Thread: Why frontline cops should be armed

Now the "Cops being Cops doesn't happen so the teenagers often push the boundary's and become "Dicks being Vandals" and onwards towards "crims being crims" and now the cops have a bigger mess to deal with.....The officer at the end of the phone went quiet and said he would send someone when he got the chance....

I dont know if anyone actually came but thats beside the point. Point is, if kids are taught proper boundary's when they start pushing, they dont push so far past the boundarys that we have to move the boundarys to get them back.

Exactly!
