And when I asked you to clarify, you said that “almost all of them” should be, including those who make traffic stops. You claim to keep up with police shootings, and if you have any knowledge at all about how police departments in the United States operate, you’ll know that the same police officers who respond to calls for service are out making traffic stops and contacts with the public in between those calls for service.

By suggesting that we disarm “almost all” officers, including those who make traffic stops, you’re advocating for disarming the police.

If you’d like to revise your argument or you don’t understand basic police operations, leading you to make a mistake about which police you would like to see disarmed, feel free to revise your post(s).
