      Because police kill people every fucking day by mistake. Many countries do not arm police, they have highly trained squads with guns they call, and those guys don’t spray bullets when they are nervous.

          More guns = more shootings. It’s pretty fucking obvious.

          Because then you either have a tiny police force or you lower standards for gun discipline.

      Why? They’re cops not the military. They shouldn’t exist in the first place, but at least being unarmed is preferable.

          Where you live there must be no rape/murder/violence because the police stop it all?

          Empowered communities able to defend themselves are a much better method of preventing and stopping crime than policing is.
