More and more local cops want to disarm the public. They think they’re the only ones who should have guns because the rest of us are too inept and too stupid to possess one.
But speaking of stupid, what’s comical about that is that I have yet to find one cop who is aware of the SCOTUS and numerous other court rulings that establish that the police have no duty to protect us. In essence, they can stand by while you are murdered and walk away with no legal responsibility to have done otherwise (department policy and public opinion would differ, of course, but legally the cops are home free).
The ones working the airports, at least baggage and check-in, aren’t even real cops - they’re just security people hired and (poorly) trained to do that one job. They’re just glorified rent-a-cops. They’re a bunch of union goons who are real impressed with their own authority. We are cattle to them.
Here in TN, the cops (both Nasville metro and State Troopers) are so poorly trained that they needlessly die rather frequently. They don’t even have proper training on how to drive.
