ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Try looking at it from their point of view. I did. I can only reiterate that I'm glad I don't live over there. I would probably have responded the same way, if it came to the point of breaking the windows, given that six targets are hard to take out. Yes, I realize you don't need to turn the ignition all the way to operate the windows, but that's a simple thing to forget or botch, which undercover police should be aware of (and they should also be aware that being out of uniform makes you harder to identify). The police are paid to handle things a bit more gracefully than the average citizen might, and to take risks we don't expect the average citizen to take. Without that, what good are they? Why would one jump on the car or try to break the windows, anyway? If they were worried the girls were gonna drive off, either of those actions would be a bad idea. IWYW, — Aswad.
