I mean, the premise is that these shootings are used to convince people that gun control is needed, right? But this event shows the exact opposite as it is clear that the police will just stand down and even restrain you from protecting your family. If that’s not an argument for the right to bear arms, I don’t know what is. I simply cannot fathom how the police behaved the way they did. And I am very pro law enforcement as I am married to one.

what if the idea was turning pro-police people against police?
Then it’s time they wake up to the difference between a sheriff, who is an elected official held accountable by the people compared to city police commissioners who are political appointed cronies. It’s time to end all political cronyism. Every good officer and first responder should be outraged at the way this was handled.
^THIS^ A sheriff, properly, is elected by awake and intelligent people. Both the sheriff and the people understand that HE answers to the people, obeys the Constitution and interposes himself between the people and a rogue government, rogue bankers, etc. Cops are not Constitutional public servants. They answer to a slimy mayor.
I would go so far as to say that he would be the one to rally the minute men and or be in charge of the local well regulated militia.
I believe that the governor could call them up but, since people have no idea about any of these things, it won't happen even in a "red" state. The sheriff has his own deputies and can call on local men if posses are needed.
It sure could have that result
