The expensive firearms for police don't result in lower crime rates or gang-bangers taking dirt naps.

So you're advocating for wet noodles again?

Nope. Radio for most. Firearms for a special squad.

If police can't go in some neighborhoods without each and every one of them carrying heavy weapons, that neighborhood needs a rework that the police aren't currently doing.

Gotta rethink what is going to work, and quit doing what doesn't work.

I'm not paying for you police to keep things as they are, I'm paying for you to work yourselves out of a job.
