Man, what a joke. Sorry you have to go through this crap.
I have not read the billion posts here, so sorry if this was already said:
Enough with the "full auto assault rifle" in the op. You sound like some typical anti-gun person who knows nothing about guns(I am sure this is not the case). "Full auto," I think not. I doubt it was even 3 round burst capable. Yes, it is a scary looking rifle, but remember that any deer rifle will do more damage than a .233!(but they can all kill you just the same)
I don't mean to be a jerk, I just don't like scare tactics being used against guns.
Again, I hope all turns out in your favor. I can't stand it when cops abuse their power!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Triple word score for BEAR! (good job with the volumious) and a big welcome to PPete!!!
I wondered the same thing, I must have missed that it was full auto..

But don't lose sight. Initially this was a felony stop. They were well within their protocols and standards for a felony stop!

WOW!
Why in the hell would an officer say that? Did he say this after or while it was pointed at him?(either way it is a dumb thing to say, even if true)
I still do not believe that LEOs have full auto ARs. There is no need for it and it endangers the surrounding people. Most military ARs are not even full auto anymore.
Anyway, please not ammo for the AWB freaks!!!!!!!!

surprise, back in 1979 I did a "job shadow" of a rural Ohio Sheriff's Dispatch.... I remember being told that if the [edited: language -- TR] there was a 1928A1 Thompson SMG back in the corner out of sight..... something to do with the glass was bullet resistan but the wall was not....
I looked, it was there!!:shock:
MOST larger departments and probably all that have SRT or SWAT capability have ful;l autos....
"I'd rather be tried by a jury of my peers, than carried by six of my friends..."
Back in the late 60's or early 70's - during the riots - a buddy of mine was working solo guarding a bank. One of the Youngstown PD Sergeants drove by and offered him a Reising. My buddy declined.
A few hours later, while I was checking in long guns at the PD, I found out that gun had never been officially signed out....
They had a couple Thompsons (I never saw those - the Detectives kept them for "difficult" arrests) and a bunch of Reisings. The latter being a .45ACP submachine gun that looks like a fat copy of an M1 Carbine. WWII or Korean War surplus, I expect. Also a mountain of ancient shotguns.
Kicking myself - at the time all I had to do was ask if I wanted to shoot one of those. The rangemaster was a good friend, and needed little inducement to go shoot something.
Regards,
Stu.

As far as full auto is concerned I have seen a full-auto AR, (several) 9mm Uzis, and (several) M14s at a local police department. They also appeared to be the most pro-CCW LEOs I've met so far.

Most police departments have full auto weapons. Many that did not now do. the US gov't is giving away free M16A1s to PDs all over the country and many departments buy H&K MP5s at deep discounts. A lot of old Tommy guns were traded in for those MP5s. Even small rural departments have them.

A college friend (who just got back from Iraq) once told me that the St. Louis PD had a room full of M1928A1s. Somebody offered them 2-3 for one trades on MP5s, to which the SLPD just sneered.
