Get it? Got it? Good!

Yes! A lot of criminals carry guns so the police should too!
As has been said Australian police are armed & there is no gun problem there, the police are given more respect than the police over here...

The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people. But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people. England and Wales has a firearm murder rate of 0.07 per 100,000 people. |

Police need guns because if the criminal has got a Knife or a Baseball Bat wouldn't you rather the Police have a Gun or a stick thing that wouldn't harm a Fly?

No, it's unnecessary and the police themselves don't even want to be armed, 82% of them are against it
I also think we've had enough cases of the few armed police we have shooting people unlawfully so as not to want every single police officer in the country to have a gun |

The London Metropolitan police are the most thuggish brutish cops in the country, but they are policing a city that is as equally thuggish and brutish, they're hardly comparable to the rest of the UK.

How so? Male police officers wouldn't have been killed? Of course they would have. I don't really get what you mean here?

Armed Officers are Male.
Sure they would have also died. |

but it was a routine call out that turned out to be an ambush, there was no need for armed police at that point.

They believed it to be a routine call so even if male officers had have gone they wouldn't have been armed, in this case

Left wing policies?... I would just love to know what they are and why they tie the hands of the police in the UK?
I don't believe personally it has thatmuch to do with respect, there are more armed response units due to an increase in gang culture and organised crime and terrorism. Day to day bobbies though should never be armed, you cannot demand respect... It is good that the national diploma in public services allows young people to see the difficulties faced in modern policing, and encourages youths to follow this career path. There are many 'fly on the wall' series following officers on various patrols in various roles. Again this helps the public connect with the police, seeing the problems, decisions,dramas and dilemmas faced by them everyday. This was an unavoidable tradgedy, and not an argument for policy change or arming uniformed officers.
