    The Real Reason British Police Aren’t Armed Will Shock You

    The murder of an unarmed police officer in Parliament last month has sparked a debate about why British cops don’t routinely carry guns. Shockingly, the main reason police are unarmed is because the officers refuse to carry guns. They have a sensible reason for not wanting guns, but it’s depressing. Every time someone is shot by the police in the UK, the case is referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). In practice, this means the officer is investigate

    5,000 Police Attend Funeral of Murdered Parliament Guard

    Around 5,000 serving police officers and 50,000 members of the public lined the route from the Palace of Westminster to Southwark Cathedral for the funeral of PC Keith Palmer.

    Today’s terror attack at the Palace of Westminster has sent shockwaves through the British political establishment because a knife-wielding terrorist was able to penetrate ‘tough’ security. When I say tough let me clarify what I mean: every gate is guarded by at least ONE UNARMED police officer. The police constables are sometimes (but not always) assisted by yet more unarmed security guards from the Metropolitan Police P Division (Parliamentary Police). Behind the scenes, Me
