By making it so that they can only have inconvenient ranged firepower that is locked up in the car, they can't kill people nearly as often nor with ease. The only time they should be using firepower, is with coordination with dispatch and the PD anyways. It is harder to shoot a black dude in the back, if you don't have a gun by default. As we have seen with the protests in Minneapolis and other places, people don't readily kill enforcers, despite having just cause and the 2nd Amendment. The claims of cops needing a gun at all times is a lie, perpetuated by the oligarchy to protect their interests. permalink fedilink source parent
