Why stop there? Why not create a hotline where anyone can call an armed security force to help with issues of danger?

Good… good… we should also teach them to view all non-operators as potential threats this way they’re always prepared to attack the enemy. This sort of education will naturally not shift their perception nor cause them to accidentally shoot civilians especially minorities.

They should also take threats serious. If they were to know a criminal was in a building with a deadly weapon it would be best to wait outside to gain the advantage over the criminal. Can’t go inside because the locals might also be potential threats. You never know when an elementary could have a black boy with a rubber band gun!

I have an idea! Let’s make them completely immune to prosecution for acts they commit! That way they uh. Well they could… It’s be a good idea!

Let’s also make sure they don’t hire people who are too smart. It would be a real issue if the people handling this sensitive information had any contextual knowledge.

No, his sub-sonic rounds blowback was not enough to initiate proper weapon cycle.
