Is "drop the pistol, or I'll shoot the guy in the library!" a new law enforcement tactic?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all about respecting law enforcement... until they shoot an innocent bystander. Is a guy with an empty or almost empty .22lr pistol worth flinging lead at innocent people?
You wouldn't know, because you're not capable of doing the job. You certainly don't have the chops to Monday morning quarterback those who do!
