Makes sense. I mean, they gotta keep the streets safe. It's "For the Children"TM. You understand.
Besides, what would you rather see the police do? Go after armed, violent criminals? Are you crazy? Someone could get hurt.
Oh, and, if someone give the mayor's string a pull, that would be a big help.
