OMG, so that officer tackled a machete/knufe wielding perp because the officer had no other way to stop the perp. God bless that officer. WTH is wrong with the UK that it doesn’t trust its law enforcement enough to arm them properly.

Perhaps someone more in the know will correct me if I’m wrong. But it’s my understanding that for centuries the British police and British criminals had an informal understanding: I won’t carry weapons if you won’t.
That agreement is obviously outdated. Islamists are now using easily-available knives and cars as weapons.
One would think an unarmed officer would at least be well trained in disarming techniques.
“WTH is wrong with the UK that it doesn’t trust its law enforcement enough to arm them properly.?”
The same thing that allows in hordes of Muslims.
