I do and this incident is the reason the police are so militaristic. Until then, the heaviest thing the patrol cars would carry was a shot gun. SWAT, ERT, or whatever their special units are called were the only ones that carried assault rifles.

The police, going paramilitary, would probably have happened anyway but this was what gave it the good kick in the ass to get it moving that way.

First time I had ever seen someone die on live tv was this news coverage.
