Its a sad thing to say but Dorner is giving terrorist a game plan on how to attack law enforcement in the US.
I did not believe that they were as weak as they appear after the 9/11 day of infamy but they are.
Consider this. What if this guy stayed on the attack. He certainly would have been hunted down and killed but the death toll that he could have extracted from the LAPD boggles the mind.
Something else to consider. The LAPD and surrounding law enforcement agencies indicate the fear that they must feel because they're firing on unarmed/uninvolved civilians.
We have one man hiding in a geographic area that contains millions of people. We don't know what contingencies he has built into his planning and for all we know he could be in Texas by now.
My point is quite simply this. The US is NOT ready for a Mumbai style attack...not with our border wide open...not with their being clear indications that people from Muslim countries have crossed....not with law enforcement seeming able to only act decisively against law abiding citizens.
Mumbai?
ReplyDeleteHeck, we couldn't stop a Boy Scout troop intent on mischief much less a serious terrorist attack.
we could eventually round up and arrest those Boy Scouts, but they could roam with complete freedom for 24-hours.
The entire Justice system/LE philosophy is one of deterrence. It is HOPED that we can deter criminals from acting by relying on excellent, but fundamentally reactive investigative work and prosecution with jail time. For those who are looking for a one-way ticket to oblivion or who just don't care about consequences, we haven't the resources to prevent or stop them until after they've wreaked havoc.
