Disarmament I Can Support

"The Case For Disarming the Police."

I generally do not advocate we follow "what Europe is doing," as that's how we've gotten ourselves in trouble so much in the past. But this idea should catch on.


Favorite quote from the article:
"Policing is not defensive in nature, it is offensive. The Constitution never had a word to say about someone – let alone an agent of the State – having the right to be armed in the course of policing citizens “proactively” or offensively. The idea simply had no precedent for the Founding Fathers to conceive of such a model. All indications are that if they knew of such a concept, they would have opposed it for application on American streets."
