I don't know which was more offensive, your printing a photo of a police officer showing and explaining how to use a G36 machine gun to a young boy, or that our police department would actually exploit this situation.

What on Earth are either of you thinking? I was on the board of PALs in the Los Angeles area some years ago, and we certainly had a better way of associating the police and young people than bringing out the artilliary.
