Enoch Powell will be vindicated before too long. With armed police regularly patrolling our streets, there will inevitably be a major gun battle resulting in the prophesied "rivers of blood" due, I'm sorry to say, to uncontrolled immigration and lax border controls. To add to the potent mixture, we have a police force hamstrung with red tape,required to tick all the right boxes by the pc brigade, whilst becoming ever-more politicized by a government with its 'bunker' mentality. There's trouble ahead.

I think the Police should be armed so that they can protect themselves & the public.Over here in Australia all the Police are armed & it doesnt bother anyone.Like Bissy said about the uncontrolled immigration etc etc the situation is only going to get worse.As much as i love United Kingdom i have to say its not the place it once was,to many people & no control.

Even 20 years ago I would never have foreseen the UK coming to this but, since the eighties when we cuddled up to the Americans, it's only been a matter of time. I hate the thought of it personally but only because it's representative of how far this country has sunk and I'm sorry to say that Otto is probably right & there will be firefights on the street. For that reason alone I would back it as, despite our police force not being what they were when my Dad & brother were in it, they deserve protection from all the mindless yobs that are out there.

I can't see the problem, to be honest.
As long as you're law abiding, (and the police undergo complete checks and training before being allowed a 'licence to kill'), this will only serve to protect the general public, won't it?
It mightn't even have to cost lives, if officers aim for offenders' feet?
Or have I missed a massive point?

Sadly, there have already been a number of shootings that were not justified - and that when it was a specialist group. Can you imagine how many more there will be with every Tom, Dick & Harry in the force carrying a gun and the number of nail biting situations they meet on the street?

I blame the postal workers.
