Yah, where they went to pick up a couple of AR-15s. When I saw the documentry on this I kept yelling at the TV "GET A F'ING DEER RIFLE YOU STUPID @#$% @#$%S!"

My Fiance wasn't impressed, but niether was she with the cop that kept babling about "We were out gunned, we had to match the fire power of these assualt rifles". What a load of crap, they should have put a .308 in the jacka$$es heads from 100 yards out..game over in less then 15 minutes..

The LAPD has my respect for bravery under fire, however, their incompentence in selecting a counter-weapon is an excellent example of what happens when the Gun Culture dies.

Bonnie and Clyde both used BA freaking Rs, what the heck would the officers had done then? The show would be called Gone is 60 Seconds and we would be morning the death of 18 or 20 officers. That is unacceptable.

I would like to have seen what a .338WM would have done to Tubby and his body armor from a couple hun yards.

I am still pissed. At the end they state that 12 "brave" officers risked their lives(and were injured)....They were hiding behind their cars! The SWAT team was stuck in traffic? Then they didn't have the needed weapons?? No one could make a head shot while the bad guys were reloading??

Ineptitude is no excuse for getting their asses kicked by a couple of thugs with semi-autos.

If you don't know how to shoot well, an AR-15 is a better choice than a deer rifle.

I lived only a few miles south at the time of the North Hollywood bank robbery, and had been a customer of B&B Sales on several occasions.

They did loan the police a few AR-15s (Bushmaster clones, I think) as well as a .458 Remington Magnum.
