I agree armed transit cops are unnecessary, but the argument
is that they are responisble for policing BART parking lots,
which are the site of vehicle breakins and assaults, and you
need armed cops to deter and/or respond to such activity.
My proposed solution to that is to get rid of BART parking lots
as well.
