I think it comes right after "React to Indirect Fire" or "React to Ambush." Not everyone gets trained on how to deal with a Jackal of the Press(tm) in his face, and fewer still remember the training if they do get it.<br /><br />As for the "Tactical face palm," are those the same Chinese "Special Forces" you see in parades on Segways?

Sure, everyone here would have done it all differently. We would have jumped out of bed and pulled on our pants complete with holster and spare mags, wouldn't have put a round in the dirt and wouldn't pull our piece out in front of a camera to demo how we went after Sumdood and waive it about the neighborhood and regale about how we were gonna tackle him like Ray Lewis. (last guy to see Ray Ray with a gat is 6' minus Z axis right now).<br /><br />But, there is the fact that nobody who shouldn't have got hurt, Sumdood got arrested and the gun community got a gushing positive story about how an armed citizen with a gun IS A GOOD THING. Complete it seems with the local PD, if not approval, admittance that good guys with guns don't necessarily have a badge.<br /><br />Thumbs up, just not enthusiastically.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207808793722026516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-24283208432039789512012-02-16T16:51:27.050-05:002012-02-16T16:51:27.050-05:00Do Television Cameras nowadays emit some kind of S...Do Television Cameras nowadays emit some kind of Stupid Ray?
