#1 If it weren't that it's a realistic possibility, I'm sure the police would enjoy themselves hugely. Of course, American crowds are not like Indian crowds, nor yet are American policemen as likely to freeze in shock. Thank you to the men and women of the New York City police, who also run toward the sound of guns.

#4 The gangbangers would shoot their sorry asses, tw, and the construction guys would stomp the hell out of them.

And then the UN would issue a Strongly Worded Letter™ decrying the violence - of the gangbangers and construction guys.

#5 This is why you have a SWAT team. Not to serve warrants or bust down doors of people suspected of having 1/10 ounce of marijuana indoors. SWAT teams are there to back up the 93rd Volunteer Infantry.
