We are Schrodinger’s Police. Simultaneously ‘The Best in the World ’ and ‘unable to be trusted to carry a firearm’. 🤷♂️#RoutineArming
Reflecting on the #PoliceBravery awards I was struck just how often it is unarmed colleagues are going toe to toe with armed criminals - guns & knives & lucky to survive!
We need far more armed support locally - not central hubs - if not it is time to consider #RoutineArming imo.
Officers who have put their lives on the line to keep the public safe will vie for awards at an annual ceremony.
One of them had just "minutes" of blood left in him after being stabbed several times.

Full #Taser roll out will not happen until the govt. MANDATE & fund it.
The arguments for #RoutineArming are compelling but it won’t happen - same reason. Logic, evidence nothing to do with it.
2nd best is getting far more armed officers working among routinely in cities.
We must the only officers in the world expected to go toe to toe with criminals armed with deadly weapons like this. How many more must be seriously injured or mudered? #RoutineArming #Taser
Folks this is quite a Graphic Video clip of this mornings attack on police officers in London; I’ve posted it to show how difficult it can be for Even SIX officers to take down a man armed with a knife; it’s quick & shows outstanding bravery be the police
@remmy_308 I definitely see increasing pressure for exponentially increased arming or #RoutineArming because in the globalised world & current terrorist trends we stand out as sitting ducks in the UK.
I personally think it’s something the Fed should push more.
@remmy_308 We’ve definitely pushed for full #Taser roll out to all frontline officers which I think is achievable.
#RoutineArming or a significant increase in armed officers is something that is politically difficult albeit recent polls show the majority of the public are supportive of it.
Has to be a firearm. #Taser is very worthwhile & can mean we avoid using lethal force (which is absolutely what we want).
But it’s nearly always unarmed officers who come across these threats first in the UK. We shouldn’t have to go “toe to toe” ever. #Taser #RoutineArming
You see a male threatening the public with a knife/hammer/firearm
Do you respond with a
Held down & throat cut doing his job.
The guilty should never see the light of day. But in our system they certainly will.

1/2 BREAKING: A female Met Police officer has been stabbed in the stomach after intervening in the attempted robbery of a grocery store on Chapter Street, SW1 (off #Vauxhall Bridge Road).
Two officers witnessed two men armed with knives attempting to rob the store.
@bog_pc Being routinely armed will act as a deterrent and will be able to equip us to go to any type of incidents. We are a laughing stock worldwide for being armed with a stick and a spray 🤔👀🤐 #RoutineArming - Im tired of seeing my colleagues stabbed battered and bruised byoffenders
Agreed! I also feel that those that volunteer to do the same role should also be armed with #Taser as it have proved to be the best tool for dealing with many violent and dangerous situations! #RoutineArming @GPSCIGOwen @GPSpecials https://t.co/VWTQ1bhpx0
