| I think the philosophy of the police being reactive when it comes to defending themselves will work very well in the vast majority of places where most of us live. I also think we need to realize that there are other places where the police need to be much more proactive in protecting themselves and we need to allow and accept that.
The police are walking around with big targets on their backs. Even on here, where I assume the posters are not involved in big criminal rings, there is evidence of a lot of hatred towards the police. Imagine that attitude but on a much larger scale by some of the criminals that they commonly encounter in some areas. If the criminal element knows that we have effectively demanded that the police give them a several second head start in a gun fight we will lose a lot of good, innocent cops from both gun fire and from them simply deciding defending us is not worth their life.
