Should UK police carry guns?
Yes I think they should, how many police are hurt, threatened or killed each year because of thugs and yobs that cant follow the rules of life? It’s a load of rubbish what they say about police having guns will make the criminals also carry them, how many police officers carry knifes? I’ve never heard of a criminal using pepper spray as a weapon. I dont think the police have any real authority over criminals, I no I for one (if I was a criminal) would be more inclined to listen more to an officer who had a gun in his hands than I would to an officer with a can of pepper spray, They are here to protect US the general public…If they cant protect themselves how can we expect them to protect us? Maybe the goverment should give it a chance, Looking at the state of this country what more harm could it do?! Back in the day (i’m only 29 btw) when our parents were kids etc a clip round the ear from a copper done them the world of good, nowadays WE parents cant even clip our kids round the ear
