The average airline pilot is smarter and more capable than the average cop...if they can weapons, no reason we can't.
With all the civil liability exposure; I think you'd be surprised at the level of sophistication of most front line cops nowadays. In my home state almost all have BS degrees and a very high percentage have masters. It gives them up to a 20% higher pay to have the higher education. As a result, over the past generation they have become some of the best educated workforce. The average airline pilot is smarter and more capable than the average cop...if they can weapons, no reason we can't.
Old stereotypes due hard.
