"strict remit".. so expand on that. what should fall to the police to handle, as armed guards. and what should be left to un-armed responders?

http://library.college.police.uk/docs/a ... 9.3.19.pdf Is an interesting examination of some of the considerations in play.
Sweden shows no police killings and an average of 15 guns fired per annum out if 1.4m instances of police activity.
The guiding principle continues to be direct and imminent threat to human life either for the officers or the public. Here again only if the police have control over the area of discharge to avoid accidental casualties.

A brief (If unnuanced) examination of policing in Japan. Common to all these is the inherent lack of guns and lack of use in every conceivable situation.
To me police should only need to go in strong and armed when their is known and immediate threat to life.

The clear obstruction of justice from the Trump administration right now is unreal.

Trump performing to a half empty arena. Some highlights: talk about our “heritage” in regard to the Confederacy, complaining about a ramp, drinking a glass of water to show off, suggesting less COVID testing, my supporters could beat up liberals, calling COVID the Kung Flu
As a bonus, one of his three special needs sons called BLM protesters “animals”.

Re: Random Political Comments
Although in all seriousness your point proves mine. You’re saying more guns means more danger that cops have to react to and exactly proves why the police doesn’t currently work.zombie wrote:keep in mind, the difference between united states gun ownership and other countries.showa58taro wrote:Common to all these is the inherent lack of guns and lack of use in every conceivable situation.

Re: Random Political Comments
more potential for danger, so you can't be sure what you're walking into. we're in agreement that some change needs to be made. i'm just not sure how much of that change should be un-armed responders.showa58taro wrote:Although in all seriousness your point proves mine.

Lmao. They claimed protesters outside were blocking people from coming in. Meanwhile, footage at the gates showed people freely walking into the arena all day.showa58taro wrote:But they said that 19.8k stadium was expecting 800,000Headhunter wrote:Trump performing to a half empty arena.

You don't want armed guards. Everybody's got a gun, or a threat of one.

Re: Random Political Comments
Even if they were blocking them from coming in, conservatives love to portray themselves as toughies and act like they are the only ones with guns. I thought they could just rough up *antifa*?

Tom Petty would not have wanted Trump to use his song. It's funny because I Wont Back Down would make a better song for protesters. Lol. Pretty sure they can get some Charlie Daniels or Wang Dang Sweet Poontang by the Nuge.
