Of course not, and here is the story submitted by a reader. These two officers responded to a robbery in progress when they were ambushed by an armed man that had a warrant out for his role in a shooting and grenade attack. The two unarmed officers responded to the call to the Hattersley Estate in Mottram.

Just think how much worse it could have been if the constables had been armed and able to return fire. Innocent civilians laying all over the streets like some wild west town with blood running in the streets.

“an armed man that had a warrant out for his role in a shooting and grenade attack.”

Is Dale Cregan a recent convert?

Hi.

Fair enough.

Fine thanks, you?.

LOL, not yet. Local council has said it will take a few dozen refugees. Whilst sympathy for fleeing people, it has angered many British, who want their own homeless and vets taken care of first.

The UK has about 800 murders a year in a pop of 62m.

Public and police don’t therefore feel that we need all police to be armed.

+++ role in a shooting and grenade attack+++

And we all know that once you outlaw grenades only criminals will have grenades. Or something like that.

Which are essentially useless as most are probably stored away from owners homes plus you get strung up if you use one in self defense...

You need a freakin license to own an over 12 ft/lb Airgun there for Petes sake... (But they are pretty good shots with those :-)

I understand that (about not arming them), but then what does a female officer do? Without guns we probably wouldn’t even have female cops in the US.

” ... has angered many British, who want their own homeless and vets taken care of first.” How uncaring of the British. LOL! I did read of a German lady who was going to be displaced from her apartment of 15 years because the town council had declared her complex be turned into a refugee center. WTH? Have you noticed the number of military aged male “refugees” coming across in any of the newspaper articles? Don’t see a lot of frail starving youngsters. But, maybe that’s because the press isn’t showing them.

No, that’s a myth. On both counts.

As a UK gun owner, I can tell you so.

ah FRiend you’ve nailed me: exaggeration in the cause of humor (and the real truth for those two law enforcement officers) is no excuse!

Pity a couple of them weren’t in the hands of these officers.
