Have you seen some of these coppers ? I wouldn’t trust them with a pepper spray. Some might be able to point and pull a trigger but I suspect would either shoot themselves or get beaten up lose the gun. I tend to agree. But then there again, TASER has been a thing for donkeys years but how many have been disarmed and TASERED? The fact is it's tactical: You don't police the same way armed as unarmed. If armed, you need to be booting that suspect in the head if there's any chance at all that they might get up and get hold of your firearm. It's a much more hands off, less physical restraint, more distance, more robust model than the unarmed "Pile in and have a roll around" style of policing that's hitherto been practiced. But the public, politicians and courts would need educating before that becomes practical. Let’s hope they don’t throw the copper under a bus for doing his job then .

I suspect that they will because we live in an infantilised and deliberately divided society where multiculturalism and it's gullible supporters must be appeased.
And the anger will grow as the means to deal with it are diminished.

So we've just heard Sir Dickhead give his big powerful speech, is this the sort of thing he's stamping out ... oh no wrong colour.

Surprise, Surprise the idiot Keir Scummer is going to fan the flames.
I wonder if this will be the shortest lived and most brutally ejected government in history.
Let's hope so.

If we do arm police then we will need to recruit the kind of police that can be trusted with one . Ex soldiers maybe . Training Bentley, training. I never met anyone who could not be trained to use and handle firearms. Hmm... did you see the video of the female Secret Service officer at Trumps assassination attempt who could not find her holster?.. Did not inspire confidence..

Oh come on, you're having a laugh. I'd be far more concerned about her struggling to 'unholster' her sidearm, I think that's a cheap shot. Yes it's a cheap shot the left wing press were always going to jump on, but a cheap shot none the less.

I have relatives that live in NZ.
There the Maori mobs can have gun fights as long as it does not affect bystanders, this is normally happens with shot-guns.
And then a few times a year they rumble into town slowing down local traffic while wearing all their club insignia.
The relatives don't like it and not long ago despite that terrorist attack in Christchurch they needed to get all thier firearms registered.
In Australia a number of years back I recall the locals getting upset when they needed to hand in their firearms saying you are putting us at the mercy of criminals and corrupt policeman.

In business a firm is a shadow cast by one man, and its true for governments.
The countries ills are about the expression of left ideology executed by the Tories and Labour, and the problem is we cant get rid. Except by torching stuff. While protestors are labelled as thugs, the real thugs run the country.

Sky news were in Birmingham today and questioned an older Muslim chap about the number of facially covered young men hanging around and some with clubs.
He said they were part of a 1,000 man group that could be called up on social media and got out his Smart Phone.
They confirmed he was part of that group and then asked would they respect the rule of law and peacefully protest and he struggled with that, then the news crew were being pushed around with masked mean trying to slash the tires of their van with a knife,as they ambled along in parked traffic.
Not a policeman in sight at this big junction and retail area.

The interesting thing (by my understanding) is that they initially tried to cover up / hide this incident
Why would they do that? To give a false impression?

It's not just a police two tier problem, it's a news media problem, SKY haven't made much of a issue because they were under siege by Black gangs, had the news crew come under the same siege by white gangs it would be plastered everywhere 'White far-right EDL thugs target SKY news crew'... there isn't even ONE mention in any mainstream media about the far-left groups like this mob who surrounded sky news.

Yes I notice the threat about hard labour for those convicted in these riots, will he apply the same terminology for the black bike driver that tried to kill the british officer.

I can see a sudden influx of white males into our jails upsetting the 'communities' who presently run these institutions
I have no doubt the government are in consultation with these groups to see what can be done.
