Speaking of Rapid Deployment


Man opens fire at Omaha mall, killing 8

...20-year-old Robert A. Hawkins...killed eight people, then apparently killed himself...he was introverted, a troubled young man who was like a lost pound puppy that nobody wanted...Hawkins wrote that he was "sorry for everything," would not be a burden on his family anymore and "now I'll be famous,"...Police received a 911 call...By the time officers arrived six minutes later, the shooting was over..
That's why we need Immediate Action, Rapid Deployment. And that's why EVERY law enforcement officer should be carrying his weapon at all times. It can happen anywhere, at any time, and you'd better be ready or, as Lt. Col. Dave Grossman puts it, you won't be able to live with yourself if you get caught unarmed.
