Ambush style as Two Los Angeles Sheriff Deputies Shot

[Antisthenes]

Me looking at the shooter it would appear to me this was a very young person ?   https://t.co/cBQjyKkoxJ
Unless a patrol car has bullet proof glass how could you protect yourself from something like this ?

The other thing--besides bulletproof glass and panels--is situational awareness.   That guy was allowed to close the distance WAY too much.  They have to shift to a tougher mentality.   No one should be able to get that close to them.   They should never be in white; only orange if not already in red.  I think those officers may have been in white.  

Community policing is looking dead to me.

In Northern Ireland, the police had to have military escort at certain times to do some things.

It is very difficult to dissuade a dedicated assassin with a plan and prior knowledge. The advantage is built in. For the police to circumvent that advantage with equipment or tactics, you will drive your policing costs through the celing and alienate further an already police phobic, angry populous.

Unfortunately, this is the down side of our 2nd Amendment rights. Can't have it both ways.
