I don’t agree. We’d have a different type of person in the police force. It would be a public service again and not “a job”. It would be the folks who are willing to put themselves between the bad stuff out there, and the rest of folks.
Without some specific polling to prove it, I would bet a large number of police out there are already this type. You can be a protector mindset individual under the modern rules and no one will even bat an eye at the story.
Basically you do for everyone what most folks just do for their own wife and kids. Be willing to stand between them and danger. The exact opposite of the cops that sat outside on their hands for an hour at that school shooting.
Sorry I just look at stories like this and go “we have the wrong type of people……. They don’t protect and serve the public, just themselves.
I don’t. But which makes more sense … The man pulled the gun from the holster and it fell to the floorboards when he was shot, or he kept his gun on the floor of the car at his feet as he drove around instead of in the holster? Which would you do?
