Police should not only be obligated to carry guns, they should be allowed to use them. Police in america only carry guns for show. If a cop does end up using thier gun, they have to go through weeks of court and go infront of a review board. If they actually kill someone, they go through court for months. Oh yeah and the court costs come from their pocket. Cops have less rights than the criminals. Bounty hunters have more rights than cops, what kind of shit is that?
Cops should be outfited with fully automatic rifles just like the German police. German police get repspected, why dont american police? Oh yeah, thats because the poletzie are allowed to fu.ck you up. Police are underpayed, under respected and over worked. Give them more money, more rights, and more weapons.

Wow, you totally missed what i was saying. You are talking like police run the world. Police have very little rights. Like doctors they have to buy insurance incase of being sued. It is like the misconception of doctors. People think doctors are these rich over payed people. When infact most doctors dont make nearly as much money as they should. They are in debt for about the first ten years of their profession and constantly have to buy malpractice insurance. Why do we stigmatize police as always being dirty and abusers of their power? It is because hollywood, and a few instances that get blwon up in the media. Police get treated like complete shit. Cops are ordinary people just like you and me, they think no differently and do a job just you do. Most officers become cops because they want to help people, but end up taking on a bitter perception of the world early on in their career. It is not the cops condeming you to prsion or affording you money in tickets. It is the law, they just uphold it.
The poletzie cary automatic weapons and dont have the same law as excessive force as we do. In germany they can beat you down, or pen fire with very little restraint. They do not beat everyone up and shoot people over nothing. why assume american police woul, if given more rights and weapons?
How so? Can you not get a gun in the UK if you really wanted one? I mean if people in the UK want guns bad enough to kill cops for them,i am more than certain that those people would have guns.
Guns are not the problem, it is people. Guns are not the problem of gun crimes in the U.S. Saying that guns are the problem is not looking deep enough in the issue. I am not saying that guns are good, but they are no where as bad as people make them out to be.
So you believe if guns were standard issue for all police in the UK, that everyone would kill cops for the guns? Sounds like the UK is already messed up then and you have lots of problems. MAybe guns are what needed if people are that blood thirsty for guns.
Well I agree cops can be abusive of their powers.. I've seen it happen. But they need guns. I live in a semi-high crime area myself and I would much rather have cops with guns than gangbangers with guns walking around my neighborhood. For the most part cops do piss me off.. but crack dealers piss me off more.

Nah I say that guns are generally bad news. Anyone who has seen bowling for columbine obviosly would agree. And to answer your question we dont have gun shops in the UK and if we do, its not as accessible as they are in the US.
No one wants to kill the cops no more then they wanna kill anyone else.

Originally posted by AkuThe world would be a better place without guns, just like the world would be a better place without disease. It's just a fantasy though. Even if you do outlaw guns, then the only people who will have them are criminals. They already break the laws to get guns they aren't permitted to have, what makes you think any law's gonna change that? Unfortunately life isn't all rainbows and butterflies.. criminals are going to have guns no matter what, therefore in order to effectively do their job, cops do need guns. I don't really know you're situation in England.. I doubt you have as much crime as us so maybe your cops don't need guns as much.. but I bet the streets of England would be safer if they did.

I think the Police should have Guns, why would they abuse it? I mean if they had other weapon s like clubs or whatever you cal that they can abuse that too. I think the police is there tio protect us and uphold the laws the m<ajority of people agrees on. We should respect Police officers and they should be allowed to carry guns and use them, in special situations for self defence as well as to help citizens.
