    • AK?

      In America it’s a busha to have Russian platform, so you won’t see police with AKs. Those in pictures are AR-15s.

  • police should look like police

    The officers should always be required to be in uniform.
    Having them run down the street with automatic weapons could scare someone or cause them to be shot by someone thinking they are terrorists, etc.

    Why do the police think it is better to go in clothes than makes them look like gang members?

    • Guns in NYC?!

      Who would shoot them? There are almost no legal guns being carried in NYC. You may try wasting time and money to have one in your residence.

      They aren’t police. They’re special agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Basically like FBI, DEA, or Secret Service but tasked with different responsibilities.
