Odd thing to get worked up about. Not sure why you link brining guns into a potential heated situation is gonna make it any better. Most police offers don’t even want to carry a gun, I certainly don’t want police officers carrying a gun.
That got nothing to do with exceptionalism, I just think a police officers primary responsibility is to their community. We should rate them based on their ability to prevent crime through community relationships and diplomacy, not on their ability to rapidly deliver lethal amounts of lead into a situation.
We should stand up for our principles, and try and build a society to thats a fair and equal as possible, regardless of an individual quirks and differences. We shouldn’t be aiming to create a uniform society just because it economically more efficient, and removes the need for the majority to think about the needs of the minority.
