#1 Didn't an "auxiliary deputy," basically some old guy who bought his way into the department somewhere, pull his service pistol instead of his taser and kill a guy a while back? Yeah, that happened...

#2 Oh but these people will be unarmed....naturally, so when some wacko kills half of a team, they can call for more gun control.

#5 This will work until someone gets hurt or killed, then the civilians who don't have protection from frivolous lawsuits or police unions will get their asses sued off.

#7 NFPA is being updated to mandate ballistic defense.
I expect this move is to shift the budget line from armed police to available SWAT.
