The UK is living a dream, but from discussions with a couple of police 
officers, they live a nightmare.

According to a friend, every year their union votes on whether they 
should want guns, and every year the vote is higher.

They are risking their lives and are ordered to run if confronted with 
guns. That seems to not be a winning strategy.

A while back I said I can't imagine a country where cops did not have 
weapons, and that it's insane. Drsolly replied he couldn't imagine one 
where they did, as that would be insane. Is is still insane?
