Guns has absolutely everything to do with policing in America. Police are trained to prepare for a gun in every encounter from a traffic stop to Jay walking. It’s why police are trained to be aggressive with suspects. It’s why police have to subdue suspects instead of corral them. It’s exactly the cause of tension between police and the people they encounter in their day to day duties. You just are ignorant and don’t know any law enforcement well. Try asking them how much guns are a part of their training. It’s in every aspect of the way they have to police.
Totally buffoonery on your part about democrats. If it’s not a democrat city then it’s a democrat state or democrat dog catcher. Are you that dense that you think those tropes you get from right wing tv are actually true?
States with the most gun violence are run by republicans:

Why? Because there are more guns and looser laws in those states.
You’re caught in a loop of ignorance and it’s just compounding.
