The level of serious violence in the UK has not reached anywhere near the level that all UK police need to be armed.
If you actually ever came here, you’d see the UK is still a safe country to live in. Yes, people gets beaten, murdered, raped. BUT the UK is a good country and a safe country to live in. Far safer frankly than the US.
Does America being armed to the teeth make America safer?. No.
BTW, this ‘socialist suckup’ is a gun owning, pro-gun, anti-gun law conservative and spent seven years in the armed forces. This ‘socialist’ also supports more armed police units and more firearms training for UK police, even all police being trained in firearm use. I simply do not support all UK police being armed.
Honestly, I really dont care what you think of the UK. Clean up your own violent pigsty first and then criticise.
Being lectured on violence by Americans is like being lectured on paedophilia by Roman Polanski.
one of the best things about this site is when conservatives share experience and knowledge it makes us all smarter/better people. One of the worst things about this site is when people decide they know other people’s experiences better than the people with boots actually on the ground, living the stuff. You’ve been hassled by that type a lot lately; sorry to see it. But thanks for sharing your insight.
Does not being armed tot he teeth make the UK free'er? No, you guys are socialist, heading towards full on communism with a Muzzie twist.
Being armed "to the teeth" certainly makes ME safer.
According to the stats at the links below one would be almost twice as likely to be a victim of a crime in LONDON than in CHICAGO. wow!

I’m Canadian Mr Scotsman, and I was a soldier for 10 years, I’ve been places too as well as there, and all over the US. Granted I wouldn’t feel safe in a few places in the US ( where they have strict gun laws), I would feel far far safer in many places in the US over the UK hands down.
I don’t care if you want to arm your police or not, that’s not the issue here, the issue is when are real men like yourself going to stand up in numbers and say enough is enough and take your country back. You folks have a long history of resisting tyranny, what in God’s name happened?
>>Does America being armed to the teeth make America safer?. No.
An armed devout Christian makes any neighborhood a safer place to live, for Christians and non Christians.
An armed Democrat very often has the opposite effect.
