How often do you need your seatbelt? Should you still wear it anyway? And there are situations when wearing a seatbelt can kill you where you would survive without it.

The idea is the same with cops. A properly trained cop carying a weapon all the time would be safer overall by being able to react to violent situations while not posing a threat in non-violent ones. The issue is how incredibly undertrained most US cops are.

And yes, if they are not sufficiently trained, they should not carry a gun period. Not in their car, not anywhere.

How does that work? I thought being a cop was not so dangerous that they needed a gun at all times...

Seems to me like it would make more sense to want the cases to go simultaneously since the civil case can use any evidence and admissions from the criminal case.

If they are tried at the same time, there is a chence that would not work because of deadlines to submit evidence.

I have no idea what that argument is supposed to be.

UK has almost no privately owned guns. US has more guns than people and its gun laws are nuts.

Obviously. I am pro gun relatively to where I live but the US gun laws are crazy. You should do something about that.

Suprise, not all nations are the same. But hey, if the cops agree or you can find replacement cops for those that don't, then go for it.

It is just funy to me that people have so many ideas how cops could do their jobs better, and hate on them but refuse to actually become cops and put it in practice.

Sounds good then

Well, I am not from the US, so maybe my perception is wrong. Or maybe you have a selection bias for some reason, e.g. living in a safe are.

Either way, if enough cops are ok with it then go ahead, and have them not carry firearms. No issue then.

Most countries don't have more guns than people in them.

I would love to see all the people asking to disarm police officers apply for the job once we do. But its so easy to make these claims from the safety of your house. Who cares about actual realistic solutions?

I feel like "so easy to implement" still understates it. It is literally the default option: don't crate and enfore a dumb rule. They have to go out of their way to make their product shittier.

Also, you should not buy an apple product, if for no other reason, than because they can just change their mind at any time. As long as the appstore is the only way to install apps, you have no control over your own device.

How about you take your strawman argument somewhere else? I never said you need just one. But the company clearly did not need as many, if they were able to let them go. Economy of scale I guess.

In this case, it kills unproductive jobs. Payroll people are necessary but at the end of the day, they don't produce anything you would want to buy. This means that if you keep more administrative jobds than you need, there will be fewer actuall things to go around. Hence everyone will be poorer on average (or realistically speaking, the rich will be poorer in the current system, but that is a different issue).

Anyway, keeping unproductive jobds to reduce unenployment is a dumb idea and is one of the main reason why communism sucked so much.

If you think about it, making the fascist salute illegal is inherently more fascist than the salute itself. The salute is a symbol of one particular regime, regulating political speech on the other hand...

Yep, sounds like US politics in a nutshell

Also, nitrogen is not poisonous. You asphixiate in about the same amount of time regardles of whether you breath, so participation 100% not required. It is just more comfortable to participate.

People recently invented a fancy thing called compromise. It means you can choose your second best preference if your first is not available.

E.g. I would preffer steak for lunch but I will take pizza over being hungry.

No, I know US used to have the best public transit in the world at one point. I meant they designed the rebuilt cities.

As a young adult in Europe (the place where walking and biking safely is possible), my rules were:

1. Rent apartment close to work
2. Don't need car and I still commute to work faster then my collegues

I am entirely convinced US cities are designed by the car lobby.

Yep, which is why you can't annul 2A by saying there is some small reason to not have them everywhere.

If you want to repeal the 2A, pass a new ammendment. Of course you can't because most people are not irrationally scared of guns.
