Routinely armed police? It is now well past the time that was the case. We have allowed "multicultural" filth to enter our country and bring what people foolishly see as being a culture with them.
Well it's anything but a culture. It's tribal savagery that must not be allowed to polite OUR civilisation because if not stamped on it surely will.

Re: Police Officier shot dead
Events of this nature are rare in this country, and one of the main reasons for that is the fact that the police don't routinely carry guns, and neither do the criminals. Guns are hard to get hold of in this country, and by arming the police there will instantly be lots of guns available, not just for the police, but for the criminals too. It will turn into 'open season' for the acquisition of a shooter.

Again, I'd like to compare ours to other European countries whose police are routinely armed.
Do the criminals in those countries possess more guns than our criminals (in the gun:criminal ratio)?
I'd be interested to see some figures.

AT may think guns will stop terrorists killing, but he forgets that terrorists are often suicide bombers who will detonate their bombs when shot, just as they would before they were shot... so that won't save lives!
If some Muslim terrorists want death, surely humiliation would be a better punishment....along with seriously harsh punishments!

There are a couple of armed police officers patrolling Meadowhall shopping mall the last few times I've been there, and there is nothing more intimidating as they pass, clutching an automatic weapon, even though you know you have done nothing wrong, it seems to take away their 'Human ness'.
It feels like we are turning into a police state, and it's one more step taken from being the good old fashioned friendly, helpful, local Bobby of old, towards their morph into soldiers....

My choice for them would be an oubliette.

We share the same aim, but a different logic.
Do not make martyrs of them, we only get more.
Killing them abroad and saying nothing, is fine by me.
We cannot do that here.

Different views Muddy, as simple as that.
Making Martyrs just means more of them.
Our Politicians cannot keep their gobs shut.
In other Countries they just disappear.
No Publicity, no public awareness, very effective.
They crave publicity, we give it them.
A huge mistake on our part.

The problem is that most terrorist are stupid enough to believe that killing non Muslims & dying for the cause is a great honour... and they won't know it isn't till they are dead!
Personally i think that putting them into the stocks, on a regular basis & allowing those, they try to kill, to throw the leftovers from the market at them. Perhaps that would teach all potential suicide bombers that the shame and humiliation is not worth it!
