Very good, an inspiration to all those analysts; how long is the induction course for them?

Shot Philadelphia Officer Chases Down His Gunman
His left elbow was pierced and bleeding from a .38-caliber slug fired by a suspected robber, but Officer Mark S. Uffelman, 52 - a trophy-winning long-distance runner - wasn't about to lose.
Seems appropriate to drop this footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhfNQBNrp9Y
Refers to a bank robbery in Alicante, Spain in 2007 and some direct action taken. The footgae clip has been around awhile, but has a new lease of life in 2009 - according to a swift Google check.

Like I said, you can't fix stupid but at least stupid should hurt.

He does a little flailing initially until he settles in and finds his range but all things considered he doesn't do too bad, now does he?: stays on his feet; sticks and moves.

Say hello to my 2 x 4
A related film popped up after viewing that. It's "How to drive a Hummer in Iraq" (If we actually have Hummer's in Iraq, then Fraud, Waste, and Abuse has been taken to a new level, but I guess that's for a new thread)
At first, I thought that this was some cocky, poorly supervised individual who thought he was some kind of tough guy. But, after a minute or so, seeing that he's not really bumping these cars too hard, and seeing the traffic congestion, I thought it was a good example of good driving. That is, until he went into oncoming traffic...
I directed my driver into oncoming traffic several times - but never when traffic was as congested as it was in the video, in both directions - and certainly not in an area where the traffic pattern is that complex. Usually it was on a straight road, when traffic ahead of us was backed up, but traffic in the oncoming direction was relatively clear.
I think it could be a good instructional video, had it continued on for another few minutes. I'm not sure what happens after the tape stops. My reaction, while viewing, was that these guys got way too far to the left and were only going to make traffic worse, portray a very poor image of American Soldiers, not get to where ever they were going much sooner, and not doing a whole lot to mitigate the threat of an attack while moving slowly or temporarily halted.
When traffic is that congested, I always thought it more prudent to either
a) dismount and help to unscrew traffic
- and/or
b) dismount to augment security provided by the turret gunners

What? I can here SWC saying.
Maybe an over-long article, so you can skip to the video link.On December 11, a group of 15-year-old schoolboys found themselves in the middle of a several thousand strong race riot in central Moscow. The boys, already badly beaten, were rescued by four unarmed OMON [special police force] officers. In contrast to their assailants, the boys and police officers demonstrated heartwarming values of togetherness and camaraderie. Theirs is the real Russia, argue Andrei Loshak and Svetlana Reiter.

By one of the four officers:I was struck by the youth of the officers and relatively short service.We had not brought our guns. We had just gone on the beat and never expected things to take such a turn. And to go out on the beat with a shield, in a helmet, with a truncheon and a Jetta is to provoke people. Even if we had had guns we would most probably not have used them.

Read more at the Washington Examiner: http://washingtonexaminer.com/local/...#ixzz1B1ylLf4kFederal agents are embedding with homicide investigators in Prince George's County starting this week in a rare move as authorities scramble to react to a string of 13 killings that have occurred already in 2011.
"It is very unusual for us to bring in agents and embed them in our homicide division," said police spokesman Maj. Andy Ellis. "I can't remember us doing that since probably the mid-to-late '90s."
The county has been rocked by news of a homicide spike since New Year's Day. The county's 13 killings exceed the 12 U.S. military deaths that have occurred this year in Afghanistan as of Friday morning.
