I think that is what makes you and I different, my friend. There are more peaceful ways to deal with violence. Violence only begets more violence. I choose a more peaceful path.
if it was me and I had to deal with a knife-wielding man and I had a tank clearly that would be my first choice. you wouldn't?
No, I wouldn't. I have been facet to face with a weapon on several ocassions and I did not need a tank to disarm the person.
I didn't say "need" I said want and that was only because you didn't have one handy. The tank is the peaceful path, the knife wielder is safer because the people who have to deal with him are safe from him. police tanks are typically outfitted for defensive use. except that one janet reno had.
