So this cropped up on the internet today and there has been a lot of comment and furore concerning what actually happened.
For my money’s-worth, I am definitely in the “give-’em-a-break, for-God’s-sake” camp. I mean, really! In the great scheme of things, why is this even coming up on the radar? What is it that they did so wrong?
At the very least, one could argue that they were field testing important tactical equipment. Seriously. If a riot shield can’t hold up to an impromptu session of tobogganing then it follows that it would not be up to the task of taking a few slaps from the Great Unwashed.
Sounds like important research to me…
