I think it would be stupid to defund the police. If we have too many dumb police, then made a test that proves you can bear the badge and hold the gun with the upmost respect. If I were to try and commit heinous acts, how could a cop stop me from shooting people. What are they going to do? Bring a sword and shield?! It is ignorant and stupid to think people want the police gone.

I absolutely agree with this comment. All police officers should have access to a patrol rifle and of course their service pistol. In a country where people have relatively easy access to rifles, I believe that an officer should have the upper hand in any firefight. As the old saying goes; "If you come to a fight equally matched, you are underprepared."

The police should not be defunded. They are the core protecting factor of our nation and are a necessary part of keeping sanity in America.

I agree with this as an armed society is a polite society, which means that a criminal would be less likely to attempt violence if they know that every cop on the scene would have their firearms trained on them within the second.
