Indeed they could, fact is you'd want the first copper arriving to be armed.

This current situation means that if the nearest OB to such an attack were unarmed, which they invariably will be, that they either attend the incident with what they have( pepper spray and a stick) and end up seriously injured or dead.

Or they standby for armed response which could take some time, all the while members of the public are being attacked.

They are ****ed either way.
They would love to grab a police officer And the police know this! Any officer who wears the uniform and is unarmed is very brave!

I’m ****ing angry about this. Yes, ‘we’ can’t prevent every attack from happening but it’s FACT that nearly 20,000 officers have been axed, circa 1,000 Border Agency Staff ,who could check those coming in and out better, have lost their jobs, we’ve had cuts to intelligence services, emergency services – essentially everything that protects us etc etc

We’ve had warnings from the police and defence experts about the consequences of these cuts for years – anyone, please do a quick online search for proof.

Has to be said, those police/emergency services involved seem to be doing a stellar job – but they’re only human and God forbid multiple attacks at the same time.

First copper on scene last night actually tried to stop the 3 of them. Got badly stabbed. Take my hat off . Did his duty and more
 
We (British) didn't create radicalism but we've done one hell of a lot, over decades, to encourage it, by our actions and our inactions, at home and abroad. And we continue to do so. Our politicians over the decades have a lot to answer for.
It's of course a complex problem, but there have always been simple actions this country could and should have taken.
Now we reap what we have sown.

Rubbish.
One part of one religion is waging an ideological war on the West. They regard Europe and the West as 'crusader' Christian lands and therefore the enemy of Allah. That's why Sweden is attacked as well as France, Britain, Spain, Germany etc.
Our foreign policy, our colonial history, the social disadvantage of some Muslims are an irrelevance.
These terrorists are not out for revenge, they are doing it for Allah and striking against his 'enemies' and our decadent unislamic lifestyle.
They're not bothered if we're 'divided' or not, 'standing strong' or 'fighting back with hashtags' - they hate what they see as our debauched, corrupt, unislamic way of life, and want to replace it with a European caliphate.
We can't keep our heads in the sand forever.

The 'they' you write about is not Islam; rather, it is a perversion of what I understand to be a religion of peace (no - I'm not the slighteat bit religious).

The conditions of chaos in the Middle East and South Asia have proved a fertile breeding ground for these fanatics.
