Footprints in the Windsm # 1581–Dead gunmen give no intell
Footprints in the Windsm # 1581
Dead gunmen give no intell. Can we learn from the comic books? Are guns our only weapons? Throw a net over them. Brain-fog them with chemicals. Flash-bangs like the Boston Marathon bomber got. Walk away from the car chase and let drones track them. If we have them alive we might find out something useful from interrogation. Deny them their suicide by cop. Keep cops out of harm’s way. Rethink this thing. The bad guys can think of only the killings; we can think of many alternative endings. Dead bad guys cannot hurt us anymore. Nor can they help us.
So we got our man. And a dead end. Until we can plug dead men’s brains into a computer and find out what we need to know, killing seems the way to draw down over the event the dark of night. Until the next one.
Please pass it on.
