We don't have them, even the police are not armed here.

That is of course ********, as the family of Jean Charles de Menezes
will testify.

The police are NOT armed look at them in the streets. If there are guns
involved in a situation the armed response team will be called. Special
units.

And properly trained unlike in America.

de Menezez wasn't shot because we have special armed police, he was shot because
of a failure in 'intelligence'.
