I don't see the police as being very militarised here
The two Brit cops I talked to in Canterbury were very nice people. I'll go out on a limb and say I don't believe they deserved to be murdered.
British cops are probably among the nicest ones in Europe. I've mostly heard good things of them. And like I said in a previous post I find it sympathetic that they usually patrol unarmed. If a country has such an anti-gun policy as the UK, it's a nice thing that the authorities as much as possible don't have double standards.
You have to ask yourself if, in war, there is any such thing as murder.
sorry: had to edit a bit.
(I could be convinced that the faggot British cops are not the problem, however. It is the notion within the citizenry of being owed a specific lifestyle by a monarchy that must be shot to death)
