Does being armed actually deter cops in Texas? In my home country being armed is more likely to alert cops

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 118 points 1 year ago

It stopped the cops from entering a school while someone slaughtered 19 kids and 2 adults and that was just 1 person with a gun. So I'd say this would.

Have you heard about Uvalde?

Cops much prefer to beat up their unarmed wife than an armed group.

Don't forget about the children.

But only unarmed ones

Cops only punch down

The thing is, those guns cause pain and injury by ejecting small pieces of metal so fast they go right through you.

That pain and injury is a deterrence, yes. Even in Texas.

A dozen armed people attract cops.

A couple hundred armed people repel cops.

A single armed guy in a Texas school will attract cops at a medium distance but repel them at a short distance.
