Forgetting that though - just having basic stuff like armed officers protecting parliament and it's surroundings would be something but that woman decides to never advocate for it, even once in 7 years...
I always approach this sort of suggestion with ‘what difference would it have made in the incident under discussion’? On the video, it was 8 seconds between the car crossing the central reservation until it hit the barrier, and it was only visible to the police at the barrier for 4 seconds.

In this case, I can’t see how armed officers would have made a difference?
