What was the time you visited Paris? I visited London last year and I have seen a quite some police carry MP5 around Big Ben and area (I was also in between attacks in there). On the other hand in Amsterdam where I live I have only seen police with machine guns after attacks in Paris. From what I have seen UK police usually carry no guns like outside London. In the Netherlands usually pistols. In Poland where I am from I have not seen Policeman with machine gun only military and special occasions. Shooting by the Police happen but it is like one in 3 maybe 5 years. Where in states it seems from my point of view every month at least (never been in states so it might be skewed).
