If our police are not respected for the job they do, then perhaps much harsher sentences for violence & murder should be introduced.... because the current ones aren't working!
I give up!
Every time the arming of the police is mentioned, out come the immortal words:
"We'll suffer the awful situations that occur in America."
Do those same 'awful situations' also occur in other European countries, all of which arm their police?
Why should we suddenly become like America?
Is it not possible that we could become like Switzerland or Sweden?
I'd like someone to explain how both Switzerland and Sweden are both safer and more peaceful than the UK, despite their police being armed yet ours are not.
It just goes to confirm that the above oft-stated assertion is absolutely unfounded nonsense.
