Some people believe that if the police force carries guns, it would encourage a higher level of violence in that society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Violence is an age-old problem in many parts of the world.Some
people
believe that Police
officers
carrying guns will signify a level of violence
while
others think it's the opposite.I believe that it's just used for defence and in case of emergencies.
To begin
with,not only do
people
who are in the defence system carry a rifle or gun but
also
many individuals purchase it for their own safety.
Officers
with equipment usually do not
use
them until they see any sign of danger or threat from any neighbouring countries or criminals .
For instance
,in ,India police
officers
just
use
them to treat criminals or robbers.Sometimes these criminals
use
higher weapons as means of committing a crime.In
such
,case
policemen
use
their guns as a mode of self-defence.
On the other hand
,
policemen
being armed may accidentally shoot a criminal
while
catching him and in doing so he may injure innocent citizens.Looking into
this
people
fear for their safety and think they should not be armed and try keeping a gun for themselves to prevent
such
situations.
Policemen
create an environment of violence by sometimes opening fire in public places where the crowd is not under control in doing so many
people
die.
For example
,during election times when
people
take out ,
rallys
Correct your spelling
really
large crowds are gathered in places and sometimes
this
leads to fighting between the opposition parties to stop
such
incidents
policemen
fire.
To conclude
,I believe Police
officers
should be armed to protect themselves and society in uncontrolled situations but it should not be misused.
