"A gun is NOT a defensive weapon. A gun is an offensive weapon used to intimidate and show power. Police officers do not carry a gun as a defensive weapon to defend themselves or their other officers. They carry a gun to be able to do their jobs in a safe and effective manner and face any opposition that we may come upon".
Essentially what he said was this: Guns are used to intimidate and show power. That's why we police officers carry them. Next question?
