Well, yes. Of course, they didn't know he was wounded, and I don't know how scared the kid was, but the cops had every reason to be a little apprehensive about their future. After all, they were going house to house knocking on doors, and the fist cop to knock on the right door would probably be met with bullets, shrapnel, or both.

It's not unlike the old WWII method for finding an enemy sniper. You sent one guy out and, when he got killed, you found your sniper.

So, yes, I would imagine the cops were a little worried. I know I damn sure would have been.

Lesson #2 was a given. Never let a good tragedy go to waste. One company is even pulling pressure cookers off their shelves. I'm not kidding.

Onward and upward,
