Well excuse me Lil’ Miss but I think you should go back to your quilting circle with the other frightened womenfolk.
“Because trust me on this, no one who lives in a large city wants their cops disarmed.”
No one means no one. And I’m sure we can dig up a few law abiding citizens in large cities that would rather see “THEIR” police walking in pairs, on bicycles with no guns and just night sticks and radios.
Only the State has the authority to take life. The law enforcement police are officers of the State or a municipality under the State assigned to enforce the law. They have the authority to use deadly force to enforce the law if required. That is why they wear a sidearm.
Removing deadly force from law enforcement simply gives more power to those other than the State.
FWIW, the person killed in custody also had a history of over 22 arrests in his 7 yrs as an adult without any reference to offenses as a minor.
It strongly appears this racist Administration is doing everything possible to foment riots throughout the US and not exercising authority to enforce the law, thereby creating civil disorder and anarchy, which would justify their removing our freedom to enforce peace by tyranny.
Freedom without authority is anarchy. Authority without freedom is tyranny.
The situation is simple. Law enforcement has the authority to use deadly force when required to protect the sanctity of freedom, property, and life. If their ability to use force is removed, anarchy will evolve.
Cops can 'walk in pairs, on bicycles with no guns' in lawful white communities - or Asian communities or Hispanice or Indian communities.
They could NEVER do that in inner city black hellholes - they would be killed. A person would have to be nuts to treat inner city blacks the same way as lawful citizens are treated.... because they don't ACT the same way. Look at the crime statistics. Read the numbers. Reality is out there...
Trust me - cops would love to police places like Martha's Vineyard rather than hellholes like black Baltimore...
Ever wonder why the Obama's NEVER vacation in the black community? And never will. For the same reason cops are armed to the gills in black communities....
