IMHO Tim seems to subconsciously need to self-defeat his point. Or wants the
"PC" crowd to wail in horror at his writings. In either case, fuck the PC
crowd. :)

I don't think the poor survivalist would even survive the encounter. At that
point, they'd probably plant some drugs on the body after they pump a few
hundred rounds up his ass. Still if he manages to take out more than one cop,
I'd say it would be a win.

Bottom line: police are here to protect the citizenry from criminals, not to
shoot them. They are there to TAKE A BULLET for innocents, not allow the
innocents to be shot by their fire. Sure a cop's life is important and
protecting it is important, but not at the price of standerby's.
Further, if cops are just citizens, how come they get to get away with murder?
