The reason why police officers have guns is that they are supposed to have gone through training so that they know how to envoke protocal in highly charged situations and to only use these guns as a last resort.... But there are too many stories of inoccent poor black people being shot and/or killed in circumstances where quite likely no shots should have been fired at all. How does an unarmed man get shot in the back of the head and killed in the front of a club....... Or an elderly woman, scared to death, brutally shot when her house is bumrushed in the middle of the night by police serving a "no-knock" warrant because of "confirmed" drug activity. Or a man, at his bachelor party, shot at 50 times by cops with no evidence of shot being fired at the police.

This is not a Scarface movie! This is real life. I understand that being a police officer can be extremely stressful but the reason why they are allowed to patrol the streets with guns is that we assume that they will conduct themselves with higher standards than gansters!
