Go read The Sun. Several stories in it about cops having to go back to the armory or calling out special cops who are certified to carry guns. Don’t go making accusations until you know all the fact.
The Sun is a low-rent tabloid. One thats has just had to apologise to Liverpool soccer fans for slander.
BTW, genius, I AM British. I know a damn site more about the British police than you will ever do.
British police do not have to go back to an armoury, there are specialist firearms units, and they are always on standby and armed.
