All I have to say is "What is good for the goose is also good for the gander".

Non ad alios quam ad vos in hoc non - esse primo!

Essentially, do unto others, just be first to act!

I don't know about LA cops, but the service weapon for a NYC cop has a 12 pound (maybe a bit heavier) trigger pull.  Takes a hella practice with that to get anywhere near accurate.

Interesting, I wonder how universal that is?  Or if it is a standard in most large urban areas?
