    That’s one thing they do. If the job of police was to protect their own hearing - great. But that’s not their job.

    Suppressors make it less-obvious to a novice that a loud sound is a gun, keeping bystanders from fleeing. They also make it harder for other police to determine the direction and distance of gunfire, and when police are shooting, they generally also want backup.

      Dust maska prevent lung damage. If the job of coal miners was to protect their own lungs - great. But that’s not their job

      I hate cops as well, doesn’t mean I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to become deaf if they ever need to use their gun
