If the cops in Paris had heavier weaponry, they might've saved some lives, or captured/killed some terrorists.
I am not saying the Paris police should've done things differently. I don't know what the answer is, and maybe the answer is "no automatic weapons for cops." I do not know. I am saying only that this event should factor into discussions about "militarization of police."
