The GRPD will be outfitting every cruiser with a Colt M4, because even though we have had VERY FEW situations in which such firearms have been necessary, and they are usually carried by SWAT, the new chief, who is not a fan of civilian firearms carry, has determined that shotguns and pistols simply aren't enough.
Why? Because we are "behind the [perceived] curve" when it comes to militarizing our police.
I cannot think of a single instance in which our officers have ever been confronted by someone with an AR/AK, but it COULD happen. No, they got jealous of other departments that have them.

"... the semi-automatic rifles are needed to help protect both officers and the public, particularly as those with ill-intent sometimes have access to the same type of firepower."
