I think he's watching too much television when he imagines an inevitable shootout on BART because someone sees a dog. "At best he will see the dog and shoot the officer"? I guess we know how he feels about law enforcement officers. Also, I didn't realize that many fugitives with bombs, guns and baby-snatching tendencies rode public transportation. I, too, am concerned with the almost complete lack of courtesy on our highways, but it never occurred to me that dogs on trains would put more bad drivers on our freeways. I'm happy that he would allow BART police to stop drug peddlers from causing a disturbance. I guess well-mannered drug dealers should be left alone. Dennis A.
