Countries with Unarmed Police
So we know best when the rest of the world does not ? All the other countries are out-of-step. 🤣
If our police had been armed over 50 years ago, many policemen/policewomen and civilians would be enjoying life today with their families.
It is absolutely pathetic that the mighty but small UK is included in the piffling list of odds and sods of countries who do not have armed police in this time of widespread total disregard for law and order and sometimes horrific violence, that we have to continually risk in our daily lives.
On this issue, we MUST be wrong, by an overwhelming majority decision.
I have often seen statements saying that the police themselves do not wish to be armed - my answer to that is if the Government sensibly got into step with the rest of the world and armed our police, then individuals who did not like it could find another job. Just like soldiers, who are also volunteers.
All I can say is - get on with it Britannia and good luck to all our police and fellow citizens.
The only way I have ever known on how to win is to have a bigger club than the other guy and to strike first.
