You know, if we didn’t allow police to carry guns they’d lay off and choose their battles rather than initiating battles due to a loaded gun and boredom.

💯 if you give people toys they want to use them. As time goes by without using it, the threshold of their ability to hold back gets smaller and smaller.
AFAIK in Norway patrol police don't carry guns, they're locked in the car and need the permission of the chief or some designated official to be unlocked.
Obviously they unlock it during really threatening scenarios, therefore no trigger happy "accidents" all over the place.
The reason why cops are so heavily armed in the United States is because there are over 440 million guns among the citizens of the United States.
It's a vicious cycle of violence.

These days they are taught to fear everything, and magdump their automatics into anyone and everyone.
