re: #117 Douchecanoe and Ryan Too

Helicopter snipers have their place in larger states where it is difficult to track dangerous fugitives. I remember watching a TV episode with one such case, a police sniper in Alaska who traded fire from a helicopter with an armed survivalist nutjob on the ground. The bullets passed each other in the air; the cop killed the man, the man killed the cop’s partner. With all that said, I don’t think Texas is quite doing it right.

With states that big, they can just follow the vehicle and wait until it runs out of gas. The case in Texas was not near people, IIRC. The truck was being driven by a 14 year old.
