I personally feel much less safe around police and I know many who feel the same or experienced unjust harassment and violence from them, especially nypd and including inside their stations. I know people who were tortured by county jail guards, ostensibly there for protection, while holding them awaiting trial (including later being proven innocent). I don’t agree that when encountering police that everyone should surrender or otherwise dispose of their firearms. I think that would make police even more aggressive at scale. Police are adversarial, not protective for common folk. I would advocate for the opposite - police should not be allowed to carry, and I think they are weirdos for doing so
