The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Their equivalent swat team is obviously loaded to the fucking teeth though.
Yeah. Our gun laws are some of the strictest in the world so in a standard PC's day to day job, he/she shouldn't need to carry a firearm. So armed response all carry some kind of sub machine gun as standard, because firearms related crimes are always treated as major incidents.
I've got a few friends who are police officers (not armed). They've said that when there's any firearms related incidents, the control room goes fucking mental ie "CODE RED SCRAMBLE ARV's GO GO GO"
I remember when I was in London we saw the guards outside Downing Street and me, the ever gun/military enthusiast youngster, eagerly pointed out that they were carrying MP5s.
My mother decided "oh, let's go ask the guards themselves. My son will just love that!"
Having your mother go up to an armed police officer to ask about their automatic submachine gun in broad daylight as you stand by horrified trying to urge her to come back is one of the single most awkward experiences ever concieved.

Hot blonde police snipers!
Moat is without a doubt, batshit mental. If the police can capture him alive, i'm going to be surprised.

He's just a nutter ex bouncer, not some rogue ex special forces turned serial killer.
Because obviously the most important thing is that the police have hot female snipers.
Hot Fuzz? Was that photo taken on casual Friday?

I think they just wanted to play with all the cool stuff they aren't allowed to use most of the time.
"An RAF Tornado GR4 with a raptor pod, which has an infrared camera for surveillance purposes, was also deployed overnight."

Does Downing Street or Scotland Yard know about this? Harrumph.

It's probably not often that they can gear up and go out to show folks how badass they are.
These aren't bobbies on the beat though, these are special forces/teams.
edit: What Blake said.
police with guns are actually increasingly common now
all of the police at airports have MP5s for example
Raptor pods eh? That sounds pretty bad ass.
Launch the Raptor pods!
When I was in china there were police just hanging out with sub machine guns at a train station.
Wanted to take a photo, wasn't sure how it was going to do down though.

People here are going fucking nuts over this.

But gun crime in the UK?, that's just not cricket.

I imagine all their special forces gear is covered in a thick layer of dust in some riot room.
I know, it's bad form.
Do they come back, or is it a one-time-use raptor?
make peace with your dainty, aloof god
