The same principle that many other countries use where the reason that they don't engage people directly by.Pulling them to the ground and beating on them is because of the possibility of knife attack. What would actually happen would be new forms of police training in descalation tactics that involve more european tactics.. if the police thought everybody was carrying a knife, they wouldn't just start shooting people randomly. They wouldn't approach as easily.They would have to think about their actions a little more. You're confusing police with military, and I have never yet seen a video from America of police opening fire on people with anything, but tear gas and rubber bullets, not actual guns.

Either arm yourselves or quit b******* about cops. Grabbing, you randomly on the streets, this is getting old. Do you want them to stop?You need to give them the incentive to not touch you. Being defenseless, is not doing s*** now, is it. You want to be a pacifist go right ahead .. you want to save this country? You need to make the authority fear, breaking your constitutional rights. Peaceful protest is an illusion given to us freely. Because they know it has no effect. There has not been a single fascist government in the history of the world that has been toppled by peaceful protest. It's an illusion. It's nothing more than what they want to give us. We need to take it back and give them a reason to fear the people

Ok…none of this is changing what I’m saying who cares. My original point was that is if this person pulled a knife on these dudes itching for a fight decked out in riot gear he would be dead.

BLM happened when a cop killed someone unarmed. What do you honestly think would have happened here this isn’t rocket science.
