    I couldn't stand the title of this thread anymore, it wasn't an active shooter, it was a standoff or siege.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    Used to be they had to live in the city to apply and work. I applied at this time. Went through the whole damn process and at the interview was told ....oh... sorry you don't live in the city! Doh!
    Later it changed to you had 6 months to move in to the city and eventually could leave after 5 years. However, no one works in the district where they live.

    I know about the bombing of the MOVE headquarters in Philadelphia, pretty much a testament to 'common sense, so rare it should be a super power' IMO. S

    hould have caught that from the way he capitalized MOVE. My bad.

    I wasn't precise in word usage when I used jurisdiction in this case I was referring to patrol area/beat.

    The agencies I worked for used either a 'within 20 minutes of..' or 'within the County' metric.

    Exactly. If anything he was an IN-active shooter, more of a nacho-eating IED or a land mine.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.
