Have you edited the thread fella? because I cannot see any problems so far.

Just a bit of preventative pro active posting,it was heading that way, temp's were starting to rise although as I wrote the post it got back on track but already posted so ill leave as a reminder.

Although what Michael bubble has to do with it other than he wants shooting IMHO ...Ahhhh now I see the relation to the topic :christmaswindow:

Don't count your chickens, I think your on your own lol

If your on about routinely arming all police officers, you've read my posts, can you give me your arguments on the contrary.


PS If we are all agreed to drop the subject, please feel free to ignore.

Glen unfortunately it is something that is more and more likely to happen. Less than 5 yrs ago you would never have seen police in a station with weapons, now at most main line stations in London they are quite prevalent.

I think within the next 2 yrs most squad cars will have firearms in them, if not already.

There ARE more armed officers around than most of us think already!

I agree we should have armed police but not every police officers from what i seen the tazzer did do its job ,remember after 7/7 the police shot an innocent man aleast with a tazzer if they shoot the wrong man or women ,they will live to tell the tail , they have now posted extra armed police on the tube

 

[GMES]

I don't want to see any innocent people getting shot by the police but the issue for me is if a police officer responds to a call about a terrorist brandishing an ak47 I don't think it's fair to send him in with stun gun, for one thing he will need to get a lot closer to the gunman which leaves the officer in even more Danger, personally for me I think he would need to stop him from a safer distance.

Do you not feel with have enough armed respose teams already for this ,

 

[Paul.M]

Do you not feel with have enough armed response teams already for this ,

I'd like to have more of them tbh. Lets look at Friday nights attack and who responded first? Policemen only armed with tazers, thank God that the "attacker" was not carrying a gun!!!

If I am honest mate I don't what the numbers are for armed vs unarmed

Spot on Paul and my point entirely, what chance would the officer have had and then the terrorist would have been free to attack even more civilians.

 

[Flanders]

You make a good point but how far do we go how many police do we arm just london , just the major city's or every town and vilage these attacks could happen any ware , i guess its all down to money do we spend it on intergance or guns , the police have guns in france and still those terible attacks happened .
