Oakland’s police chief LeRonne Armstrong held a media briefing about the arrest of a Good Samaritan who used his gun to thwart the assault and robbery of a woman outside his store. If there was ever a poster child for why the little people need self-defense insurance this police chief and his smarmy little grin is it.
The chief told the local media – grinning all the while – that “We don’t want people to fire weapons into our community. There could be unintended victims.†The message was clear: don’t resist bad guys who attack you because you could miss.
Hey chief, members of your community don’t want to be robbed in broad daylight on your city’s streets that you’re failing to keep safe. You can’t blame law-abiding citizens from choosing to defend themselves with the best tools for the job.
Chief Armstrong just kept digging in another media interview:
“Particularly, we don’t want people to fire weapons into our community,†he said. “When weapons are fired in our community, there could be unintended victims; people who are hit by gunfire. And we want to avoid that as much as we can.â€
A 36-year-old man faces one count of felony assault with a firearm, authorities said.
