I did not watch the video, as I expected it to not be truly representative of police views.

To give you some police point of view on gun control, Police magazine recently ran a survey of its membership on their opinions on gun control. To subscribe to this magazine, you must be an LEO of some type, a CJ student, or related to the field in a similar manner.

The article reporting the results is not on-line yet (hope it will be soon) but 84% of the officers are against gun control. About 50% did believe in licenses though (and I am not sure how that jibes with the ones who said no to gun control). There is a little discussion about it in the police forums, but not much. If you check there, you will see that the officers who believe citizens are second class are a very small minority and will get corrected by others fairly quickly.
