sadly but not unexpectedly, a great many cops nationwide either believe in strict gun control, or insist that guns be kept out of the hands of "unqualified civilians" but be unrestricted for "lawer infursement profeshunalz"
most cops arent total assholes with terminal penis envy and a napoleon complex, but enough of them are to really fuck up their numbers.
only the worst cops hold the opinion that cops are special magical beings endowed by their uniforms with powers beyond mortal ken. for an example check out tom sullivan, nationally syndicated radio host, former cop, and all around dick.
or even worse, former sacramento sheriff, now radio buffoon john mcguinnes.
both these clows present themselves as experts on firearms, firearms law, the constitution (which both swore to uphold but neither has apparently ever read) and make the case for banning magazines over ten rounds so "cops arent outgunned"
DUHHHHHHH cops are immune to the magazine size restrictions. cops in sacramento have M16's in the trunk of their car, and thats FULLY AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLES, not some shit any asshole over 18 can buy in a sporting goods store.
so yeah, most cops arent dumb ignorant assholes, but the ones who get a microphone invariably are.
except the LAPD, those fucks are about 80% assholes. the LAPD is where the jetsam from every police academy in amerca washes ashore
