Uk is paying 1 million Euros to the family of the "terrorist" killed by armed police...

That's pretty cheap actually. I think the U.S. values an innocent life at $2M.

Still, the guy ran from police, and onto a train, a known terror target. Not too bright.

Do you know, how much was paid (in LA) for the 19-month-old Suzie Pena (killed in July) and 13-year-old Devin Brown (killed in February)?

I thought the story of Suzie Pena was very sad - sad that she had to live with a psychopath father who would intentionally put her in harms way.

What's also really sad is that you focus on news that involves accidental death by firearms. May I ask if you know any statistics on death by driving? Drinking? Doing drugs or putting other intoxicating poisons in people's bodies? Or even going to the doctor? It's far more dangerous than guns have ever proven to be. You take stupid people, let them do stupid things, then throw a gun in the mix, and suddenly it's the gun's fault. Right.

Back to my original point. Unarmed police are nothing more than traffic pylons.

Um, Walter, they want to kill you. You either kill them first or meet your maker. Get it?

Cj,

I guess I have to agree with you on this one, seeing as the murder rate in the US is so much lower than murder rates in Great Britain and other countries with restrictive gun laws.

If you care about your safety, you should move to Florida or Texas.

ebrown, do you think it wise to try to arrest someone who's making bombs armed only with a stick?

Of course not, we should shoot them on sight before they even start.

Why would someone who is making bombs only have a stick?

Serious need for clarification here.

Unarmed police - police historically have armed only in response to an armed population. Orignally New York City police officers were armed only with a stick. They were given firearms to put them on an equal footing with armed offenders. The US is an armed nation, ergo police wear firearms. New Zealand is not an armed nation, ergo police don't wear firearms.

UK (England/Wales/Scotland) Police and terrorists - those police who are specifically tasked with hunting terror suspects are armed - to the teeth. Police who are tasked with guarding critical infrastructure sites are also armed. Police who are on normal duties, who are working amongst an unarmed populus are not armed as a matter of course.

Lol - good luck, GF.

When it comes to guns, cjhsa never lets reality get in the way of a good hissy fit.

I'd be willing to bet that none of you would ever consider carrying a gun for your own protection. Am I right?
