looking at the replies, where was your central bank

Given the response to the survey of SERVING officers, where 82% did NOT want to be armed

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19641398

I would suggest that a great many highly experienced officers might leave if FORCED to bear arms. Whilst, in time, they would be replaced by those who think carrying a gun is a manhood thing, the standard of policing would drop dramatically, and probably never recover.

The great unwashed british public, lead by such wonderful publications as the Sun/Mirror, might think they know best - yeah .. arm the police innit ... - but I would suggest those that actually do the job know a great deal more than a few jumped up tabloid editors looking for a headline.

Fair point that.

Don't forget, your a part of the "great unwashed"
