We're the Only Ones "For the Children" Enough

"The subject turned toward the deputies, and as he was doing that the barrel of the weapon was rising toward the deputies," Henry said. The deputy then fired rounds, killing the boy. [More]
Here's an experiment you can try yourself.  Go out in public and yell at some random person from behind to drop what they're carrying.

See if their first reaction is to turn and see if you're talking to them or if they just immediately comply.

My, how times have changed.

And the heirs of Liberty have not only allowed it to be done to them, but in most cases demanded it. Just look at some of the comments under the linked article.

And this is one of the best arguments I can think of for why open carry needs to be normalized instead of feared, condemned and prohibited.

... and why all LEOs need to be disarmed while on duty. If they don't like it, they can quit and find an HONEST job, then they can be armed like the rest of us.

I noticed one of the commenters went with the hollyweird "shoot it out of his hands". A lot of comments about what bravery the cops showed in the face of danger. What a bunch of badge lickers.

Seriously? LEOs need to be disarmed while ON DUTY?

Absolutely the most ignorant thing I have ever seen written on the internet, bar none.

Your comment is full of nothing but hate and vitriol, it makes zero sense. How is that supposed to do anything but boost your ego?

Not even sure why I am bothering since there is almost zero chance this post will make it to the site.

Isn't is ironic that what used to be standard (no guns for cops while on duty) is now "the most ignorant thing", "nothing but hate and vitriol", and "makes zero sense"? At least to copsuckers who are ignorant of history and blind to where changing that wise policy has led.
