That's probably true as well.

And civilians have guns to defend against criminals. Law enforcement has guns to attack criminals.

Law enforcement is supposed to apprehend criminals, not attack them.

I tend to think the 'apprehend' has been replaced with 'kill' if a shot is fired.

Not that I disagree with that.
Shoot at me? I'll fire back intending to kill you. As should the Cops.

What gets me is that all research and equipment is intended to kill not wound.

Remember the rubber bullets and such talked about back in the '70's?
Those are only for rioting type situations and never went much past that type useage.

And those so called "Cop killer' bullets?
Invented by the Cops themselves to reduce slowing and deflection of the rounds.
You can't have them. They can.

Get caught with a bullet resistant vest? Yep. You have a problem.
Got any ParaMilitary gear laying around? You have a problem.
