These are just platitudes about "heroes" and "public servants". I want police that are effective. If someone is threatening you with a weapon, you had better hope that there is at least one other weapon in this situation. Well trained police that frequently go to the shooting range and are highly trained and experienced can be highly effective at minimizing harm in areas where criminals are well armed. There is ample data from real life. It is sad that we have to apply policing methodologies that are effective in places like South Africa or Brazil, but this is the country we live in now.
