Yes, we should all remember that only these trained professionals are capable of handling the fine art of protecting us. Does anyone think the general population would be treated the same for opening fire on a few innocent citizens? It just backs up my knowledge that the average police officer is inferior in ability to handle a firearm in a stressful situation than the average CCW holder.
I wonder what the 'cop on innocent citizen' homicide rate is vs the 'assault rifle owner on fellow citizen' homicide rate?
I have a gut hunch that police murder more innocents than citizens do with scary looking semi-auto rifles.
