"I’d like to know what percentage of the police force is armed with weapons with live ammo."

I know from a series I saw on the London Metropolitan Police, they have roving vehicles with armed officers that can respond to emergency calls. In fact, the second season of the series titled The Met: Policing London (BBC production) just started airing last week.

Here is the brave NY Times reporting on Twitter (Twits on Twitter), unable to "suggest a motive" for the "incident" (cause by a "van" and not by a terrorist, of course):

New York Times:

London Bridge Shut Down After Van Hits Pedestrians

"The police said that they were dealing with a major incident on the bridge but that it was too early to suggest a motive."

Crazy to think that only specialized groups/certain police vehicles are armed, isn’t it?

Thank God our dear LEO’s are ALL armed.

Thank God Hillary/leftists are NOT POTUS.
