Thread: Why frontline cops should be armed

My understanding was firearms, glocks etc where carried in the cars already? Is this not enough?

One of the things I like about NZ is that cops aren't tooled up everywhere like overseas.
Think if they openly carry it will escalate to more crims arming up and having a go USA style from watching too many movies shoot-outs etc...

I'm not doing their job though, maybe in some areas could be carried at their discretion maybe if felt necessary?
