This thread reminds me of spirited discussion we had on active shooter few years back. Many mentioned Beslan scenario is coming. Well, when it does, wouldn't "militarization" of the PD allow them to stand a bit better chance against well-armed-ill-intentioned jihadis?

I must admit I'm more warm and fuzzy towards our PD brethern after taking few classes with them, and when PD is purchasing Barrett M107, 416, etc. one can't deny the direction of militarization. The Puerto Rico PD explained to me the SOP for the use of Barrett was for barricade and boat interdiction scenarios
