Try actually reading what I wrote - did I actually advocate whole scale arming of the Police? No I didn't, did I? I simply said that I wouldn't be bothered if they were armed. Try taking your head out of your arse, you'll be able to read more clearly... :
As I see it those two WPC's were just normal police officers going about their duty, so by reading what you wrote then yes you did advocate whole scale arming of the Police.

As for police states I would put USA as well on it's way to becoming one.
As for heads and arses you're a fine one to talk ;D
