Closed To arm all police officers with handguns

Closed on

I believe all police officers should be armed with handguns for officers protection. Over the last 2 years terror attacks have become increasingly regular and some could have been stopped with a simple shot from an officer. It will add security to the job of law enforcement and act as a deterrent

In America it has been seen that police can be attacked and that a handgun can prevent that. It can also bring an end to criminal situations much faster.
