Scottish Gov to stop routinely arming police officers

We the public, want the Scottish Government to keep armed officers off our streets unless an incident requires an armed unit of the Police force.

Why is this important?

Despite gun crime being at a 34 yr low, officers are now being armed as a matter of routine, I for one don't see the logic in that. It would seem that the Police Scotland Chief Constable and the Secretary for Justice have over-stepped their remit by not putting this to a parliamentary debate. And we the public have not been consulted. Democracy ?
