2 shot cops got it wrong

In Chicago there are 2 cops who were shot in the line of duty running for public office.   Both cops agree on one thing only:

Both men said there are too few officers on the streets, and they would both push to get more cops working the beat.

But they got it wrong, it's not that there are too few cops, it's that there are too few armed law abiding citizens, this makes .1% of your population a police officer, 2% of your population dangerous criminals, and 97.9% of your population unarmed, defenseless victims waiting for violent crime to happen to them.
