I believe all Police officers should bear a side arm whether they like it or not. Many fear using one would see them be thrown to the wolves ,if things go tits up. | |

It's a difficult one for the layman to answer tbh,personally I'd leave the decision to those that know best ie the people on the front line, but I must admit in these uncertain times it was reassuring to see. | | | |

I and Mrs Mute were there too, did we acknowledge each other or was it another Jack I said hello to? Yes , I found it quite reassuring too. It was a nice touch by one of the armed police officers to smile at everyone and say hello, it was a little like being at an airport with the police carrying guns . | | | |

The reason they are not routinely armed is twofold.... Police federation would rather not have this & The police top hierarchy are afraid of an arms race with the criminal fraternity if they do. I agree, however, I do feel that the number of specialist firearms officers should be increased. | |

Armed officers present in McArthur Glenn today on 23:52 - May 27 with 1938 views | DwightYorkeSuperstar | I always feel very safe when in America as I know there is likely somebody close by with a gun, whether it be a police officer or a trained citizen. I feel the same way when in Piccadilly Station and the other places I've witnessed armed police patrolling. | |
