but what's to stop the criminals, who will always have access to weapons, from just shooting cops?
Disarmed cops may work in the U.K., but in America, it would be a cruel joke and it will never happen and I would vigorously oppose it.

Now I do oppose the militarization of our police forces, I say get rid of the military style uniforms, get rid of the assault vehicles, better firearms training for the police so they don't wildly spray bullets and wound innocents, better training on the use of pepper spray or stun guns, get cops back to walking beats and get to know the people in their district.

That's just a few suggestions which might start to restore the trust between the police and citizens, but disarm the cops, that's not even negotiable for me and I think most citizens would agree with me.
