FBI agents and there AR-15s at the Alabama hostage crisis.

Does anyone else find it ironic that while they say that civilians don't have a need for AR-15s for protection that 20+ FBI agents fully decked out with body armor needed them against one old guy in a hole in the ground.

Are law enforcement officers lives weather it be Federal, State, or Local worth more than civilians.....

Did something happen or am I missing too much news nowadays?

And of course they're more important than us!

I don't think we will go there. It's not a fair comparison. It will lead to LEO bashing, I'm afraid.
