2003 ambush and murders of three birmingham policemen and the same in 2004 of two athens policemen....there was a voluntary partial holdout of facts by the media at the requests of law enforcement agencies to suppress the widespread knowledge that centerfire rifle rounds readily defeat soft body armour.....we all knew that but at the time most honest citizens and criminals alike , even the gun savvy assumed otherwise and the authorities feared sporadic copycat crimes like we have already seen in the days since the dallas massacres.....

From a 'anon' source in Dallas, so take it for what it's worth.

Micah may be mangled, but I'd bet that rifle still works.
