman say navy gunships. So the Poe-lice (like my nawlins accent there?) may have lots of aerial IR at their disposal to scope out the banditos.

Should make for a good "Cops" episode.

Will be nice when gunships will have ground threat radar sophisticated enough to plot counterfire on small arms trajectory.

See what TV has done.
they see it happening on TV overseas so now they do it here.

Im joking. but you just know someone is going to try to say that.

Haveta admit though. there is a similarity to what we see  happening overseas.

Its not nice to say, but I look for the army or marines to show up and start killing the lawbreakers.

Maybe even turn into Judge Dredd's

what is happening over there ? People should help eachother in a disaster like that. This is too weird for me too understand. Is it much poverty in the area ?

So when people are in life distress and shoot rescue workers in despiration for their lives and trying to get attention, now people are waiting to see them get killed on the next COPS episode.

Cos yeah, shooting the people trying to help you is a perfectly valid form of communication, and should be rewarded with sympathy, not summary execution.  Ummmmmmmmmmkay?
