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？

Nowadays, the role of the

police

force has become more crucial than before as there are higher criminal levels.

However

, I strongly disagree with those who think that

guns

carried by the

police

force will encourage a higher level of

violence

in society for two main reasons. First and foremost, I can not find any correlation between a

police

gun and a criminal case that possibly happened. The

guns

' function is to protect the

police

themselves

as well as

the society around them, so they will use their

guns

if they feel or see people in danger.

For instance

, a criminal who stole

money

from a store ran away,

thus

the

police

can use their

guns

to stop them.

Furthermore

,

guns

can

also

function to prevent

violence

. To illustrate

this

, let's say there is someone who wants to steal

money

from a random person in the street, but suddenly he sees the

police

with

guns

around there, so he decides to step back.

Secondly

, I think there are more crucial factors that encourage someone to do something violent. Maybe economic factors have become the main reason why people choose to be criminals. They have to fulfil their needs to live but do not have

money

to buy things. We often hear many cases like that,

for example

, there is someone who steals a phone so that he can sell it and get

money

from it. In conclusion, I can not stand with those who believe the

guns

of the

police

force will drive a higher level of

violence

. I think there is no correlation between those two things.

Moreover

, I believe that

violence

happens because of fundamental reasons like economic factors.

Therefore

, rather than argue about the

police

guns

' function, we can discuss more about how to prevent criminals by raising society's welfare.
