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.

It is worth pointing out that by the time one becomes chief of a large metropolitan police force, one has ceased to be an “officer” and has become a politician. As such, one likely has concerns more focused on political issues than on law enforcement issues.
Bonehead! You need more criminal control not gun control! The problem isn’t with law abiding citizens that need them to protect themselves when the police. An not! Criminals will always have guns because they don’t follow laws!
He’s in the minority alright (no pun intended) he’s probably an illegal alien if the truth is known.
I don’t like telling cops they’re wrong but this chief is wrong
This jack$#%&!@*is not wanting to be a policeman anymore!!! His going full politics on us ! He will be running for major or some politician job!
This guy is an idiot!!! If more gun control was the answer Chicago would be the safest city in the world.. And, this country fought a war with England because the English Crown thought the same way he does. He’s just another elite Socialist who by the way, is able to wear a gun… Think about this,, Socialism is for the People, not the Socialist! His very words prove him to be the enemy of the law biding citizen!!
what a fucking moron
He needs to give up his guns after shift and pick them up before shift. Bet 100 bullets he would never agree to that
Just goes to show there an ignoramus can creep to the top of any profession, particularly when surrounded by ignorance.
He is a mouth for the liberal agenda and needs to be reminders from his position of trust. Not only has he become a mouthpiece for gun control but he also is a verbal supporter of black lives matter which is in direct opposition to the best interest of law-enforcement officers. His contradictions of priority makes him unableto perform his duties.
