The Scottish Police Federation wants the country to follow New Zealand in allowing officers to quickly access weapons in emergencies.

    Because police kill people every fucking day by mistake. Many countries do not arm police, they have highly trained squads with guns they call, and those guys don’t spray bullets when they are nervous.

      So if you’d trust highly trained people with guns why not highly train the police force? In more than just firearms too.

        More guns = more shootings. It’s pretty fucking obvious.

        Because then you either have a tiny police force or you lower standards for gun discipline.
