note: I just want to be clear. I'm in no way anti-police. I find arming police in the UK ironic, since from what I've gathered police/peace keepers do not regularly carry firearms.About 20 officers from the Metropolitan Police's CO19 branch, the English equivalent of American SWAT Teams, will increasingly patrol "no go" zones where rival Turkish gangs have engaged in violent shootouts recently. The officers, some on motorbikes, will conduct weapon sweeps on individuals.
