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.

Law enforcement is not the friend of liberty. Did you read the article?
No what we need is a new police chief
I’m glad I moved 30 years ago, muss some people but notthe place
Garcia ! You took an oath to uphold the constitution. Police and Military are not the ONLY ones who should have AR-15’s and the like. You are bound by the statement, ” the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
And if today’s modern weaponry were available then (1700’s), the 2nd amendment would still read the same. It was written because of the wisdom of the founding Fathers – those who just got away from a tyrannical government. They would write it the same so no man or woman would ever be at the mercy of a well armed tyrannical /autocratic government.
One last note: There is no constitutional mandate for a police officer to protect a citizen. A police officer’s job is to uphold the law of the land (the constitution). Police are not responsible for my safety! I am responsible for my safety. Remember, when SECONDS count, you and your officers are MINUTES away. Get your head out of your you know what and start doing your job.
