Basically cops want you to be disarmed, you're easier to harm.

Plenty of people who will get paid to hurt unarmed people, but not a lot willing to die for that same paycheck.

Not the best example. Right-wing gun nuts are cop-adjacent if not cops themselves. Let's see how an amed BLM or antifa or anti-ICE rally goes.

The cops do not want an armed populous, and those 20k people who were armed during that protest where not cops.
