There is currently, in the slime at least, a debate about whether Police should automatically carry firearms rather than just have them available in their vehicles.
As noted elsewhere the Minister of Police came out and stated that because she's a grossly incompetent racist she's opposed to the idea.
So am I!
Not because I support the racist but because I have met and observed a significant number of front-line police over the last 25 years.
90% of those men and women I've wouldn't leave in charge of a rubber-band without supervision.
The overall impression I got from them was they were an ill-disciplined, badly trained and poorly led group of cowboys fit for virtually nothing.
The 10% were exclusively male, older with years of policing experience and, unfortunately, often talking of retiring from policing due to the poor leadership in the force.
From what I've observed further arming the Police would be a serious mistake.
