You can't be that ignorant!! Last time I visited Great Britain, none of their officers are armed!!! Gun control are so tight in that nation, it literally is a police state. British police come armed only when there are armed gunmen/woman involved and that is bit rare in a nation that got super strict gun control where even the police are not armed!! Japan on the other side of Euro-Asia continent, also got super strict gun control where owning a gun is like owning the Hope's Diamond!! You sound like a spoiled American who never left the country. You got no idea what a "police state" really is.......why not fly to Japan and diss one of their cops....see how far that will get you!! By the time you get back home here, you will really know how to "bow" politely to authority figures!!!
