In reply to the discussion: FedEx shooter: A family member had reached out to authorities warning about the suspect's potential [View all]Roc2020
(1,762 posts)27. Could it seriously be that modern policing is as outdated as landlines?
If they can't prevent mass murderers even after being warned, but can mace soldiers, shoot people over air fresheners, strangle a man with their knee and shooting 13yr olds.. I mean I'm not for defunding and abolish the police but it does make me wonder if armed uniformed cops driving patrol cars are relevant or necessary.

Exactly. The law says a bad guy with a gun is presumed a good guy right up until he opens fire.

It would have been an intolerable infringement of his freedumb if anyone had acted on that.
