Cops and Robbers (Posted on 2002-08-17) Difficulty: 2 of 5
There is a shoot-out going on behind a school somewhere in the US. The shoot-out is between a group of cops and a band of robbers. One of the robbers was shot in the heart, and one of the police officers was shot in the head. Neither died, but instead went to the sidelines to watch, talk, and laugh.

The police managed to get the robbers under control, but the robbers were not sent to jail. This is not a game between children. Can you answer these questions?

1. Why didn't those shot die?
2. What kind of school is this?
3. Why aren't the robbers in jail?
4. What on earth is going on here?

1. They were shot with laser guns.
2. a state police academy.  Here they are used to train each state's police squads.)

3. The robbers are police in thug's clothing, so to speak.

4. This is a training activity for a police academy. The robbers are studing to become police officers just like the men/women that played the cops. The simulation is a shoot-out between police an a band of neighborhood thugs. This way, both groups get practise for a mission that they may someday face.
