Just curious, how do mail carriers survive on a daily basis without opening up on family pets in neighborhoods full of old women and kids?

Don't mail carriers simply carry mace and pepper spray for nuisance dogs and for the safety of the neighborhood?

Maybe the mail carrier was introduced to the dog under different circumstances

Mail carriers change routes all the time, new carriers start on the job daily, people obtain new dogs etc, etc...

With billions spent on law enforcement, why are they not equipped with pepper spray and or mace, like mail carriers routinely use in situations like this?

A K9 cop outside of night club and I got into a wonderful discussion about his dog [and dogs, in general] and he had a whole belt literally full of junk hanging around his waist.

He identified all of it for me [because I’d jokingly asked if he had any Bat-Hooks on there] and yes, he had mace.

All the local cops have mace...and tazers and a gun and cuffs and zip-ties and rubber gloves and about 10 other assorted devices hanging off them.

He commented on how heavy the belt was, with all that ‘just in case gear’.

Even the local prison guards have mace/pepper spray.

Unless this cop worked in some Bizarro World PD, he had mace or pepper spray, too.

Because police departments would rather waste those billions on unnecessary SWAT teams and on arming said teams with enough military firepower to storm the beaches at Normandy.
