Thread: Why frontline cops should be armed

He did not need to say he was a cop due to the mustache, but this was confirmed later. All I could think was, how the f*ck did he get there by 8am if we stumbled home to a random location at 2am? All he said was "I have come to pick up Sarah" to which I thought "well, that's a relief". Can't see that guy needing a gun very often.

If you have a rapidly expanding wealth gap and a police force that is increasing in power and armament alongside the growing wealth gap, where are you headed? Backwards.

Speaking of the wealth gap, look what Oxfam have said today...
