If cops can’t be trusted to not “accidentally” grab a gun instead of a taser or “accidentally” think a Black child is holding a gun when they are holding any number of completely innocent things, MAYBE COPS SHOULDNT HAVE GUNS!

But then we get to America’s gun problem.... then cops want guns bc the “bad guys” have guns. Because no one actually wants to even try to take them, because criminals exist... but no one wants to try to use social programs to try to address the root cause of criminality either.

Like this country loves to whine about its problems and then do approximately less than nothing to actually address them.

Like we are literally the richest country, not only in the world, but in the HISTORY of the world. There is zero reason we need cops, guns, or poverty to exist. If we had leaders with any backbone, better campaign finance programs, any social welfare program... but no.
