“As a police officer, we also have the right to protect ourselves from the public.”
How is a man carrying openly, not hiding his weapon, any threat to you or anyone else?

Just the fact that a civilian is armed is enough for some LEO's to get that rush of testosterone and adrenaline. They feel the need to control those they forget they're employed to serve. Those sort are the type who will enter the wrong house on a whim or a warrant and shoot the occupants and try to squirm out of the consequences.
Any LEO who is so flippant and greasy to claim they're in need of protection from the people is one cop who needs to be fired and sent to scraping the walls of the city sewers.
I sincerely pity the victims of their "protection".
