“I can’t imagine any use for bayonets in an urban setting,” stated Sen. Rand Paul to Senate Homeland Security Committee at a hearing last year.
“I can’t answer what a local police force would use a bayonet for,” Alan Estevez said.
Paul snapped back “None”
Rand Paul is completely correct, of course, that there is no need for bayonets in local law enforcement. Bayonets are for hand-to-hand combat in battle and the only purpose is to kill.

Because firefighter use napalm so they won’t get hurt. And the police are heros….. Some are but not like firefighters.
How can something that extends your weapon keep people from grabbing it? More of a chance if you have ppe for your hands. Wtf
Does make you wonder the intent.
Isn’t it turn, grab, and push?
Maybe instead of bayonets, they should train them to be more efficient with their firearms and maybe just maybe allow them to shoot the bad guys
i guess if they run out of ammo before the citizens do..
Please enlighten us stupid civilians.
Police are hired by the city county state, only the sheriff who is voted in as head of law enforcement can stop them, he can also deputizes as many as he needs to do that
