Not all cops should carry guns.

Cops do not need the ability to kill another person with ease to do their job effectively.

Only specialized units like SWAT teams should carry lethal firearms.

Give cops a variety of non lethal options and training for dealing with potentially dangerous situations. They are not executioners.

Ok this is actually stupid. Like i get the sentiment. But the reason cops have guns is for the situations where they are up against armed criminals. Its for their safety too. We need to work on getting better cops, not making it easier for the good cops out there (and yes they exist) to get killed.

Very very few situations call for a cop to have a lethal weapon. A properly trained cop with a non lethal tool (like a baton or taser) and good training can handle almost all situations.

Cops dont need the ability to kill people.

You people are WAY too adamant about protecting the lives of criminals at the expense of good people (first citizens and now cops). It’s a little disturbing.

I believe that all citizens are entitled to due process and fair treatment. Cops are not executioners and should not kill people, even if the cops think that person has broken a law.

The fact that American culture has made it ok to dehumanize “criminals” to the point where so many are ok with citizens being gunned down in the street by agents of the government without trial is damn near dystopian. 

Lots of people in the comments trying to justify citizens bring gunned down in the streets by agents of the government. Yikes.
