There was a shoot-out in Duluth, and the bad guy bought it at the finish. Hooray for the forces of good. Strangely, and this might just be my particular senstitivity, the Journal-Constitution says Gwinett SWAT officers never used their guns. Why not? If these particular police officers want to parade about in their paramilitary gear, festoon themselves with high-powered weaponry, and stencil "ARMED THUG" on their Kevlar vests, why aren't they running into the house to shoot the bad guy? If they aren't going to put themselves in harm's way, then why are they SWAT? What makes them more special than the regular police?

Arrrrgh!!!!!1! <FX: syringe makes another appearance>
