Cops don't need guns to deal with the majority of citizens. And they don't use them (use=take them out) the majority of time.

Cops do need guns when they are dealing with criminals that have guns.

If you take away officer's guns

1)you'd have less people willing to be cops (which you might consider a good thing)
2)the power that officers have would greatly diminish(which you might consider a good thing)

You keep bringing up points that i'm not even arguing against so miss me with...

>ppl adhere to cops to an alarming degree.

ppl usually do whatever they say, neglecting to exercise their constitutional rights.

the media sucks cops off on the daily.



and even if ppl don't comply with an officer, death should not be the penalty.

that's what court is for.

What countries btw are you referring to where the police don't have guns, but gun ownership and gun related homicides in the public are high?
