They have some good stories mind you, 'specially the one that was TnT in NYC years back and they're good people... but I don't really see the need for them to be armed for 90% of their work. I'd bet $5 dollars right now that more cops are shot by police issued guns then privately owned.

I think there is a solid misconception amongst many people that laws and police keep us safe. The reason why were safe is due to the simple fact that 99% of the population aren't killers/rapist or violent people with no regard for human life.
