It may be common, but it's misdirected. Nobody has ever actually explained who is supposed to do these things, other than "cops but with no guns," and I see no evidence that there are people lining up to take jobs as unarmed cops.

OK but that just goes back to their original point re: the prevalence of guns in the US.
