Our people couldn't get away with this here The Brits are pretty short with this sort of thing. A former co-worker of mine was a Brit from Birmingham, and he said when the Brit equivelant of the SWAT is called out, someone's dead in short order. He told me a story to illustrate - some kid was waving a .22 around on the street and yelling profanities at passers-by. Within an hour, their special police unit showed up in riot gear, shot the guy dead, gathered up the body, and called it a day. No questions, no negotiation, just one dead nutter for the morgue. That's hardcore. Derek
