Cressida Dick / Armed Police Officers

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

I read this in a Wall Street Journal article:

“I don’t think the public in this country want to live in a place where we are all armed to the teeth,” she told the British Broadcasting Corp. on Monday.

********************************************************************

London’s police chief, Cressida Dick, needs to wake up and face reality. There is a war between radical Islam and civilized people. The war has come to her backyard. The politicians know what’s best for them: they are surrounded by armed police. Give your urban, tax-paying community that same protection! Arm your police so they’ll be ready to respond to the next attack!

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

This is a political issue both in Ireland or the UK, there’s a long tradition of policing based on moral authority without force of arms (drawing on the Peel Principles).

I’m not sure what way to stand on it as we’ve kind of grown used to wanting that to be true and that the use of specialist armed response units in every policing district is adequate. So much so that people don’t want even tasers added to the standard cop’s equipment of an 21′ ASP baton and Pepper Spray.

It’s a non-issue in the larger cities but it’s a problem in the smaller cities, large towns and rural areas as the response times are hugely increased by geographical distances.

Plus liberals and SJWs(like those in Labour – 2nd largest party) actually still harbour calls for “police abolition” even in the wake of this latest wave of attacks.

To English elite, Islamic people are the new Normans. All commoners should bend over, and open both cheeks. The commoners wouldn’t have it any other way. So says Cressida Dicks in bum.
