Are you claiming that these "special units" are not police officers?

I think he's claiming that they are specially trained units rather than
just PC Plod like in the USA.

He's doing no such thing, he's doing the usual Drivel tactic of talking
crap and being too stupid to admit that he made a mistake. He certainly
has not argued that these are "specially trained units" as you allege.

Are you arguing that US police officers have no weapons training? Are
you claiming that the UK training is somehow infinitely superior to the
US training?

You're wrong on both counts if you are.

And both of you are wrong if you think that police officers don't go
onto British streets, armed, on a regular basis.
