California police would never stoop to such a low level as to carry the sneering, evil black rifle that is the AR-15. Such an action (as is the action of the M16 series of rifles, apparently) would be morally reprehensible.
Mini 14s aren't true assault weapons though so it's fine to use them for law enforcement purposes up to and including deadly force encounters which the LEOs have righteously justified as applicable to their codes of conduct in the face of outlaw evildoers. And to that end, they don't mind taking a less scary action (same pun intended) and tacticooling up.
But no AR-15s, they are evil.
