If, however, a van or truck blocks the good guys, the pursuit is abandoned, with no further effort from the good guys, nor any radio call. Standoffs with everyone pointing guns at each other never end in anyone getting shot. The main characters enter situations with only basic vests, if any, no helmets, and carrying only sidearms, while the SWAT guys are dressed and armed for a small war. Good guys always telegraph coming around corners, either by shadow or showing their gun; by the time they turn the corner they could be shot multiple times. Oh, and one last thing-cops in suits and dress shoes can always outrun a skinny young street punk on speed.
What else, gang????
are we limiting this to movies? because a lot of this looks like CSI:type stuff.
what I learned from CSI:
DNA analysis can be completed in seconds
any case can be finished/solved in one day
anyone can recover from any wound/injury (unless he/she's been written off the show)
investigators are also SWAT leaders, sharp shooters, SCUBA divers, archaeologists, etc, whatever is needed
but, it's just TV, if I want reality, I read the newspaper.
