"pulling guns on ordinary people is pretty chilling: That just doesn't happen now."

"Ordinary" people seems like an important criteria here. The police still shoot people and raided the ABC not that long ago.

They didn't pull firearms to raid the ABC.

You would surely agree that gun pulling isn't considered normal everyday police technique, every single use of a firearm in Australia for police purposes is reviewed afterward. Far too many deaths in custody for sure, but.

1.7 deaths per 10m.
