I dont know about that personally I love guns and hey if someone breaks in my house and wants to hurt me he better think again cause I wont hesitate to defend myself, which is basically the only reason I would need a gun. Oh and they are fun to shoot!Ago Iterum said:
I think that all police officers should carry "less lethal" fire arms, like tasers or mace. I even saw this weapon used in riot control fires a pellet full of powder that works the same way as pepper spray, but with power comparable to a paintball gun.
depending on the location
in Oakland, CA. i think they need full body armor, fully automatic machine guns, and close air support.
in Barrow, AK i think they wouldnt need more than a taser.

You people do realize that the people in the USA that use guns illegally would still get them even if we made a death penalty for owning them. You can smuggle firearms from Mexico easily and taking away the mass populace's weapons would just give the criminals more sheep to fleece so to speak.
UK has it tough police wise, this is an age where we get told by the council to "Remove your St. George's flag from your window, because it's offensive to minorities".
Police in the UK treat everything with kid-gloves now. Not their fault, they "have" to. Political correctness (Tamals in London atm, police won't touch em, lord knows it'll be "racist"), and modern media* means they're extremely limited in their choices of action.
I really feel for the average bobby atm, in many respects, they're powerless. Bring back the days when a delinquent youth yelling abuse at a police officer, who then goes on to steal 3 people's phones at knife point would get a slapping. Saw a two PC's (one white, one asian, both female) taking an untold amount of verbal abuse from 4-5 male black youths, who practically followed em down the street continuing the abuse(reason PC's did nothing? probably scared of being called a racist), this was about a year ago, it has only gotten worse.
Bottom line, give UK police more rights to uphold peace, without fear of persecution for doing so.
*Camera phones, personal camcorders etc. wielded by the public can be used against the police, when shown out of context. e.g protester spits in PC's face, PC gives him a beating to the legs with truncheon, filming of beating, then distributed to the news desks, PC gets persecuted, and dismissed from police force, despite him being in the right.

I hate guns, but I guess if criminals have guns, the police should be well-equipped enough to handle that.
Sure, getting rid of guns completely would solve a lot of problems, but....who wants that?
Think of all the future buddy-cop movies! They'd be ruined!

Um... okay? Yeah, you said "You have to be at the same level or one level above.." And I have never heard of a cop here in the US, that approaches a situation at "the same level". They don't go into fist fights with fists.. and they go into knife fights with guns. The whole "at the same level" thing is the part that seemed unique. I don't know why you felt compelled to supply the definition for OR in a condescending tone but have fun with that.ace_of_something said:

Whereas Airport cops get guns anyway,
I think they should all be armed, be it with stun guns or otherwise.
