I appreciate Hoser's viewpoint, officers of the law do indeed deserve the means to come home alive. It is a dangerous and extremely difficult job that only a few can do, or even attempt to do.

But the mentally unstable man trapped in unreality also deserves the right to go home alive, even if he is missing a kneecap.

A quiet town needing a fucking Bearcat is not about police safety or citizen safety, it's about an increasing presence and this growing attitude of "THE POLICE ARE YOUR FRIEND" yelled from a bullhorn behind ED-209.

I do want safety for citizens and police alike, Hoser has a great viewpoint from behind enemy lines, and Samantha has a great viewpoint from the common citizen. We do not need military presence in every day life, town streets are not a battlefield. Is it worth striking fear into the hearts of common folk simply because there is an off-chance that a guy armed like it's GTA will show up? Cops armed like troops do not make anyone feel safe, they make everyone nervous.

I'm not shitting on anyone or their right to go home alive, nor am I denigrating what the Police have to deal with. I appreciate everything that is done by Military and Police alike, but the idea that everyday life is looked at like a potential battlefield does make me nervous.
