[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 740669, member: 23371"] I don't live in a high crime area. Quite the opposite. Wealthy areas ( in my case a medium size town) have lots of services and our well funded police dept has all kinds of services and expertises. There are however a disproportionate number of mentally ill and developmentally disabled because of all the local services. The SWAT team gets called to a lot of incidents with mentally ill who are perceived to be threatening someone. I've never heard of them shooting. Certainly there aren't "shoot outs" here. But watching them point all those guns at your child's chest and stun him far more times than was necessary or reasonable is terrifying. I would not put my child in that situation, unless I knew he had a weapon and a plan. No different than a suicide threat. I need to hear a plan and it needs to be credible and imminent. [/QUOTE]
