minus-squarehedidwot@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·20 days agoGood police need good tools to respond to anything that could happen. Imagine a 9/11 variation with an armed group instead of planes. That’s going to need a rapid and powerful police response. Armed forces are not an option with such short notice.
