When I read this I had to chuckle. People always try to find ways to justify their existence. I'm sure the intel people are no exception. They can now point to the bulletin and say, "See? We addressed that!"gigag04 wrote:Doesn't really seem like a big deal. The bulletin was at least truthful.
Intel types at every organization (including mine) love to find something out, research it and then generate a bulletin for LE.
As for the story, I really don't see what's wrong with the bulletin. I agree with others that every officer should always assume that every encounter involves weapons until proven otherwise. Far too many officers have died in the line of duty because they believed they were dealing with a law abiding citizens.
