I really don't care if cops have to deal with that. It's their job.

If they don't want to do it, find another one. The world could use fewer armed right-wing meathead goons.

Or try de-escalation for a change.

To add:

If cops are afraid of civilians having this hardware, they're in the same boat as the rest of us. Maybe they'll have some incentive to lobby for laws that would keep all of us safe.

But instead they lobby for things like perpetuating the decades long "war on drugs," which is largely what this breach and clear shit is used for.

They want to wage war on civilians. And, really, just some civilians.

And they make a point to be the biggest baddest and scariest. Like mother fuckers you already have the monopoly on the legitimate use of force. You'd be terrifying bringing lever action rifles and revolvers against someone with a kalishnakov, because if shit goes down bad enough you can bring in the national guard or rope in a bunch of deputies, or just the fact that yall have the power to imprison people without governments getting mad
