Re: Armed Police
I think the Birmingham police are acting in response to the drive by shooting of those two girls last year....although the drug problem is there in Accy, I don't think the gun culture is as yet.
It is unfortunate that cops have to be armed, but then again it is an overall indicment of our society that instead of opposing crime and every misdeminour, we openly tolerate and condone it at the less serious end of the scale. At the other end that results in guns being the norm for the hard criminal fraternity.
You'll soon get used to seeing cops with guns. It is sad, but it will happen.
