“I believe that most of the problem with the police lies with the higher administration of the police. “
That’s funny because last time I checked “cops” have wide discretionary powers. Yet they are the ones busting people for carrying. Carrying a weapon is a clear (The Clearest) constitutional right. Last time I checked “bear arms” means to carry. It doesn’t make any distinction between hidden or in the open. Union Thugs with guns want to be able to mow down compliant citizens as they please. With no distractions or resistance.

If this were an isolated incident. Fine. But it’s not.
Yet cops want guns off the street... Wonder why?

I agree that the problem lies mostly with the unions. Another aspect of it is training. Because of union influence most of the training is designed to protect the officer rather than the citizens. How often have we seen citizens, many of them innocent, snatched from their cars, thrown to the ground, jumped on by officers, usually with a knee in the back, and handcuffed while other officers are in a crouched position with guns at the ready and aimed at the citizen?
I am amazed that many people aren't accidentally shot during that process. If one is, there is usually a throw-down gun handy to CYA.
I strongly support the police, individually, and I have several friends who are LEO. Out of about five, only one is a good guy whose concern is the citizen. All are good guys socially, but on the job the others are not the best. They look out for themselves regardless of how it affects the citizen.
