We're the Only Ones Thinking Twice Enough

An off-duty police detective failed a required sobriety test after wounding an armed suspect, leading a union official to suggest Tuesday that officers will think twice about stepping in when they're off the job.

But I thought that was the reason they were among The "Only Ones" permitted to carry in The Big Apple.

If they won't step in, particularly when ordinary people are mandated defenseless, what possible reason could there be to continue allowing it?

And what does it say for how the rulers view us, when armed and drinking enforcers are considered more trustworthy than a sober citizen in a different line of work?
