I see the state of Minnesota and the words “special weapons” on that guy’s patch, so yeah these are the guys that would actually have the real gear to respond to stuff like this. Your everyday beat cop isn’t trained for it and shouldn’t carry more than pepper spray.
With that out of the way, I’m ok having a specially trained and competent department or whatever to handle high pressure dangerous situations that they are equipped for literally and mentally (deescalation, negotiating, etc). Really, I think that could probably be a job for the national guard. It’s unfortunate that the world has bad enough people that sometimes armed personnel are required, but it should be under trained, power hungry gangsters cops.
Are those guys part of the military?
Or cops with toys?
