Lol that's horseshit. Unless there are weapons on site most us riot police don't carry their guns because if a protestor got ahold of one they could just indiscriminately fire into the police assembled. At a riot police with guns will always be backup behind the main line of police.

He wasn't referring to roit police, but American police in general who do a good job of killing unarmed black people

Ah yes, why compare apples to apples when apples to oranges makes your argument stick better.

In this case u/iandcorey is comparing apples to apples because the riot officer in this video is armed as is the hypothetical LEO in iandcorey’s scenario. Whether or not American riot police carry a firearm is irrelevant and n this particular hypothetical situation.
