    People are being snarky and probably misunderstand what you’re trying to ask. I presume you aren’t aware that normal, on-patrol British police do not carry firearms. There are dedicated teams of British armed police on-standby and only respond when they’re called upon on extreme situations.

      yeah I think I went on a bit too much in my original comment, just genuinely wanted to know more details, I wasn’t trying make some big statement. thanks for this info I didn’t know that about British police
