Weaponless Police

TAKING WEAPONS AWAY FROM POLICE MAKES SENSE...  Let's look at other countries like Great Britain to see what they do...

The United Kingdom is made up of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales (which make up Great Britain), and Northern Ireland. In Northern Ireland, all police officers carry firearms. In the rest of the United Kingdom, only some police officers carry firearms; that duty is instead carried out by specially-trained firearms officers. This originates from the formation of the Metropolitan Police Service in the 19th century, when police were not armed, partly to counter public fears and objections over armed enforcers as this had been previously seen due to the British Army maintaining order when needed. The arming of police in Great Britain is a perennial topic of debate.  SOURCE: Wikipedia

Violent crime recorded by police in England and Wales has risen by 19% in a year, latest Home Office figures show. The number of homicides - including murder and manslaughter - rose from 649 to 739, an increase of 14%, in the 12 months to the end of September 2018.  SOURCE:  Jan 24, 2019, BBC.com

In light of the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement and the DEFUND THE POLICE movement, I would like to suggest that we take weapons away from the police like Great Britain...  and, only allow certain police units like SWAT to carry and use weapons...
