anyway, in the UK, only the special armed police have weapons. Normal police officers dont carry weapons. I think it is all to do with making sure people are all calm. Even in tough situations, officers here always prefer to use non-lethal weapons. There is a complete handgun ban here, and the only weapons you ever see are for hunting, as nath said.
