Not in the slightest.
A few folks on this board lament that fact that police are not Andy Taylor. What they refuse to internalize is that Otis Campbell now has an Uzi and blames them for his drunkenness.
Romanticism is bunk, reality means addressing things as they are.
It's pleasant for nobody.

Whether or not a bad guy has a gun or not, he can lose his life if he puts up a fight to a cop. Cops are trained not to take a beating and they are also trained to make a fast kill shot if they are in a situation to use the gun. Not take out a leg, but kill, stop the bad guy for sure, not put him down still able to fight, but make sure the fight is over for him completely, and fast. It is how they are trained, drilled into them to make that shot count without farting around. Sounds bad, but that is what cops go through in training. And a cops training is never done. They have in service training every year ( manditory ) to keep them in check. Unless not all states are the same.

Not only guns, but cops have other worries with being in a fight with the bad guys too. Like when they get scratched up together swapping blood and then after the bad guy is in cuffs it is learned that he has HIV or AIDS. A brother of mine had to be tested for 6 months after getting blood on him ( the guy had AIDS ) and I remember the worry he had on his mind during those 6 months.

I'm slightly left of center (liberal?).
The math should still be the same less you're NOT dealing in reality.

I'm not a Democrat. I changed from Republican to Independent about 10 years ago. I look at most Democratic politicians with disgust. However, I look at most Republicans with revulsion.
