Arm the cops to the teeth. Put the fear into criminals and make it known there will be consequences for being a douchebag.
This argument of if cops are armed so should I is nonsense. You don't go to bed or work each day with the expectations of being in a fight and dealing with the lowest of the low.
In a situation where you may possibly draw a firearm on someone with say a bat, it's not about shooting the prick but scaring him into compliance.
Maybe you should take Jexla on a ride along so he can be educated.
As a side note, all the cops around the airport area (not just airside) are armed and it hasn't caused any escalation that I'm aware of?
