If I were a drug dealer, I would now be lining every closet in my home with weapons. If I were a police officer, I would not hesitate to shoot when performing a surprise invasion. Higher-ups are to blame for the botched raid. But higher up is not where the consequences will lie. Doug Becker Pierrefonds - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
