The one 8,585 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Today I caught bits on a radio talk show about all the police should now be armed , one caller made some sense when he said all police officers who want arms should be allowed to ? Me I'm no sure I think it comes down to mi5 or mi6 no doing there job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomburras 2,730 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I think they should be armed. Theres enough criminals using wepons and they need to be able to defend their selves and protect others. Especially with the new threat of terrorism. The old Bobby with a truncheon belongs in the olden days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
just-A-snap 1,269 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 If someone is not known, talkative, a loner or is just one of the smart ones, then they will fly under the Security Service’s Raider. That is not to say that the ball is not dropped as the Americans say every now and then.If we arm all of our police, then they who want to make us their slaves have wone half the battle.

walshie 2,804 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 As someone pointed out in another thread, we can't just give guns to existing coppers as half of them are the last people I would want to see in charge of a firearm. However, taking on new coppers who are suitable and training them adequately from day one is almost inevitable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,791 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 The government must surely be rubbing it's hands after every terror attack when the public clamour for everything from armed police to total surveillance of the public. You could be forgiven for thinking they want them to happen 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomburras 2,730 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 That's what I mean, don't give them all a gun! Train more of them to use them so they have a faster response. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Was totally against it in past. Now im all for it. Seems any wannabe terrorist is going to attack anybody and anywhere. They know they can cause a lot of injuries and death by the time they are stopped. all very well arming cops in certain areas around high risk areas, but these c**ts will just go outwith these heavily guarded areas. its not an attack on democracy as politicians like to claim. Imo its all about taking as many lifes as possible .These scum dont really care about the politics in spite of what they claim. Its noteriety and twisted religion 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithie 2,444 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Police around parliament and the palace etc should be armed Imo but I would not arm all police. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 16,959 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 No chance A copper knocked over some clown in London and people wanted his head, can you imagine if they were armed? Armed police should always be a last resort in escalation, not the default action Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 You'd think outside parliament they would be as a matter of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,791 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 You'd think outside parliament they would be as a matter of course. They had armed officers there which is why he was killed so fast? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leethedog 3,071 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Arm all police would be my vote but it won't stop nutters but at least they could be delt with on the spot rather than costing tax payers money in prison Edited March 23, 2017 by leethedog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They had armed officers there which is why he was killed so fast? The policeman killed wasn't armed though. He had to wait for backup, which can be too long when you're being knifed by a deranged wog. I'm sure if he had his own gun he'd be alive now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
