How many firearms officers – they should be the only ones using them? It should not be a routine piece of kit available to everyone, they have never been used ion the mainland. How many police stations?
I ask again – what has changed that the 700 they had were not sufficient but now they needs 10 000?
Anyone who is able to think clearly and logicically can see this is disproportionate. I find it fascinating how when it police / army and guns how unquestioning some folk are of what is going on.
Well, there are 300 officers in the Met trained to use them.
That’s 33 rounds each with an extra few for training etc How does that sound ?
Not that many I wouldn’t have said.
And according to the Met they had a stockpile of Just short of 6,500 in 2009, so they are getting through them pretty fast if they only had 700 left last summer ??
So they used roughly 5800 in Less than 2.5 years.
(and that’s not taking into account what they bought in the Annual order in both those years !)
Still disproportionate. . ?
I’m just applying “simple logic and clarity of thought”
