This is how policing is done in Europe. the Brits have unarmed bobbies and armed tactical police. The French have unarmed traffic and beat cops and the national armed police forces two actually the Police nationale and National Gendarmerie . It doesn’t take guns to write a speeding ticket. Police need to go back to being civil servants who work for us the taxpayers and not jackboot storm troopers.
N.M. has lost and have had shot at many state troopers to the everyday traffic stop. The interstate drug runners would love to see the European model of unarmed traffic police I bet.
