Hmmm. Yup. Sounds like we need to institute some gun control over the cops like in the UK to prevent innocent people from being shot. Because, according to tmac 93 million Americans are killed every year by guns. How did Australia do it? Well, they don't have a 2nd amendment so it's fairly easy to take things away that aren't protected. Comparing LEO weapons access to civilian weapons access is absurd in the extreme.

Why are all these people upset?! It was a White woman from a Christian nation shot by a non-White, Muslim immigrant. Time to move on. Nothing to see here.

But the incident portrays a possible consequence of a society in which cops are the only people who have guns. Once the citizenry is disarmed, the ones with the guns become more powerful, and therefore more arrogant and likely to eschew discipline and adherence to civil rights.

I agree. Somali cops should not be armed.

There is no mention of the circumstances surrounding the shooting. There is also statistical evidence showing the homicides are lower in areas where gun ownership is high.
To: grumpygresh
Better yet, don’t let ANY mohammadan immigrants of any sort become cops.
To: rktman
Hey, the rest of the world and its governments hate the US because we are armed to the teeth, and our govt knows that there is no way to disarm us ( but they would, either or both parties in my estimation).
If the world thinks citizenry being armed is a bad thing, there are worse- an unarmed citizenry. Look at every totalitarian govt and their atrocities- all first disarmed the population, radicalized the youth, tore down the church and terrorized the adult populations, resulting in the 20th century being the bloodiest ever per capita by far.
Anyone who thinks private arms are bad has never been victimized by either a govt or the criminal elements, but I repeat myself.

When the Muslim hordes invade Australia, they will be met with little or no armed resistance.

And from many of those countries their citizens will do anything to come here.
It’s a puzzlement!!

That article is just a liberal gun control screed, citing manipulated stats and biased research.
