This particular cop was not out of control.
Can you wait for an officer to be out of control before you insist he leave or disarm?
If you are going to disarm the police it should be while they are in their law abiding mode and with proper authority.
The Police have always been major contributors to the death by firearm statistics.
It would seem the easiest and fastest means to reduce the death by firearm stat would be to disarm the police.
If this does not seem logical to you , this might because you have seldom seem the reduction to absurdity.
Perfect consistency, with no exceptions made , often spirals into absurdity.
But from the point of view of my faction, absurdity starts sooner on this track than you might recognize it.
Where such records are kept , the holders of Concealed Carry Permits generally have fewer complaints of abuse against them and fewer crimes overall than the police in the same region.
So by our logic it is counterproductive to disarm the well behaved.
The opposition presents a harder to comprehend idea that every gun fewer , no matter who it is taken from , reduces the potential for mayhem. This is even carried into the far future when all of the presently responsibly owned and used guns will have been left in wills and estate sales, presumably to less responsible generations.
But the staff of that Olive Garden was behaving as if the gun itself was a problem, and that it was carried by a policeman made no difference. Perfect consistency makes no exceptions and opens the window of absurdity.
