Arming police helicopters
It would now appear that this was not such a wild scheme as most of you thought and serious thoughts by experienced and well trained anti-terrorist agencies are in the works.
I can remember it being said that 'British police officers will never carry arms like their contempories in the USA'. Never say never!
If police officers can carry guns, with the intent to use them, then why is it unacceptable to some of you that helicopters cannot be armed for the same purpose, and be more effective.
If a situation exists where an armed helicopter would be effective then it should be used.
The MH68A Sting Ray is already heading that way or so I'm led to believe.
