Law & Order
Conflict
All modern police forces need high-quality, effective and reliable firearms to deal with various situations, ranging from arresting a suspect to controlling a terrorist. In the UK police hardly ever carry firearms, whereas in America they are virtually essential. The Glock 22, for example, is often seen as a perfectly-adapted weapon for law enforcment, as is the SIG Sauer P220 - they're lightweight, trusty and easy to conceal. Since 9/11, the threat from terrorists has grown around the world, and more firepower is required to prepare for the possibilities of an attack. Special police forces have also been introduced in recent years, such as bomb disposal squads; these groups can deal with anything from crisis situations to recently-discovered mines from previous wars.

However, Harry is a skilled cop and takes a knife as well, eager for retribution. Harry is saved by his young assistant, and manages to wound Scorpio's leg. When they find him again, he tortures the killer by standing on his injured leg, He quickly gets a confession, but the courts argue that the killer cannot be charged because Callahan had no search warrant before he entered Scorpio's house.
