No, largely harmless in this country. Unlike most other countries, most of our police officers do not carry guns. Hope it stays that way. Sadly, terrorism has changed things. The old British Bobby used to carry a truncheon – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baton_(law_enforcement) – so the worst that could happen was a bonk on the head if you committed a misdeed!
Wow. All of our police from state to state pack heat. I could buy a pistol here and walk into a store with it in a holster in full public view, legally! In some states that is.
Not here and armed police only seen at places like airports. The police you see on the street are not armed although I think they carry pepper spray and maybe tasers these days. Not sure if they still carry the big stick!
They’ve busted some older women? 😎
