In a lot of countries the regular policeman you meet on the street have no firearms on them and yet have lower crime rates than the US.
“Policing” effectively does not require violence. Why do American cops always throw people on the ground and/or force their arms when cuffing them? If they’re unarmed and cooperative that’s entirely unnecessary, yet it seems standard practice there.
Also, the continued use of “law enforcement” over “police” and “cops” is one of the greatest acts of newspeak. You aren’t against enforcing the law are you? That would make you an anarchist and a terrorist
I’m not an expert copolist, and I’m almost sure this is not the only reason, but it seems somewhat easier to keep crime at bay when not every four year old can just carry an AR15 with a rocket launcher and plasma gun attachment.
