More and more U.K. police are finding themselves outgunned, reports CNN. Recently an officer was shot and killed while trying to arrest a car thief. Since he was unarmed, the officer had no way to defend himself.

There are growing calls in the UK for all police to carry guns after an unarmed officer was shot dead. [...]

Norman Brennan, Director of Protect the Protectors pressure group, said: "Gun crime has become a cancer on society and we cannot allow it to be terminal.

"Unarmed officers are sitting ducks when trying to tackle the increased gun crime in this country that is out of control."

While I respect the tough job of those in law enforcement, I cannot help but question these people that claim that officers should be armed in the interest of their own safety, but law abiding citizens should not. So the streets of England are so rough that officers need to be armed, but regular folks are fair game for the armed thugs that plague British streets.

I say fuck 'em. If they don't want citizens to be armed, then they shouldn't be armed either. What's good for the goose is just as good for the police officer. Let them see what it's like to always be looking over your shoulder and worrying if that oversized thug with the beady eyes is going to thump you on the head or not.
