Regardless of the racially charged headline... the only reason to arm police with sidearms is to make it easier for them to kill people extra-judicially. That's the only function a side arm has.

Police already have easy access to firearms in their vehicles.

Apparently 68% of police see Judge Dredd as an idol.

So, because the police want to go from having firearms in the car and easily accessible, to carried on their person, that means they want to be able to execute people in your mind?

Okey dokey. I knew Lemmy had some cooked takes as far as policing is concerned, but I thought this instance was a bit more reasonable.
