Arm our officers

[Croesy Blue]

Are rural areas ever going to be targeted by terrorists? Rarely id say, it's not a threat worth arming every police officer.

How are we affording this anyway with cuts already being made to the police? If security is such a big concern why are areas like the police being cut?

why wouldnt rural area's be targeted, they would have longer to carry out these " low tech attacks " yes sure, they havent been so far ( excluding Michael Ryan in the 80's, maybe more, but his name springs to mind ) , but who knows

as for police cuts and funding, of course we need more funding for them, maybe if we upped a tax for the richer section of society
maybe thats a issue to take up with your local MP

Paper boys need to be armed, or at the very least the old guy in Spar.
