Zeus 10/09/21 1:22:31 AM #17:	First, it specifies they were in training so they likely weren't "elite members." Second, given that they were on training exercises, they likely weren't armed with live ammo -- although, if they had been, keep in mind that katanas can cut bullets in half and slow down time. Keep in mind that the cops did have guns, and those bullets didn't stop the guy (and, as a general rule, only a ninja can stop a ninja... or a bad dude). Police officers located the ninja suspect on a nearby road. But the man "refused to follow commands and brandished the sword at deputies," the sheriff's office said. Projectile rounds were used "but were ineffective," it added. Instead, the man ran. When deputies used a Taser on him, he dropped the sword, and deputies were able to take him into custody. He was identified as Gino Rivera, 35. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:958852671] in So much fo...
