But...but...but...

We've been told for years that the only thing these weapons are good for is "spray-firing" from the hip into crowds of innocent civilian bystanders, killing as many of them as possible is a short amount of time.

Why would the Boston Police Department want to arm its officers with such dangerous and indiscriminate killing machines?

The fact that this is the same police department that who managed to kill an innocent college student with what was essentially a glorified paintball gun doesn't exactly bode well for the residents of Boston.
