To me it seems that having gendarmes with big guns wandering around is very third world and the civilised thing to do is have unarmed police like in Ireland. Our police are mildly corrupt, but at least they don't shoot people.

- jankotek 9y agoInstead Ireland has soldiers with assault rifles. They guard banks, shops etc... I prefer civil police.
- dmurray 9y agoThe army occasionally escort trucks full of cash. I've never seen a soldier here guarding a shop or a bank.

- psergeant 9y agoThis is not either/or. The UK has routinely unarmed police, and no soldiers on the street, instead having specialist armed police.
- Faaak 9y agoIn general gendarmes only carry a gun with them (a glock or something like that), and rarely "big guns" as you put it. They also don't go around shooting people.
