When we had an armed raid this way in the town there were so many armed police officers, I didn't know we had so many police let alone armed Police.

It would now seem Cregan shot the wrong person and then took the father out. Having to deal with guns is bad but now they are throwing grenades.

Did they not hold a firearms ticket that not all officers would hold? My brother in law held a firearms ticket in the Met but never had cause to hold or use a gun in service.
