I think the point is you don't have a policeman in your pocket. You don't know where they are, and if you can call them, how long it will take them to get there. A gun or other means of protecting yourself (and others) can be in your pocket.The theoretical idea that the police officer would not have been harmed, if he had a gun is a rather theoretical one.
See examples above.
If you don't practice self defense and such things regularly, you don't actually know how you're going to react in a "fog of war" situation. The usual reaction time for the "fight or flight" decision is already too long.
I f.ex. hate security who think they can make me comply by intimidating me, because they think they're in a better position or have concealed weapons. Looking like a fuzzy harmless slob is part of my charm (and speaking a few accent free sentences of "eastern" .. from russian to bulgarian .. while looking totally german).
The more professional guys always like to deescalate.

The thing is there are not there to intimidate you, but to do their job, what (sometimes) means to be scary. That's a good way to make people think twice to do something wrong. But otherwise? You have a point.

That's right.
Edit; And talking about scare tactics? A lot of people afraid to look into my eyes. Interesting thing, considering in life im a nice warm friendly guy, and even more interesting if you take account asperger syndrome. And the fact, this kind of problem usually comes with the disability to establish physical emotional, and eye contact.

It's the little folds around your eyes that signal warmth.
People are creatures of habit.
You can fake it. Practice in front of a mirror.
It's not the violin that makes the music.
If you're willing to practice 2-3 times a weak, you can become proficient at defending yourself. Regardless of the tool at your disposal (funny enough, the real benefit of practicing is that you become better at avoiding conflict, deescalating hairy situations and not looking like an easy target - which helps as much against someone trying to hit you with a car as a gun).
If you don't put in that time or think that 2 hour crash course will help you ... nah.
And if you don't practice dealing with the impact of shock, being at the recieving end of agression - it's very very likely, you'll just blank out and stand there.
Adrenaline is a terrible stuff.

Tell it to the people attacked by gangs of machete-wielding thugs.
Maybe you're lucky and you can run the fastest, and they don't have a car, but they're immune to de-escalation.
Look, I've tried to get through this thread, and find out if it was terrorism or not, can anybody tell me please? I can't get to the news right now.
I don't know "them", so I don't know how immune they are to anything.
That lady here doesn't seem to have an issue driving machete wielding thugs off

The last confirmed status I saw from about 2 hours ago that his connections are still under investigation.
Out of the people arrested, 2 looked like "good catches".
Although a direct terror network link has not been confirmed as far as I can tell.

Oh, right! I forgot to mention this mostly happens with girls.
Sometimes i swear they are blushing. But it can be hard to tell, mostly because of powder. When a man do this? Well... that's raises some question right?
Also if you don't mind i continue to thinking out loud?
You know, sometimes a third person is just makes impossible to anything happen. Dont get me started, but to lose someone, because another person thinks he can be a good messenger? Well... that's crappy!
And also, there are the situations, when someone whom intentionally removed your life, trying to get around it. I don't like this kind of things... Not a little! Because you see? I had a lot of problems about it.
The other? Well... I think i's oblivious, So i cut it short, when i remove someone from my life? I dead serious about it! Not to mention, this kid of persons used this to psycho profile me, find weaknesses. the consequence? Was only bad to them, because i seen it trough.
there are no tricks in the book what this morons did not tryed out on me.And you know what's the most funny about this two? The "bright idea" about the first comes from a man from the second class... But as a smart man always knows, a troll, or ganker wants nothing else to do, just to mess with you. And speaking from experience? they are shameless enough to befriend someone, just to get to their target. I fault no one, but you know? I don't want to see something like this happen.

You should watch the movie 'Four Lions'.

It will tell you everything you need to know about Islamic terrorism in the UK.
That is a very funny film. At first, you think, they can't have really made this and believe that it is going to be ok; but after 10 to 15 minute, you just can't stop laughing.

I don't think it'll be too long before the police are routinely armed, either.
A policeman who is not armed. This is not serious
