First you say he awaits judgment, and in the next breath you declare him criminal. Before even being taken unto custody...Wrong. The majority respond to complaints. Its the free men of societys job to determine if the complaints earns the accused the moniker of criminal. Any of your other rights, and authority you'd like to forfeit on everyone else's behalf?No more than me, or anyone else. Actually... I care more about me, than them. Yet I understand their need.Till they do. Just like "cops".Then who would take a job as a pizza delivery man, florist, accountant, plumber...You're correct. Most police officers shouldn't have them.If nothing else, this should end the whole gun control narrative forever.
Then who would take a job as a police officer?
Pizza delivery men, florists, accountants and plumbers don't have a job confronting criminals all day long.
And cops need guns for the lowlifes that don't like them.
That was the only point I was making. Police officers do need guns. Sure, I may run into a criminal unknowingly, and if I don't have my firearm, may suffer the consequences. However it's different with police because they deliberately go after the criminals. It's their job.
Of course they respond to complaints. A clerk calls police to tell them he or she has just been robbed at the convenient store. It's the job of police officers to locate the suspect, arrest him, and bring him to jail to await a bail judgment. In other words, confronting an armed criminal.
Civilians don't do that. Yes, we now have the right to use deadly force in most states, but it's not our job to locate a criminal and bring him to justice. That's why we have police.
