fstarbkk Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The fact that, not one, but two, armed officers of the law (and I use the term lightly) could be separated from their sidearms by a group of civilians, points to a serious lack of training and situational awareness.

sebastion Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Story stinks. I would be more inclined to believe these are made up charges to put away some troubled youth/addicts who they just don't like.

Handing over two firearms with ammo would be a bit of a stretch for a set-up, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
