    Probably because the Democrats are so anti-gun/weapon. The target demographic probably leans anti-weapon, even if they’re not necessarily Democrats. The combination keeps them more vulnerable. It’s even worse when carrying weapons in these areas is outright banned: no training, no permits, only police. The safety of the group is generally prioritized over the safety of the individual. Which, like here, can be a problem.

    From how they’re acting, it seems only a matter of time. They seem to check all of the boxes for a lethal or deadly force in nearly every state, even the strict ones. An unidentified suspiciously dressed group aggressively surrounding you and preventing your retreat? Lethal/deadly force can often be used to defend another person. Someone else can shoot these idiots in plain clothes with no identification.

    Even if “police” identify themselves late, it seems to be setting themselves up for a weak defense
