For Americans who support law enforcement and trust them to safeguard both their liberties and their well-being, it is disheartening to hear officers say that the way to protect the latter is by curtailing the former.
San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia is one such officer, as he revealed in an interview with San Jose Inside. Asked about the topics of the day, Garcia not only expressed support for the controversial Black Lives Matter movement, but also voiced opposition to laws allowing Americans to own firearms for their protection.
As one might be wont to point out, a majority of law enforcement officers believe that Americans should retain the right to bear arms, meaning that Garcia is clearly in the minority on the issue. However, his position as chief of police for the 10th largest city in the country means that his opinion will carry weight among the uninformed and be cited by liberals as support for their anti-gun agenda.

We need to disband the criminal in blue organization and its crooked union and put a crime free police force in charge. Stop using the police as strong arm to gather money for the politicians/courts.
You give up your gun first.
Criminals in blue want to be able to kill you without you being able to defend yourself. Over twice as many whites are killed by cops than blacks.
Do we expect different from CA?
What a California idiot
Isn’t this an area where the police aren’t intervening in violent protests??
Anyway, how the hell does he expect a person to defend himself with a knife in a gun fight???
How about that 65 year old woman whose home is broken into by a gun toting rapist? A gun in her hand at that very moment is the ONLY thing that will save her.
This officer is mentally off balance. With his ideas, the criminals would have carte blanche of anything they want to rob, steal, rape or pileage. It isn’t like they are going to give up their guns you idiot!
More guns and better cops.
I say there are too many morons who want to take my rights away….
Thats says it all
Screw him.
