Believe me when I/WE say: They could have wiped them out in a matter of minutes.
Minutes? more like a minute, also think of this, south of the town im in has seen several shoot outs between idoits with guns and police men. Example: Last year a shooting acured between two suspects and several police officers, the shoot out lasted until the suspects were aprehended with no one being hurt or killed, this can not be said for the cars in between them though. The officers involved had decided(due to the fact that no people were around) to try and take them with having to kill them.
