How would this end up being different from today? Would it mean removing guns from the police? Would American police even allow that given that we have such a highly armed society? While I agree with the point, I don't know how you define what you mean, and then how we get there. I can definitely see getting rid of lethal weapons as a good step, but they'd need some support like SWAT for situations like what happened…
