That's what the police want you to think.

Look how they handle school shooters. 300+ cops responded to Uvalde, TX, and they just sat around with their thumbs up their asses for hours. Similar in Newtown, CT. Similar in Parkland, FL. Similar in Columbine, CO.

When there is no real threat, police make a big show of using force. When there is an actual possibility of danger, they find any reason they can to fuck right off. Look at any of the Open Carry protests/demonstrations that have been held throughout the US, or even Cliven Bundy's standoff against the Bureau of Land Management.

The government is terrified of another Ruby Ridge or Waco. A peaceful exercise of the First Amendment right to assembly, with simultaneous peaceful exercise of the 2nd Amendment is much more effective than either alone.

Not if they're outnumbered. These men are fundamentally cowards. That's why they're doing this in states with gun control laws.

And how many times do police just say the person they gunned down was armed, but later shown that the person wasn't armed?
