How many cooks does it take to spoil a broth?

That picture is after the fact. No swat team is so ready to respond it will be there in time to stop a shooter.
Beat cop is what you got, if you're lucky, and he's not a pussy.


Yes, Thats part of the point I was making.

iTs typically either up to a [reasonably willing -capable] side-armed citizen with a fortuitous good opportunity to thwart the shooter
or the cops first on the scene.

Multiple Teams that look like they are geared-up to raid Bin Ladens defended compound don't mean much if they arrive after
the dust has settled and the blood congealed.

but the media will swarm on them for a good photo-shoot. typically with the caption 'heavily armed police respond'
