police
The police are a constituted body of persons empowered by a state, with the aim to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder. Their lawful powers include arrest and the use of force legitimized by the state via the monopoly on violence. The term is most commonly associated with the police forces of a sovereign state that are authorized to exercise the police power of that state within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are often defined as being separate from the military and other organizations involved in the defense of the state against foreign aggressors; however, gendarmerie are military units charged with civil policing. Police forces are usually public sector services, funded through taxes.
Law enforcement is only part of policing activity. Policing has included an array of activities in different situations, but the predominant ones are concerned with the preservation of order. In some societies, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, these developed within the context of maintaining the class system and the protection of private property. Police forces have become ubiquitous in modern societies. Nevertheless, their role can be controversial, as they may be involved to varying degrees in corruption, brutality and the enforcement of authoritarian rule.
A police force may also be referred to as a police department, police service, constabulary, gendarmerie, crime prevention, protective services, law enforcement agency, civil guard, or civic guard. Members may be referred to as police officers, troopers, sheriffs, constables, rangers, peace officers or civic/civil guards. Ireland differs from other English-speaking countries by using the Irish language terms Garda (singular) and Gardaí (plural), for both the national police force and its members. The word police is the most universal and similar terms can be seen in many non-English speaking countries.Numerous slang terms exist for the police. Many slang terms for police officers are decades or centuries old with lost etymologies. One of the oldest, cop, has largely lost its slang connotations and become a common colloquial term used both by the public and police officers to refer to their profession.

This is a very nice Ruger Police Service Six .357 Revolver. Buyer pays $35 USPS Shipping or $10 OSP Background Fee for local pick up. The owner is not interested in trades.
We think we are doing the right thing for safety but the safety of who. By giving up any right even for a moment makes the people in power feel they own you and can take your rights away any time they want too.
What do you folks say is it right or wrong?
okay so the police departments in Missouri be weird.

Shock! Seeing Illinois doing this, I'm sure other states will be taking notice and wondering how they can do the same in their own states.

Well this is one of the most insane things I've seen in a while. It is absolutely astounding that no innocents were hit in this thing. It's also shocking that I didn't see a single patrol rifle in the whole mess. I don't know if that's an officer thing or the department doesn't let them carry...
