  Because the first goal post was meaningless. If that's the level we're looking at then we can't even give cops sticks because at least one of them is going to beat an innocent person with it.

      Not really. They said abuse. I took that to mean abuse by the police as a group. Not abuse by any individual cop.

If an individual can abuse the system in a way that undermines the intent of the system, we need to think carefully about what it is that we're actually building. > we can't even give cops sticks because at least one of them is going to beat an innocent person with it. Considering the debate around police violence in America right now, I think it's amusing that we're using this as an example of a ridiculous proposition. Maybe not sticks, no, but the level to which our police are armed is definitely under scrutiny.
