No, I'm not a policeman, but I did serve in the military. What's the relevance to your post? Are you a policeman, or did you serve in the military? so, you've no experience at all of what the police in this country do, or what the police in any country do apart from what you see and read about, yet you feel qualified to comment on the British police and how they don't protect and serve just because they don't carry a gun. i'm not a policeman because i choose not to be, but my girlfriend is so i know exactly what they go through, you don't. you were in the military? is that were you got your desire to carry a gun from at all times? England has a diferent outlook towards gun compared to America, you feel its not only your right, but its also REQUIRED to carry or gun, or you can't protet yourself from those robbers who just might strike as you're going down the vegatable isle at your local 7/11 I really feel sorry for people in America who have this inbred gun culture thing going on, to live your life thinking that at any moemnt you might be in a situation that you might need a gun, must be terrible, thank god i live in England is all i can say The two poliewomen that this topic is about would still have been shot if they had been carrying guns themselves. It was a burglar alarm that went off, its standard practice for probationers to go to those calls... they were shot before they even realised that the robbers were coming out of the travel agents. Answer me this... why do you think its so rare for the police to get shot in this country? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

Just to put that in perspective if you look at www.leoka.com to see that in the US over the last 10 yrs there has been ana average of over 60 policemen/Law Enforcement officers killed each year. what a suprise...NOT American has a gun culture, you only have to look at some of the knob heads on here who think they have to carry a gun to protect themselves at all times... yes, maybe in American you have to carry a gun at all time, but certainly not in England, thank god we don't have the twisted gun mentallity that the yanks have, we'd be as fucked as they are if we did oh, by the way... i think i'll just strap on my Colt 45 and pop down to the supermarket, hey..you've got to be prepared at all times, right? hell... i might even take it down my local DZ ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

can i ask you a question? are you a policeman? are you putting yourself out there yourself to protect and serve? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

bullshit, you actually think its a matter of not being "inconvenienced" ???????? absolutly priceless ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

Wow....just wow.... I guess "to serve and protect" doesn't have any play with the police over there, does it? serving and protecing can be (and is) done without having to draw a gun on somebody, is that so hard for you to understand? Let me explain it for you.... She joined the police 8 years ago, she wanted to join the police to "serve and protect" knowing it was an unarmed police force, she hates guns and would never EVER carry or use one. She does her job very well wihtout a gun. She has arrested many people in 8 years, NONE of them required her to pull a gun on them, if it ever came to a situation where a gun was required to be used, she values her own life more than carrying a gun and having to use it on somebody, so would rather that person (who would be carrying a gun themselves) got away that time than risk her life by getting in a possible shootout situation I've not even looked at your profile, but i'd guess you're American with that kind of attitude towards guns, our police are respected all over the world for the job they do (unarmed), sadly.. yours aren't. What answer do you have to the fact that most British police don't want to carry guns? do you force them to and have a load of people walking the streest with guns who don't want them and are not prepared to use them? Because of the gun culture in America, you see police routinely drawing guns in situations that don't require it in the UK. You have a shoot first then ask qustions later mentallity, which is exactly why when i've been over to American, i've felt uneasy when dealing with the police. To me, Ameica is fucked where guns are concerned, its too late to do anything about it because there are WAY too many guns in circulation to make any form of control effetive. Hense why you've got situations (and an attitude) where people think its ok to take guns to a DZ i thought it classic American when i read the arguments about guns in which somebody was arguing the toss about his rights to take a gun to a drop zone, simply because he wanted to and thought he was safe doing so... priceless ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

why assume the british police WANT to carry guns anyway? most don't... are you suggesting sacking most of the police and recruiting ones who want to carry guns? this in Britain we're talking about, not gun toting America and all the problems they have ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

my girlfriend is in the Scotish CID and she says that most british police don't want to be armed, they joined an unarmed force and don't want to carry a gun... she says she would rather let a crimianl escape than to have to draw a gun on them fuck guns, leave them to the fools who want them ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police
