So, they will wait till a lot more officers die before thinking about
arming them properly? Typical.

No wonder they don't eat doughnuts. They are too busy looking for
the perp who is going to kill them while they are not permitted to
protect themselves. They are so nervous they can't hold on to a nice,
big doughnuts and cup of hot coffee without dropping the doughnuts and
getting coffee all over their uniforms.

and what was that i heard on the news.... supermarkets were robbed
of their guns by looters...... supermarkets sell guns ???? what sort of
crazy **** is that??


I have NEVER seen any guns or ammunition for sale in any supermarket
in any state that I have been in. That is as stupid as a gun store
selling doughnuts.

On the other hand, some Wal-Mart department stores do sell guns and
their super stores do sell food, but that still isn't a "Supermarket
selling guns" and several Wal-Mart stores were looted in New Orleans.


youll be giving them away free with every box of bran flakes next ;o)
No, breakfast cereal here is too cheap for them to be able to do that.
Maybe they will let you collect 500 box tops and get a box of bullets,
someday. I did heard about the salesman throwing in a free gun rack when
someone bought a new pickup truck. ;-)

LOL, the british police are armed, we have special armed forces that are
normally used in terrorist or gun related crimes but no.. the average PC
plod has his telescopic baton (oooh err matron) handcuffs (Kinky) and a can
of CS spray which he is a bit worried about using in case he gets sued...The
donut reference i think is solely a US thing as ours eat a nice bacon sarnie
while pounding the beat with children mocking them.
Mind you, that said most of our traffic police are being replaced by Gatso
cameras to make huge amounts of revenue from the poor sods who dare go a
couple of miles over a far too slow speed limit... but thats another
gripe....
