So a discreet glock on the hip or a yellow taser is bad but a soldier in full gear is good. Has the Home Secretary been at the chancellors secret stash?

Will the army have the same rules of engagement as the Police or be subject to murder trials ten years after any shootings? And how quickly could they be deployed in the event of an attack?

Anyway I thought the Police had enough resources to cope already and could cope with further cuts so why would the army be needed.
