    If he allows this then the other 364 days of the year will turn into open season on cops. Gangs will be out for vengeance, and will not let it slide.

    Not to mention that virtually every gun owner out there will prepare for such a day. You’ll end up with countless firefights between a relatively small number of cops and a lot of heavily armed groups with nothing to lose. Unless the orange Cheeto has some way of magically confiscating all firearms ahead of this then I think it’s going to be very difficult to convince the cops to do this.

      I even bet to some extent if all the gangs knew this was going to happen, they’d work together to survive the day while weakening the police as much as possible.

      This is not a movie. Gangs will fold like they always do when confronted with superior firepower.
