So, first off I understand that English possibly isn't your native dialogue and so kudos to you fellow sophont for being able to manage more than one language.
For your edification I have actually worked with my country's law enforcers and I know the history behind why they are armed.
Did you know that standard British police officers are generally unarmed? (Note my understanding of things in England may be horribly outdated. Am quite happy to be informed and updated)
Do you know why this is so?
As for 'Criminals', yes my time assisting my constabulary and watching 'Criminals' "In the wild" as it were has certainly changed my veiws in regards to such people....
But certainly not to the extent that we should be mutilating them
Please try to broaden your mental horizons.
Cheers.
Thank you for your kind gesture.
Yes I read about that -UK normal cops being unarmed-. But still the SAS and counter terrorism are armed to the teeth.
It all falls to our different views about what works better for the victim of the criminal act; I already mentioned that in a just system this kind of penalty is a healer for the victim; and I gave an example with one losing their life savings to robbery and theft.
The society can crumble if theft is widespread, take Middle Eastern and African countries as an example, enduring such horrible crime can only be redeemed -in my view- via taking something dear from the criminal.

For far too long, we have had to put up with these scofflaws. Elk simply do not respect the rule of law and do not know how to behave in a civilized society. They ignore road signs, curfews, and social distancing guidelines. Do you realize that there is not one, single recorded instance of an elk paying a parking citation, or showing up for a court appearance?
This is why I think all police should be armed with elk-seeking missiles.

In Saudi Arabia there are camels. They kill the drivers of speeding cars that crash with them on travel highways. strong bones.
But elk are real, not mythological like camels.
