Hi Everyone-
Here's a letter written by a mental-midget (no flames, please ) named David Schroedel from Sleepy Hollow, NY to The New York Times on Friday, February 4, 2000:

Learn from Diallo Case
To the Editor:
One of the unexplored issues in the tragic shooting of Amadou Diallo is the role that semiautomatic pistols played in the discharge of 41 bullets by four police officers in a few seconds (front page, February 3, 2000).
This case should lead the New York Police Department to revisit the decision to arm officers with rapid-fire weapons.
It also demonstrates that the decision, which came in response to a misguided notion that criminals were also heavily-armed, inevitably leads to terrible mistakes.

You just have to love how writer Schroedel passes his judgement on how
"heavily-armed" the NYPD is today.
Yeah, send those gallant officers into harm's way with a hatpin and an attitude. I could picture this pusillanimous crybaby hiding behind an officer yelling, "Shoot, shoot, shoot!" if some thugs gave him a scare in the subway.
Sheesh!
