It is the police not the army who keep the peace on the streets. We do not yet live in a military state, except in states of emergency as declared by the government of the day.
My cousin is a Brit. He studied criminology & what not and did all the studies to become an inspector for Scotland Yard. He was really into it and wanted to be a cop from very small. Once he did a training in situation & found out what it was about, he quit his dream and has done nothing since then.
The police only serve their masters. Period.

In view of the tragic events which has taken place in Paris, and just how things are in the world today, do members think that OUR Police should now patrol our streets armed?.

Legalize gun carrying. Who trusts the police anyway?

Well in the past 50 years, “we” have certainly done everything in our power to ensure that something like this would happen, and would lead to something even uglier in the future.
I for one believe it was not done by accident.

But why? The UAEAF has the most advanced F-16s going, Mirage 2000-9’s, and a very sweet budget. They could buy whatever they want (except the F-22 and the F-35). Why an armed crop duster?
Because daesh doesn’t have access to fighter pilot training?

Scratch saudi arabia, the US should be on top of the list.

Flase flag 101:
When you make a false flag you do it before your ally comes to the rescue to try to get them involved (like Israel did with their bombing of the USS Liberty & trying to blaming it on Syria); you don’t do it afterwards when your ally is already involved.

The contractor makes profit from building jets, not flight testing. Why would a corporation want to make 5% profit for a test program when it could be making 8% profit selling jets at full production rate? In fact, a large percentage of the contractor’s engineering staff is laid off when flight testing begins, so the contractor’s profit made during testing is based on the limited man hours of the contractor test team – orders of magnitude less than selling jets at full rate (i.e. not only is the profit percentage greater during FRP, but the basis for profit is orders of magnitude larger during FRP than during flight testing).
So that’s why they decided producing production aircrafts while the testing wasn’t done yet? No wonder lockmart invented concurrency.
The cost evaluation performed by the government did not properly reward the contractors’ proposals to break the upward-spiraling historical cost curves of defense acquisitions
Says lockheed, the maker of the F35…
Ludicrous.
Note that the Saudi state has internal opponents who wish to set up something worse, along the lines of Daesh, with the reintroduction of slavery, etc., & who’ve tried starting armed rebellions.
So what did Khadaffi’s opponents do? What does daesh want to do in Syria?

So what if it only takes 20 years for radar technology to progress enough to be able to detect the F35 at useful range? (no right now it can’t, right?)

Replying to myself, it better not be since…
“F-18Es and Fs are the majority of our force going to 2035,” says Manazir. “We might even fly those airplanes close to 2040.”
Says the USN: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/usn-to-continue-buying-boeing-super-hornets-as-f-35c-418626/
SHs are the majority of the USN force for the next 20 years…
Here’s a small example of where we were, technologically speaking, in 1995 (yes just 20 years ago)

Just watch a recent video game preview to realize that the F35 will be seen from a bazillion miles away in 20 years.
