Is that police officers jobs have them actively going towards and engaging these criminals, not just accidentally stumbling upon them like the postman.
- euyyn 10y agoA private security guard does too. And surely most of the time a police office is dealing with law-breakers that aren't violent, or that aren't carrying a firearm if they're violent?
