[QUOTE]Originally posted by Martinna: [QB] [b]graylx[/b] ----- I am glad that you were willing to share your perspective as a member of the police force and to remind our members that the police do a difficult and dangerous job. All too often, our police are not given the thanks and recognition they deserve. This has been especially true in recent times. As you said, the job of the police is to enforce the law. And the purpose of the law is to protect innocent Americans from those who wish to do them harm. All of us in this forum respect our men in blue, and don't want any harm to come to them in the discharge of their duties. We are also all Americans, and we extend that same good will to all of our fellow citizens. Because we wish to protect the lives of Americans against those who wish to cause harm, we must provide our police with the best tools so that they have the capacity to save as many American lives as possible. We should ask ourselves: what tools will allow our police to neutralize the threat posed by dangerous criminals while minimizing the chances of harm to innocent Americans? What types of weapons have, for example, the precision to stop a criminal in a crowded place without threatening the lives or safety of innocent bystanders? What procedures or policies should we implement as a community in order to save the greatest number of American lives? Are [URL=http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-police-gear-exclusive-idUSKCN1012KW]grenade launchers[/URL] and [URL=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cpn2ZnTVIAALin8.jpg]vehicle-mounted automatic weapons[/URL] the answer to these questions? Are these weapons even necessary? These are some of the world's most dangerous and deadly war machines, and we shouldn't forget how these same weapons contributed to unintended [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omnskeu-puE]deaths of innocents in Iraq[/URL], where nearly a million civilians have died. Now imagine these same armored vehicles rolling down [URL=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cp62TSeWAAAVARk.jpg]American streets[/URL]. I am interested to hear your thoughts on how these weapons of war will be effective at saving American lives and minimizing harm once they are put to use on American soil. [/QB][/QUOTE]
