David, I agree that when things are "normal" resisting police is futile. However under the circumstances brought on from Katrina the police force was in no position to organize and coordinate. An individual properly armed and trained could have prevented his or her weapons from being confiscated. A group of armed and trained folks would possibly be able to do so without firing a shot. No law abiding citizen wants to hurt good people. Katrina showed that many of those without guns for defense were dead anyway.
Here in Florida a scumbag shot and killed a police officer and his K-9 officer while wounding another officer. He was shot and killed the next day after hundreds of officers scoured the wooded area looking for him. He eluded police for hours just a short distance away from the initial shooting. Police said they walked over his position several times without finding him. Now imagine a Katrina situation with communication, air support, and man power not to par. In an area of complete chaos no less.
BTW this individual was armed only with a handgun and had no training.
Revjen45, "Pigs"? "Honest people hate them"? Please don't ever speak for me and I am as honest as they come. I have family in law enforcement and they are good people doing their job. A job that someone has to do despite the damned if you do damned if you don't attitude of today. Then they have to contend with people like you. Crap on the bad apples and leave the bunch alone.
