Police on one hand - Leary about people defending themselves when threatened by a group of men with handguns committing a felony.

Police on the other hand - Unloading 30 bullets into a truck because it's a truck.

At the end of the day, the police are no more responsible with guns than the general public. The difference is the police have way less accountability when they discharge their guns than the public, which is truly, truly scary.
