They showed a fair amount of restraint. So we don't know what kind of toys they have.
Since the airport shares the runway with an air base, it's guarded by National Guard guys with auto weapons. Other than that, the cops have done what cops in other towns have done, substituted guns for talking people down.

(14,733 posts)A dozen or two pistols, a lot of rifles, one 'riot type shotgun', a bomb disposal kit, and three 'utility trucks', one around 25k, two around 50k. Our sheriff is rabidly anti-immigrant, but apparently not too worried about riots.
