I'm not a LEO, but began my career as an EMT in early 1975, and a lot of cops were still talking about the lessons learned from this tragic event. I remember one older officer talking bitterly about how he had seen spent brass in the hands and pockets of officers who had been killed in shoot-outs, and how the rangemaster and administration would give you a hard time if you didn't turn in all of your brass in good condition at target practice. I found that incredible - throwing dollars to save a dime has never made any sense to me. As I was soon to learn from the Army - the more you sweat in training, the less you'll bleed in battle.

Regards,

Dave
