It's not so much the marksmanship of them I am worried about, I am sure

experience, ability to stop a violent situation without violence....

Perhaps I should give them more credit for those abilities. I hear
about the tragic exceptions but have no idea how many potentially tragic
incidences are avoided and unreported. The incidents that I have been
personally familiar with have not left a good impression with one
exception.

I have lived in the inner city... You see what these guys are capable of
tolerating situations and how "professional" they can remain after..
