In Europe, neither British nor Republic of Ireland police officers are routinely armed walking the streets or driving around. Northern Irish police ARE, and have been since 1922. | |||

Cultural practices, like religious beliefs, are usually very difficult and slow to change in societies. If the police themselves reject the idea of being armed and express that idea to the populace at large, it’s not likely to change anytime soon. If police are only being chased by criminals, what’s the big deal is the question that will be asked. Certainly it’s better that that happens than the streets run with the blood of the police’s victims.  Plus, there can be no question that the UK’s laws pertaining to private firearms ownership greatly reduce the chance that police officers will be confronted by firearms. If that were to change, attitudes would change. As I understand it, the increasing prevalence of firearms in lawless hands some years ago was the reason the UK even has limited numbers of armed officers. Keep in mind that the idea police should not be armed is far from unknown in this country, and is becoming more common all the time. Even on the Right if one officer out of hundreds of thousands does something that is perceived as being unjustified, out come the torches and pitchforks. That’s only one of the reasons why I would actively discourage anyone I cared about from becoming any sort of LEO. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

He's sorry. Yeah he is one of the sorriest sumbitches I've seen recently. I believe I'd have told him I would shove that stick so far up his ass it would come out of his fukkin eyes! Screw those migrant MF'ers. | |||

Time to get those old blackthorn shillelaghs out and show how differences are properly settled. The shillelagh is the reason why Irish heads are so damn hard. | |||
