Arm our officers

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

I naturally trust my own judgement better than yours and having encountered a number of police officers in my years I can say I wouldn't trust 50% of them with spud guns.

How can you judge "50%" of 125000 police officers unless you know them all?

I can't. Which is why I said wouldn't trust 50% of the ones I encountered in the very post you quoted, you daft tart.

Besides, just giving ONE bad person a gun would make the whole thing a bad idea.

You should have said you don't trust 50% of the ones you encountered. You came across as some sort of paranoid tart.

That is what I said. I suppose I just didn't account for people with such poor reading comprehension to be lurking around.

And at least have the originality to come up with a different insult than the one I used for you.

So let's get this right how many of the 125000 police officers don't you trust?

I'll let you know once I've encountered them all.

How many have you encoutered?

I don't have an exact figure for you Tandy, why don't you just save us some bother and tell us where you're going with this line of questioning, assuming there is a point to it.

It might have been useful to question this (supposed lone-wolf) apparent 'terrorist'. It might not have been that useful. Or it might just have been possible to glean something that saves other lives in other potential incidents further down the line.
TBH, I'm not convinced on this occasion - but we will never know now.

Some Police need to be armed, in some locations / situations.

More generally, perhaps some investment / research / training in way more efficient instant stun weapons might be better than creating a mini USA (no thanks).
