Law enforcement's right to deadly force has never sat well with me. Shoot first, ask questions later doesn't work so well when they're dead.

	You can't ask questions if YOU'RE dead, either. Aim for an extremity, preferably the one holding the gun. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-03 10:55 am UTC (link)
	Or any extremity, really. Something non-vital. Because most people have never been shot before, and the shock of it happening? Will make them drop whatever they're holding and give you time to rush them while they cry like a baby. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I've found, miss, that depends entirely on whom one is shooting at, and what questions need answers. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Or whether or not you'd like to see someone punished for their crime, or die like a coward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dead's dead, and that's always seemed punishment enough to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eventually, sure. But remorse only comes from suffering, it's the only way you learn. What good's justice if nobody learns? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orbisnonsuficit 2009-01-06 10:39 am UTC (link)
	In my experience, people don't learn, you see. They just keep coming up with new and different schemes to do the same old things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-06 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	And in my experience, somebody can always be made to learn. You just have to find the right way to be persuasive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A good thing, then, that I was never asked to rehabilitate anyone I was sent after. I suppose I don't have the temperament for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-06 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Neither do I, normally. But there are always exceptions. Although technically, I'm supposed to leave the rehabilitation up to the penal system. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orbisnonsuficit 2009-01-07 01:59 am UTC (link)
	That tends not to be the ultimate destination of most of the fellows I meet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-07 02:03 am UTC (link)
	I can't say I'm surprised to hear that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We all have our duties to Queen and Country. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-07 11:28 am UTC (link)
	I suppose you're right, although she's not my queen, even if this is her country. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orbisnonsuficit 2009-01-07 01:00 pm UTC (link)
	And yours would include...? I'm sorry, I believe I've neglected to introduce myself. The name is Bond. James Bond. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-07 01:43 pm UTC (link)
	A pleasure, Mr. Bond. I'm Detective Inspector Herald - Athena, if you like. Recently arrived from the States. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orbisnonsuficit 2009-01-07 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	Athena. The pleasure is all mine. What expatriated you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-07 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	The need for a change of career and scenery. I'd always loved London, so it seemed a natural choice. Can I ask just exactly what it is you do for Queen and Country, or would you have to kill me if I knew? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orbisnonsuficit 2009-01-08 02:12 pm UTC (link)
	I know the feeling. Of course. I'm a senior analyst with MI6. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-09 01:35 am UTC (link)
	"Senior analyst", huh? I had a hunch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orbisnonsuficit 2009-01-09 10:18 am UTC (link)
	It is a really bloodless euphemism, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-09 10:57 am UTC (link)
	Only when prefaced by talk of going after people. You might want to keep an eye on that next time. But don't worry, you're not the only analyst I know, and I know enough to leave it at that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orbisnonsuficit 2009-01-09 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	I had a feeling you were something of a, let's say, fellow traveler. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-09 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, not me. An old friend of mine, a roommate from college. I'm just your run-of-the-mill detective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orbisnonsuficit 2009-01-09 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	Close enough for government work, as they say. Oh, really? One of ours, or a 'Yank'? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icedetective 2009-01-09 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, an American. Maybe you've run into her during your travels. Brown hair, ability to kill with her pinky, answers to "Shannon" (usually). (Reply to this) (Parent)
