Yes, it deters the cops. You have to understand that many or most cops are paranoid, cowards, and bullies. They aren't going around enforcing laws because they think that they need to uphold justice. Rather, they're going around power tripping. And it's not such a great power trip if you have to worry about getting shot because people think that you're dirty.
Of course this is not true for all cops all the time, but it's certainly true for many cops most of the time.
*American cops.
Everything you just said would not be true of, for example, Danish cops. Or French cops, for that matter.
My point exactly. If you're going to do something with weapons on display in France because of the police, the police are only going to take that as a provocation. There'd be a fire fight.
If there was one or two, sure, but 200+?
Have you ever seen what a protest looks like in Paris?
The French cops are notoriously dirty, my friend. They have their own similar issues. We saw this during the protests a while back, and that’s even international news…
Judging by another reply, ey meant that French cops will engage in a fight rather than chicken out. That doesn't make them the good guys, of course
less true, yes. not true? idk
The police are an arm of the state formed specifically for the purpose of maintaining a societies class structure because the laws they enforce are dictated by that societies ruling class. French and Danish cops absolutely will do whatever the state tells them because its their job, they are law enforcers not law interpreters. One day shit will go down hill for the French and Danish ruling class and when that happens they will use their law enforcers to maintain their standard of living which is to say their positions of power and wealth. This is very normal and becomes quite clear when you learn the history of labor and civil rights movements all over the world.
France maybe, but you clearly don't know the first thing about Denmark.
