Does it actually work? Because I fear that it doesn't and just gives cops/the state even more excuses to further militarize police in the long teem.
I'm not antigun, but this seems like an arms race you can't win.
It does. Armed peaceful protesters don't get hassled by the police. These are armed peaceful protesters and they were not hassled. It worked for the black panthers. Cops only brutalize the weak.
I'm pretty sure there are some statistics on the mental profiles of cops the people who end up becoming them being people who enjoy power.
And this is a failure of the system. The failure to identify and reject these sick fucks.
Failure of the system, or working exactly how it was intended?
