Yea, well, I guess the real issue here is: in what realistic, and reasonably chanced, situation would cops need guns if the drug trade was no longer illegal?




What about TERRORISTS???

I'm absolutely serious.
If there was a bank robbery, why couldn't there be a specially trained group that is on duty 24/7 to be called in to deal with bank robberies. They would, out of the necessity of the situation, be armed.
In fact, with the actual amount of robberies, these special units could be trained to handle all the other duties required of armed officers.

Of course there is always the chance of a random looney that insists on his right to have a gun, and he decides to use it on somebody. But then again, I'm pretty sure we could invent tasers with enough range to safely dispatch of said looney.

Nope, I don't see any reason why patrolling officers need anything more than mace, billy club, and taser. That's enough power right there for what they should be doing.

In all seriousness I think they do need to be armed, I've seen many stories about cops pulling someone over and getting shot/shot at because the person who got pulled over had a warrant out for them or a dead body in the car or whatever.  They just need to be held more accountable for their actions, and subject to severe punishment when they use a firearm in a situation when it is not called for.

Not all violence is caused by drug prohibition.

Lol, we pay for these people to train and work, I'd rather them not get shot in the face by some criminal scum and have to pay and retrain more officers because you are too afraid of them being able to defend themselves in a life or death situation when someone else has a gun.


You want to have officers carry tasers while criminals have guns? You are brilliant.

I understand where you are coming from if you are talking about in large urban areas. I should have made my perspective a little more clear. I don't believe that in an area like where I live, that has a population of ~50,000 that police need to have guns. The amount of armed crimes that go on here is few if any per year.
There is no one homogenized answer for anything really I suppose.

Criminals don't live only in urban areas.  How about the crazy redneck who gets shit faced and takes his wife hostage with a shotgun?  Or someone who gets hammered and holds up their local wal-mart?  Haha, seriously man, it's not like we have some extreme situation where we have an epidemic of cops just going around capping people for no reason.

People go crazy with guns.  You are never going to convince a majority vote or anywhere close to that that we'd be better off with a police force that walks around with a flashlight, stun gun and walkie talkie.  I don't know where you live but I'm not in an urban environment but I know that there are plenty of jackasses who would run amok if there wasn't a police force also armed with equal fire power or as close as possible.

There are more people imprisoned for the commission of drug offenses in the United States - close to 500,000 - than are incarcerated in England, France, Germany, and Japan for all crimes combined.  Examined in another way, the United States has 100,000 more people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses than all the countries of the European Union combined, despite the fact that the European Union has 100 million more citizens. :crankey:

Back on topic, an aggressive dog shouldn't be allowed to roam loose to begin with. I don't necessarily advocate poping it in the head, but I think the majority of the fault is on the owner who let his dog get loose in the first place.

If I was minding my own business and a pit bull (or something resembling a pit bull) came out of nowhere and started attacking me or my dog I would certainly be pissed and I would certainly kick the shit out of the pit bull. Now shooting it might be taking it to an extreme level, but if your dog attacks me or anyone/anything else thats just minding it's own business don't be suprised when it gets fucked up.

I have a pitbull, and in her prime she and I would wrestle. I always had to go easy on her because it would be so easy to just completely pick her ass up and put her on her back with my knee in her throat without thinking. While yes, dogs have teeth and will bite and she wasn't at the time, you just give them your arm, they'll latch on, and then you can snap literally every leg, break their neck, and do all sorts of crazy damage while all you'll get is some bite marks and a few scratches.

I never understood the people who get owned by dogs. Pussies imo.

You guys don't seem to understand that I'm not for removing all guns from the police force, but I don't think that just because one has a badge that his specific job duties necessitate a firearm.
True, they may NEED them in high risk areas. But it isn't like there have not been wrong shooting on behalf of the police.
I just think there should be a special division of the police forces that are more trained and psychologically tested to handle firearms.

Sounds like more money spent from the tax payers. They can just stop locking up people for a plant, and then whenever the police carry a firearm it means something. If you regulate drugs, treat addiction LIKE AN ADDICTION, and not a crime, then the police walking around with guns doesn't really bother me anymore. They'll have them for any sort of robbery, rape, or murder, but there's no fear of them pointing a gun at you because you grow 10 plants in your closet.

ok, ok.

I have decided to allow cops to have guns after all.

I also may have been high, and envisioning cops in hovercars in high tech uniforms. :vaped:

But then again. That cop had no right or reason to shoot that dog!

The wounded dog resembles a pit bull but is actually an Argentine Dogo. It's being treated by a veterinarian
.




Is this a first in a news story? Actually getting the breed correct.

I am blown away.

Did they follow the dog trough the doggie door or did he have the pot growing on his front porch?
