Reply to comment by Grass8989 in Private guards hired by MTA arrested for NYC subway beatdown by 1600hazenstreet

In no way, shape, or form would the presence of guns have improved this situation.

Armed guards wouldn’t have gotten “emotionally” involved in a dispute with a person looking for tiktok clout. You’re basically implying that they were going to hand these type of guards a gun and say “good luck”.

yeah, because when I think of a demographic that I trust not to be unhinged, it’s “dudes who’re ineligible to be cops for various reasons but still want to have a gun at their day job”

Lol not everyone who’s an armed guard wants to be a cop, and many are retired from various law enforcement agency’s. It’s extremely difficult to get a armed guard license in NY. If you were ineligible to be a police officer, you wouldn’t be able to get an armed guard license.

Right guns are well known for making people more level headed and less emotional!
