That's why cops have guns, right, Chief?

He’s kind of a douche, isn’t he...?
Isn’t the best defense a good offense?
A lot of cops feel the same as this clown.
Mr Mayor, immaterial. Your opinion doesn’t matter. The constitution is quite clear: SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. You can decide a sword or a knife or a gun is something bad, but they are still absolutely and completely protected by the constitution.
I’m unclear on the concept here Chief. You and your officers wear guns. And you do this for what reason?
what a fool
As I pointed out on the last thread. Emeryville is located between Oakland and Berkeley and doesn’t reflect the views held in my part of the state.
This guy is a moron and an embarrassment to any self respecting LEO.
So he’s advocating the use of chainmail and mace as defensive weapons?
I have no idea what this moron is saying...
Emeryville is like a postage stamp next to Oakland. I used to work there and my co-workers would try to get me to go out to lunch on San Pablo Ave.
Even in the daytime I wasn’t that stupid.
There aren’t too many places to live there, but if I did, I’d be armed to the teeth.
Time was up until the 70’s all a cop needed to do was flash a badge (star) and that was it. When the courts with their lib lienient sentencing changed this. The gun became is the intimidator and many in law enforcement view it that way. That’s where this guy is comming from .
“This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safe, our police more efficient and the world will follow our lead into the future” Adolf Hitler, 1935.
They do in California.
So Chief, let me get this straight. If the criminals are shooting at your policemen, they don’t use their guns to defend themselves from the bad guys, as well as, shooting at them to kill? A gun can be both a defensive and an offensive weapon, depending on who is brandishing it and what their situation is. For Americans who own guns for defending themselves, their family and their home, it wouldn’t be much of a defensive weapon if it didn’t also have the offensive fire power to stop or kill the bad guys they were trying to protect themselves from, now would it?
What a moron. The Peter Principle kicked in for this guy when he rose to his level of incompetency.
The opening line from an article posted just a few entries above this one:
“An Egyptian security official said Saturday that the interior ministry has agreed to purchase 100,000 new 9mm pistols after low-ranking policemen went on strike demanding greater firepower to defend themselves against increased lawlessness.”
I guess those Egyptian coppers forgot the check with the solons in Emeryville before they gave some thought as to how they were going to protect themselves in their own hellholes.

I was not able to read the article. the G** Damned commercial came on, covered two paragraphs and was drowned out my radio.
I just moved on. Screw any G D “news”paper that does crap like that.
