My mossberg pump and glock 19. Only time I'm calling the cops for a home intrusion is to clean up the mess and take my statement. With being trained in how to use firearms and carrying a CCW permit I'd rather take my chances defending myself than waiting for the cops to show up. The only other time I'm calling the cops is for a property crime that I need a report for in order to file a claim.
I've been witness to many instances over the years (street fights, club fights, house party fights, domestic violence) where more often than not there's at least one a-hole officer that f*cks it up for everyone else. The situation would've been completely controllable but either they aren't trained well or they're just being a-holes. I've encountered some very good cops that know how to control the situation without abuse of power, they understand the concept of give and get. But it's usually the newer cops that think their god's gift to crime fighting. There's not enough good cops out there. It just pisses me off when you got guys who were bullied in grade school and high school, and now that they got badges they think they're tuff.
This isn't meant to bash cops cause I depend on them to protect my loved ones who cannot protect themselves. And I respect their proffession for that matter the same way I respect EMTs and the Fire Dept.
A cop said to me one time 'you couldn't do my job'. I said why would I want your job when I get paid twice as much to do my job.
