All police to be armed

After events over recent years, all police should be modernised to carry (at minimum and not limited to) a sidearm, for example the parliament attack, unarmed police are not only unable to protect the public but also unable to defend themselves. If all police were armed with a minimum measure of a sidearm, more lives could have been saved.

Why is this important?

Because in todays society we live under constant threat, as such we should step up so that we can adequately deal with any situation which may arise. It is a basic human right to have an ability for self preservation, and as such we rely upon our police service to protect us to that end. If the police cannot protect themselves then they cannot protect the people and then everyone is under threat from attack. This measure would alleviate the issue and would also bring us in line with the rest of the world.
