The British Ministry of Defence (MoD) is preparing to deploy the army after hundreds of police officers handed in their guns in protest of a murder charge brought against an unidentified officer who shot and killed Chris Kaba, a young black man who tried to evade a police roadblock by ramming his vehicle into theirs.
The MoD announced it has “accepted a military aid to the civil authorities request from the Home Office to provide routine counterterrorism contingency support to the Metropolitan Police” and to “keep the public safe and respond to any eventualities.”
The ministry further stated the soldiers deployed shall have no powers of arrest, nor will they be asked to undertake policing tasks.
More than 100 police officers turned in their firearms permits, arguing that they were worried about how it impacts them. One former officer told a radio station, “What is obvious to me, they are not acting out of anger or petulance… They’re incredibly concerned it’s not worth it anymore.”

It dies work, but there might be a period where it does explode as people learn new skills.
I don’t hardly blame them. Let’s see how the admin enforces the laws without their armed response squads.

The liberal goal is to create an environment where Marshal Law can be declared.
The Commie Limey Politicos should have told the Bobbies in advance that they changed their Job Titles to "Fall Guys" and they could have done this earlier.
Hope it's Open Season on Limey Politicians and Prosecutors.
Without the police to protect them the UK will become a bad place for criminals.
The phrase “downing guns” makes it sound like they swallowed their guns.
Keep in mind, the people with the guns make the rules. In Sweden, it is difficult to legally buy a gun but you can get a fully auto AK pretty easily. If gangs bring enough guns into Britain, they can pretty much own the place.
Knife attacks in the UK skyrocketed when they banned guns unless you have a reason to own one and after a robust background check.
It’s been proven effective by a over a dozen American cities.
That was the only reason I read the article: to find out what the heck they were doing with their guns.
That’s an interesting thought. A person stops a criminal and tells him, “I have some good news and some bad news, the good news is we’re not cops. The bad news is we’re not cops.” They can now have their was with these career criminals, and get rid of them for good.
“The ministry further stated the soldiers deployed shall have no powers of arrest, nor will they be asked to undertake policing tasks.”
In other words they aren’t going to do squat.

In the UK if a citizen decks a burglar the citizen is the one arrested. I wonder how that applies to crime on the street.
Drowning guns is not the answer. They fall overboard all by themselves on canoe trips.
“The liberal goal is to create an environment where Marshal Law can be declared.”
Right on the money, without any doubt at all this is the final goal. Coming to our neighborhood soon.
I think you mean “martial law.”
And martial law.
