And how bad do you think it would be at this point in history if they could smash doors with zero risk?
Cops are notorious cowards. For example, when people show up armed to protests they’re very polite and professional. Unarmed protests? Remember Portland?

The main difference the USA’s armed population seems to make is that the cops come in shooting.
