RE: The Nigel Farage Show - Should police be armed?

in #news7 years ago

Hi @patrickmohr.
In my opinion all police should not be armed here as we English do not have the right to bear arms like the yanks do. Gun crime isn't a huge issue here. There have been polls showing that the vast majority of police agree with not being armed. What we do need here in London are more bobbies on the beat. The response from our armed police force yesterday was impeccable and I commend them for there professionalism and efficiency in the face of danger.
Ultimate authority shouldn't grant all police the right to kill.#LondonUnited

When seconds counts, the police are minutes away ..

Police would still be minutes away if all were armed... SO19 are quick and effective. Short of arresting people before they commit crimes what can they really do?

I respectfully disagree :-)
