Sign'O the times. Gang bangers toting AK's, were lucky cops don't have MP5's slung on them when they get out of the car now.
We had that problem in the 1980's. There was just no internet to post it on.

Man, weren’t those the good old days? Sad that cops these days need THREE whole magazines in their bottom feeder Tupperware wonder guns when all the old cops could get it done with just six in their revolvers!
Had I been allowed, I would have done my entire police career with a .357 Magnum.
Had I been allowed at my last PD, I would have continued to carry my Smith 25-5 in .45 Colt till retirement when the Glocks were adopted.

YOUR JOB HAS LIVES ON THE LINE.
Use enough gun with enough firepower for the job! I don’t care who you are, revolvers are totally insufficient for police use in 2018! Leave nostalgia where it belongs, in the past!
He killed one man on duty way back in the 1960s with a S&W model 15 with round nose lead bullets. One shot, one kill.
There was/is nothing wrong with those durable and reliable Smith autos nor the 9mm cartridge and there is something to be said about having more bullets on board and the benefit of a speedy reload
Further, the inverted conical shape of a revolver's grip is harder to grip solidly than the grip of a semi-auto.
Define speedy reload.

I was a Ft Worth cop in the 80's. Did not know they ever used the crappy RNL 38's.
In the 60s I think everyone did. My uncle was still on the Ft Worth PD in the 80s. You may have known him. He was A.J. Tiroff. Known as Joe Tiroff. The BG he killed on duty was named Earl Gratz. But I am not sure I am spelling Gratz correctly. I think it was the late 1980s when he retired and went to the DAs office as an investigator. He died in 2003 with me on an Elk hunt.
