I think cops will misuse it to fix up their own battles..
no.
There are loads of other reasons y it's a bad idea i jus gave 1.
guns might end up in some kids hands or some crazy person who probbaly will go round shooting innoncent ppl on the streets. Thats what i meant it might end up in wrong hands, although it' not safe in the coppers hand as well.

True like all police in the USA Texas cops are armed.
Texas is a little unique from the most other states as most of the citizens are also armed. a citizen over the age of 21 with no criminal record or known to be violent can obtain a concealed weapon permit and can carry a hidden weapon.
The crime rate is very high in Dallas, Houston and San Antonia. Oddly those are the cities that have local restrictions about firearm possession. In those cities the local police are also restricted as to what, when and where they can be armed and what type of weapon they can be armed with. In the remainder of the State where the police have no weapon restrictions, the crime rate is much lower than the national average.
What I find interesting about Texas is up through the 1960s Texas had very few firearms restrictions and crime rates were low. In the 1970s through the mid 1990s numerous restrictions were put in place and crime rates soared to very high rates.
In the late 1990s many of the firearms restrictions were removed. It was in this time that for the first time in Texas history the carrying of concealed weapons was legalized. Texas is once again enjoying a decrease in crime.

Woah, How do you sleep at night, jazakAllah khair bro, nuff respect mate
Now to put you down as a reference, Hmm.. Well i can use the link, maybe I could put you down as 'brother in Islam' lol
Do cops use stun-guns? I think they might be called tazers in US
there is a difference between a stun gun and a Tazer. A tazer shoots 2 darts connected to wires that carry an electric current. The darts are barbed and embed into the person. The stun gun is essentially a small cattle prod and requires direct contact with the person. They require physical hand-to-hand confrontations to be used. Most police here do carry stun guns, in the even they are in a hand-to-hand situation with an assailant they can not physically subdue by body strength. I do not know of any Texas localities where they use Tazers.
the police in UK, only have another coppy with them
in pakistan they have wooden sticks, its like after their duty in the station, they gona do some farming pssshh
personally i think in the streets, police should have some sort of baton or somethin, and in the high security need places have a bazooka or just be simple and have a gun
Jaa-Ro-Nee-Mo!!!
"they ask you when will the help of Allah (swt) come! Certainly Allah (Swt) help is always near"
Bad move . British police are unarmed unless they need a rapid reaction force.
Crime here is not too bad.
I think it's a country specific thing. US cops and Iraqi Cops need to be armed. Icelandic Police ....not so much.

Peace mercy and blessings be upon those who follow guidance/AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

It isn't just Texas. I would say half if not more of the American population owns a firearm of one form or another. It is our constitutional right, and many, many people take advantage of that.
With a population as well armed as those in the U.S., it wouldn't make much sense for our police forces to be unarmed.
"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is."
Or in countries where every family has a assault rifle, like Somalia or Iraq or The Sudan or Switzerland.

I was gonna ask what that was^^, it's a place then i guess..
I don't blame the cops for having guns in those places, I feel sorry for them and the people living there..
What do you lot think of pepper spray and batons? I mean everything that you give to the cops can be abused right?
Anything can be abused. I believe if you read many allegations of abuse by police, you will find abuse by firearms is very rare. The most common abuses are done by bare hands. To a trained person their hands are deadlier than a gun. They don't miss and they don't run out of ammonition.

Evrything you give to the police can be abused. It depends very much on your police.
I asked a Kenyn once "Whats the best thing about Kenya?" Expecting them to say, "The scenery, the Music etc". They said "It dosnt cost much to bribe the police"
