If you're on a long stake-out, you need a backup in case of anyone needing to take a break, and you brief EVERYONE as to the operation.

Or FFS wear Depends.

Too bad they don't sell beer at Dunkin' Donuts. Maybe the cops would be nicer here.

I agree with you that if the leaked reports turn out to be true then it is a disgrace

We have the death penalty here in Texas..... surely ten tickets is less than a good defence attorney?

Yeah, you're right - I didn't say it quite as I intended to, but you've summed it up in your last sentence.

It's sad about the Brazillian, but at least it sent out the message that the police won't **** around with the bombers. We haven't had anymore bombs go off since that day, so far.

The fact that one thing follows another doesn't mean that the first thing caused the second.

Also, I somehow doubt that being shot is much of a deterrent to a suicide bomber.
The second lot of bombers were only captured alive because their bombs didn't go off,or they would be as dead as the first lot.

Very good point - to die in Jihad is their goal. Whether its being shot by police during an attempted attack or blowing themselves up and taking a few innocents with them, they couldnt care less - their twisted minds will see it as glorious.
