DW, You're killing me.
Who/What = Lennie ... ?
And, as a secret note, I sent yah an email.
And 264... I sure do feel your thoughts. You are more correct than you may know. Yet, as I mentioned, it becomes complicated. So I shall simply say, as Sheriff's respond, there are tactics that I would never write about. I may say that in a FLUID SITUATION, at least in my Dept, simply 1 (one) solo Deputy coming at a bad guy = the bad guy, or bad gal... is about to be neutralized (This does not always mean shot) but their negative activity will be modified.... Maybe ... ? Fluid is just that. A Deputy is usually always alone. That is far different than TV's navy Seal Team 6 that is a group on men or, in any Military operation, its a group with you. A Deputy learns to do everything, totally solo: ALONE.
Also, Deputies in the WEST, especially when their Beat is 100's of sq miles are different than say a Deputy in the EAST where the entire County is not 100's of sq Miles. Just ask any Deputy in Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and yes, especially California.
264, if DW fails to reply to my email, will you go beat him up as akin to you being my Big Brother. Elk, could you be my Big Older brother ... ? Possibly I should just ask BigJohnT to team up with 2lumpy & Eel to be my Guardians.
