    Single shots from rifles do not cause permanent hearing loss.

    A better question is how can other cops bring a rifle into a densely populated area WITHOUT a silencer?

    I dont even know how to respond to this part. Maybe don’t have the cops come in with the expectations to use the weapon?

      I would prefer the cops not have any guns at all. They would certainly be more polite. If they are going to go do something that would need a gun they need a warrant and then 5 pages of requisition forms filled out in triplicate to request the guns.

      It’s not like they’ve been trained in any de-escalation techniques, if they’ve been trained at all.
