They make it so all us plebs who don’t have ear pro don’t go eeee so bad the rest of our lives if they have an acorn fall on a car nearby, to use internet speak
Exactly - they don’t work like in the movies. There’s no tactical advantage to them for police. All they really do is protect the hearing of the shooter and make it harder to figure out the exact location of gunfire in the area in combat.
Law enforcement should want guns to be really loud to draw the attention of other law enforcement and entice citizens to flee if a gunfight breaks out.
That’s one thing they do. If the job of police was to protect their own hearing - great. But that’s not their job.
Suppressors make it less-obvious to a novice that a loud sound is a gun, keeping bystanders from fleeing. They also make it harder for other police to determine the direction and distance of gunfire, and when police are shooting, they generally also want backup.
suppressors reduce gun volumes from instant hearing damage to still instant hearing damage but quieter. They don’t work like the movies.
law enforcement should not have weapons at all. The suppressors are fine.

Dust maska prevent lung damage. If the job of coal miners was to protect their own lungs - great. But that’s not their job
I hate cops as well, doesn’t mean I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to become deaf if they ever need to use their gun
