To start with mlholt is male, not female. If I came off as being anything but supportive of the police then you took me wrong. I find nothing wrong with what they did but if they can respond in that manner to a threat made toward them, they can just as well do it for me or you. I fully realize that the police force is by and large a reactive agency. They seldom get the chance to act to thwart an issue. As this is the case I have always armed myself and practiced my marksmanship skills so I was not dependent on anyone else to protect me. I also suggest this as the best measure for others who are concerned for their safety. It is merely my contention that the ones who aren't willing to take on this responsibility deserve the same level of response that the police department showed for itself in this case.
