"A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that Seattle police can only use force “proportional” to the threat they face, seriously damaging the Seattle Police Department’s ability to use firearms."

“The City of Seattle has a significant interest in regulating the use of department-issued firearms by its police officers,” Judge William Hayes wrote, adding that the policy “did not impose a substantial burden on plaintiffs’ right to use a firearm.”

Is this a good or bad thing?

Well, its obvious Seattle has solved the police brutality issue.

What happens if ISIS uses a dirty bomb? Can the police counter nuke them?

Imo their issue is not the PD but the firearms they carry. Eventually armed Seattle citizens too will have to grab a knife if confronted with a knife wielding criminal and so on so on.

As long as the same rules apply to the judges, politicians, and their security teams. What happens when a bad guy pulls a gun and it misfires? Or it's a toy gun?
