A CBS News investigation found dozens of law enforcement leaders — sheriffs, captains, lieutenants, chiefs of police — buying and illegally selling firearms, even weapons of war, across 23 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., from the Deep South to the Midwest, Northeast and California coast.
I just want to end armed policing at this point. The whole argument about criminals being well armed holds no water when the police are the ones that armed them.
Governments often arm the enemy to justify their own existence.
Regular police should have been disarmed as soon as SWAT was introduced. If you need weapons, bring in actually trained officers.
This. Just so much this.
