this will help with the situation as much as taking a cup of water from the ocean drains it.

It may set a precedent that other police departments may follow. Hopefully the cops found arms and ammo and can prosecute the bad guys.

We will see.

Au contraire, mon ami.

The sentiment is understandable, but it is only sentiment. The famous first step is, "When you are in a hole, stop digging." The second step is probably to remind oneself that the first step may not look like squat when it's first taken.

The Moslem cavalry under Abdul Rahman were raiding and occupying large swaths of northwestern France in 732 AD. An ambitious Frankish chieftain named Charles Martel (which means "hammer"), whose men were beefy, but had no armor or horses, drew Rahman and his men into a trap, slaughtering tens of thousands of them—including Rahman himself, the Governor-General of Moslem-occupied Spain—and then chased the survivors all the way back across the Pyrenees. Charles saved France from tyranny and let Christianity in Europe grow and flower for the next 800 years. You might have heard of his grandson, Charlemagne.

Charles's first steps in pursuit of Abdul Rahman and his swaggering Arabs were a series of minor raids and exchanges, many of which Charles lost or retreated from. The krauts may be way ahead of the 8th-century French already. Let us pray that it be so.
