You can say that again.Eye-opening set of responses.
Background:
It’s about 0300 in the morning, pitch black and still hotter than blazes. You’re about fifteen to twenty miles from the next officer and in the middle of a bunch of south Texas scrub brush. The area is heavily traveled by both illegal aliens and dope smugglers. Dope smugglers carry their dope in regular backpacks or large duffle bags. The militant arm of the drug cartel has spread the word that any dope smugglers that give up their dope without a struggle will be killed.
Situation:
You get a report of possible illegal traffic along a particular route, so you go to investigate. This particular route is a power line clear-cut. You decide to hide ahead of where these people will probably come out of the brush and use your night vision goggles to see if they’re coming. After about half an hour of waiting you see what looks like people walking towards you off in the distance. You watch a little bit longer to make sure and finally determine that seven to ten people are coming your way. At least half of them look like they have backpacks on and the last guy has something like a stick. You figure you’ve got one to two minutes to set up your ambush. What do you do?
...
Let me paint you into a corner here; It is your job to take those 7-10 into custody,or at the bare minimum, establish their legitimacy to be doing what they're doing. What do you do now?
