@newt@stereophonic.space @kim@linfan.moe @thatbrickster@shitposter.world @meso@new.asbestos.cafe you can't protect anyone from people with guns without being armed yourself.But that's completely wrong. There many non-lethal options you can use against someone who has a gun. Like electroshock weapons, tear gas.
You can't fight fire without fireAlso I never see countries do this but I honestly think police should be using tranquilizers or sedatives maybe?

@newt@stereophonic.space @kim@linfan.moe @thatbrickster@shitposter.world @meso@new.asbestos.cafe Also in my opinion police shouldn't be going after actual heavily armed terrorists and people like that in the first place. That's should be a job for the military.
Police should be keeping public order and handing out traffic tickets and shit like that. They don't need a fucking gun lmao -

police were invented
It doesn't seem like they have put any effort at all into it though:
— Let's give a bunch of sick fucks guns
— OMG, you're a genius! 😮 -

@m0xEE @SuperDicq @kim @meso @newt @thatbrickster some specifics in that they didn't have a whole lot of punishment or enforcement options. this was back when an englishman was still a scary motherfucker too :blobfoxpirate:
they were throwing bobbies off the harbor as fascists and everything -

@SuperDicq @newt @kim @thatbrickster @meso >Like electroshock weapons, tear gas
Unfortunately, a firearm is faster than either of those.
>should be using tranquilizers or sedatives maybe?
Tranquilizers and sedatives take 15 minutes to work, are quite risky and can have no effect depending what drug the target is on.
There are more powerful drugs that will work as a tranquilizer or sedative in seconds (assuming no counteracting drugs), but the target will die unless an antidote is immediately competently delivered afterwards.
When it comes to grannies with knifes as the like, there is no need for a firearm or electroshock weapons, you just grab the knife off granny (utilizing a stab vest or net if you're hopeless). -

@SuperDicq @newt @kim @thatbrickster @meso It's the militaries' job to be the heavily armed terrorists.
