Lots of cop-haters, aren’t there?
I’m lucky enough to live in an area where most LEOs still regard themselves as public servants, and carry out their duties accordingly.
That notwithstanding it amuses me to see the calls for magical hai karate nightstick moves.
It’s just like people who have never seen a firearm except in a movie wondering why policemen or civilians just don’t shoot the lunatic’s gun/knife/scissors out of his hand, or shoot out the tires on a speeding getaway car.
What’s more we often see (rightly, IMO) staunch defense offered by posters when a private citizen blows away a thug who threatens any kind of violence.

Kinda tells you how the general population regards LEOs doesn’t it! And they also know if they “take care of business themselves,” 1) They don’t have to wait for “help” to arrive and 2) their family pets will not be at risk.
