    Re: Arm our officers

    Tell you what blue matt, as a little experiment, why don't you ask your cop buddies if they trust every single police officer they've ever met with a firearm?

    would it matter though ? ? ? ?

    as would you believe the answer ? ? ?

    I can ask one of them tomorrow, as we are of to starbucks for a coffee

    as a side note, the number of AR officers i know is upto 6, a " I am safe " notification popped up on my FB page from someone we do dog agility camps with, i forgot her and her husband are both Police in the Met, he is a trained AR officer, we have camped with them for 3 weeks and a few weekends ( over the last 3 years ), he seems a decent enough bloke and i would hazard a guess that he could be trusted with a gun, but i couldnt give him my " Blue matt's Golden Guarantee™ " as i dont know him that well, not like the other 5 ( one is my brother in law )

    If you trust their judgement, which you seem to do since you've done everything in this thread short of canonising them, then I see no reason why you couldn't ask them if they trust every single officer they've met with a firearm. If they're as honest as you seem to think they are, then they'll probably be giving you an answer you won't be happy with.

    You can stop vouching for individual police officers you're vaguely acquainted with by the way, I wasn't serious when I told you I needed your pass on all 125,000, and since you're clearly up for giving them all guns anyway I can say without any doubt that your judgement on these matters is compromised.

    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.

    you only had to say " it wouldnt matter as i wouldnt believe you anyway "

    so my " Blue matt's Golden Guarantee™ " is worthless then, and after you came up with such a humorous name for it, what a waste

    You already seem to be of the opinion that all 5 of them will tell you that every police officer they've ever met could be trusted with a firearm.

    You also are clearly of the opinion that every member of the police force is completely trustworthy, which is incredibly naive. Every profession on earth has its bad elements, luckily we don't give them all guns to prove it.

    Not at all

    I only said that the 5 i know i am 100 % would do the right thing with a firearm, I have never discussed other AR officers with them, never had the need to, we have in the past discussed work issues

    Not sure where you think i have said i think " that every member of the police force is completely trustworthy" ( if you can point that out, then great ), i have had a number of bad incidents with the Police

    would that officer being armed have saved his life, we can only guess it would have
    So you don't think every police officer is trustworthy and you've had a number of bad incidents with them and yet you want to give them guns.

    Does training a bad person to use a gun make them more, or less bad in your opinion?

    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.
