   Point 1:  Great start to a flawed posting again, Dobranski.  Police   
   DON'T "carry firearms for personal protection".  They carry them in the   
   course of their jobs protecting others, and use them only if they need   
   to subdue someone who is threatening someone else - or them.  There are   
   rogue cops who are exception - but they are also cowardly rogue cops.

   Point 2:   Go back and re-read point 1.

   Because the Sikhs and the airplanes weren't the perpetrators of the   
   crime?  Just 4 Sikhs were?   
      
   Don't run with sharp scissors, Dobranski . . . .
