I like how here it say disarm instead of defund or disband. But then disarming the police in US mean police is basically a sitting duck when shit happened because there's like bazillion of people owning gun. I wonder how's that gonna work.

like it works in nations where the cops don't go around with tools to murder people.

Those nations have heavy regulated gun laws though.

and do they have mass shootings on the daily?

That's not the point. The point is that you can't have a police force that's weaker than the criminals.

yes you can. have a special unit for those cases. the goons on the streets don't need firearms.

Cops don't need the option to murder me when giving me a speeding ticket.

Police in my country wear guns.

They never use them because criminals don't shoot at cops.

You maybe get 1 crazy person per year that deserves to have a weapon drawn at them.

Your argument implies the inhumane and corrupt American police forces, which are an exception.
