Knife: Eh? I think you skipped over the word "not" in my reply. Check teh quote.

It's interesting that you bring this up. Last I heard, in Toronto, police holsters have tags on them, like shoplifting tags. How they work is they form a seal over the weapon so that you can't pull your gun out without breaking the seal. If the seal is broken when you get back to the station, guess what? You must fill out some paper work detailing exactly why it was necessary for you to have pulled your gun out!
I don't think I missed the "not" in your reply.
First, you responded to FEL except that your response had little to do with what he said. I didn't address this but it is now causing confusion for me.
Secondly, you said "this is not at all an obvious example of police going "too far" to stop a criminal," as if anyone had said otherwise. I attempted to point out the lack of opposition to this sentence, even by the original poster!
