Man...your cops are so different from ours. Maybe because it's a real job here with requirements, mental and physical assesment, and even years long training. The assclowns won't even survive day one of the assessments.

But also yeah, I wouldn't risk self-defense either (if it'd be allowed). Stuff can be replaced. I just didn't think of that coz noone carries guns here except cops. And maybe some mobsters. You just call the cops and piss off.
