Cops carry guns for their protection, not your’s. That is the bottom line.

Hmmm.... That is not what I learned on 1 Adam 12

“Individual fire extinguishers will be outlawed because we have complete Fire Departments for fighting fires.”
Same logic as private ownership of arms being outlawed because we already have Police Departments for protection!

“The gun-ban crowd always assumes that people are stupid.

The people who vote for the gun ban politicians ARE stupid.

[VanDeKoik]

Police 99.9% of the time arrive at a crime scene.

i.e. to clean up what’s left of you.

IMO ... too many LE agencies have become a liability to the general public. Instead of serve and protect LE has become “too harass and too shakedown”. Either LE polices itself ... which it has shown it is loathe to do ... or the public polices it via citizens groups or re-build it from the ground up into what it was meant to be ... we can start by holding individual officers personally responsible for egregious mis-conduct ... eliminating the militarization of local LE and remove any incentive for LE to be a government “revenue enhancement” agency.

Yes, the police are crime historians.

‘I CARRY A GUN BECAUSE A COP’S TO HEAVY!’

I always thought this was common knowledge, but apparently not.

[TBP]

What is their job, then?
