The Police
There is
roughly
one
policeman
for
every
1,900
civilians
At least
40% of
active
police
officers
are
assigned
to
administrative
duty
Only
about
30% of
the
remaining
total is
active
on shift
at any
one time
Of the
remaining
total,
about
25% is
assigned
to
investigative
work or
special
tasks
Remember
that the
police are
not there to
protect
you. They
are only
there to
respond to
calls for
assistance,
and even
then, they
admit that
it is not
their duty
to protect
you. They
are there to
assist
after
the crime
has been
committed.
How do the
police know
who the
criminals
are? They
have to
commit a
crime
first. They
investigate
the crime,
catch the
perpetrator
(if they are
lucky) and
bring him or
her to
court. All
after
the crime
has already
been
committed.
Time to
think on
your feet.
Think of a
time where
the police
have
prevented a
crime.
Catching CIT
robbers
before they
strike?
Nope, they
have already
committed a
crime by
planning the
attack, and
by acquiring
the weapons
illegally.
Persons were
caught that
were
committing a
crime.
a:
Possession
of
unlicensed
firearms, b:
conspiracy
to commit a
crime, and
c: attempted
CIT robbery.
So you think
the police
are more
responsible,
and should
be the only
people
trusted with
firearms?
Think
again. Here
are the
facts, again
by Dr. Gary
Kleck.
· Police
incidences
of
accidental
shootings
are 1,200%
higher than
that of
private gun
owners.
That is if
you only
include the
part of the
population
that legally
possess
firearms.
Include the
entire
population,
the number
rises to a
staggering
4,000%
·
Only 2%
of
civilian
shootings
involve
an
innocent
person
being
shot
·
11% of
police
shootings
involve
an
innocent
civilian
being
shot
·
The
police
are 50
times
more
likely
to shoot
an
innocent
civilian
that a
licensed
firearm
owner.
·
Per
capita,
the
police
are 110
times
more
likely
to shoot
an
innocent
civilian
that a
licensed
firearm
owner.
·
In 1993,
the
police
shot and
killed
600
criminals.
They
also
shot 330
innocent
civilians.
That
means
for
every
two
criminals
killed,
an
innocent
person
dies by
their
hand
