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.

I don’t always back the blue but im with you on this one chief morrison
Let him lead by example and give up his guns. At home and on the job.
Scotty, though I support your overall take that guns in the right hands are a good preventative measure, I feel compelled to point out a discrepancy in your reasoning. As a Peaceful Anarchist I recognize no law, I am ruled by my own ethics. Your state your disagreement with a particular law (which I agree will limit one’s inherent right to self defense) then justify it by using the term law abiding citizens. When one can recognize that certain laws are flawed it is necessary to use a different standard of judgement than being law abiding to determine good people from bad people.
Ya, he’s a fuckn moron.
Isn’t he the police chief being sued right now cause he depth refused to protect Trump supporters at a rally during his campaign
Try enforcing the multitude of guns laws already on the books.
Gun Control does not work. PROOF? Chicago, IL
You need a new police chief!
Yeah it is probably rough out there with all those law abiding citizens owning guns, we need to pass a law that keeps criminals from getting guns, oh wait their criminals they wouldn’t follow that law either
As history has shown us, this logic has proven itself wrong once we follow this path, exhibit A is included. Only the corrupt and evil will own guns and what follows will be oppression for those not possessing a weapon.
“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
