	This is just plain stupid.  "no adults"? "most of them are in
prison"?

	Fine.  Why don't we force all police departments to use only the
weapons that criminals use (although in drug cases, this may actually
be desired considering some drug dealers advanced weaponry).  Do you
think its fair that hundreds of stone throwers surround and stone cars
with Jewish civilians, often resulting in Jewish fatalities?  Do you
think it is fair that these same stone throwers often surround 1 or
two IDF soldiers, leaving them no choice but to shoot or be killed?
