Police Guns

* Re Donald Mayer’s Feb. 19 letter: Mayer writes that 75% of street officers should be disarmed except for a shotgun in the patrol car trunk. This would reduce police officer shootings, which is true. But how many officers would die when they pull over a car driven by armed felons and all they have to protect themselves is a video camera to record their deaths? Tell me, Mr. Mayer, would you be so willing to patrol the streets in a uniform under these conditions?
