Just to correct you on firearms. Police officers in Australia are generally issues firearms (semi-automatic pistols).

  I thought British police mostly don't carry firearms.

    They don’t, but Australia is not part of Britain, so different rules may apply.

      I think it's funny that people are so focused in correcting him about Australia that they miss the point of his argument.

    Same with police in New Zealand. It's part of the Peelian Principles and policing by consent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles
