It's about time all serving officers are armed. The BTP officer that was stabbed multiple times, I bet all he had was a CS spray and baton.....
If he was armed, more lives would have been saved. The Westminster attack, officer at the gate too, was not armed. Unfortunately, he lost his life instantly.
The British need to realise the game of policing has changed forever and they need to adapt adequately....

na wa oh!
Somebody go soon come tell us say we and them na family.
when we go talk the truth?

I agree , why there are such word as armed officers beats me.they all should be armed cos of recent events . But I heard from a reliable source they are undergoing review .
