There were plenty of opportunities to shoot his tired IF cops had the guns.
Firearms are not the cure-all that you think they are.

Originally posted by Paddy View PostIf firearms would have helped then the police could have used them. There are special units to call on for that, besides which many patrol cars are armed. The fact is, once a helicopter has been deployed there is little chance of escape so the tactic is protect other motorists first. In this case it worked.
