Think that will work?
Nope. Just ask the Brits how well that’s worked. Now they quietly have roving vans full of SWAT teams replete with full-auto submachine guns to try to back up the ‘unarmed’ officers (who are often concealing a pistol in many areas to preserve the unarmed fiction).
The Brits have had their share of problems with their overzealous ‘Armed Response Teams’ going way overboard too - and more regularly than here.
