Hindsight sure is 20/20, isn't it?

And keeping a situation in perspective gives you 20/15. You obviously are operating in a 20/200 world where you see what you want to see. Your attitude makes it clear that perhaps the Brits have it right and not all cops should have guns. If you cannot see or will not admit that it is patently ridiculous to send three cops and a helicopter to settle a clearly non-dangerous playground altercation among 11 y/o's that one old maid schoolteacher would have handled when I was a child, then you lack the perspective and judgment to wear a badge. Get it through your head, TBO. Kops are not always right. And the more they try to separate themselves from the society that they patrol by visual and attitudinal intimidation attempts the worse they will make the situationfor themselves.
