It's easy to have your opinion when you're never the one going voluntarily into the situations that Police do.

Surely you don't think it's OK for cops to get chased around by a guy with a gun and have them attempt to steal patrol cars with more guns in them?

If he opened up on the cops they wouldn't have had a chance to to even pull their guns before at least one of them was riddled with .22 holes.
Did they not have tasers on them?
Also what's the deal with the key to the guns? Is it the same keys for the car?
Because if so that might be something that could be changed?
