No, most of the world's police forces are routinely armed. GB is one of the few places that aren't.
Police brutality backfires!

Whilst the attack from the crowd got excessive (especially for the police officer on the ground), you can't really blame them.
You expect a certain level of professionalism from police officers and while the crowd reaction was harsh, it's things like this that keep figures of authority in line.
Now, replace those police officers with politicians and we're getting somewhere.

I've got very very little time for the police because of my previous experiences with them. I'm not proud of it, but I share the opinion that a justified little kicking now and then from the public helps to keep them in line.

Justice, cool? No just a complete load of scumbag gutless thugs having to group up in such numbers to have a go at a few police officers.

Canadian police carry sidearms as well. They all have shotguns in their cars too.

A couple of people should have just ran with batons/bats and hit the right policeman a couple of times to stop him.
Instead of everyone piling on the skin head police guy who took most of the beating but didnt seem to even strike the fan, the one who did ran off

so anyone who thinks it was ok to give him a tap with the baton should be hit with a baton because its not acceptable to go around hitting people with batons?
I like your style of thinking, "Be lenient, OR YOU'LL GET BEATEN!!"

Okay I see your point.
I was just suggesting that peoples opinions might be different if they had been hit with a baton before.
No it isn't. They are trained to use the knuckle on their middle finger to weaken the arm.
I am sure the fact that you've had experiences with the police says more about you than the police themselves.
Although now I am sure that you are going to tell us all how you were the victim or they were harassing you constantly.
Personally I've never met a bad copper yet!
Many police forces use the baton for various reasons, deadening limbs or just for leverage to help bend someone's arms.
I doubt many people on here, if any, know anything about the training the police in Portugal receive!
The one simple fact everyone needs to keep in mind about the police is this;
If ordered to do so, a policeman will use force against any member(s) of the general public to impose the governments will, even if it goes against public opinion.
Sadly, the public includes men, women & children.
They will use specialist equipment to do this, and any democratic laws around assualt / common assualt are thrown out of the window. They will (try to) hurt you.
I ask you now; in your jobs, would you allow yourself involvment in ANY situation at all where you might willfully, physically harm another person, just for a few hours pay?
Would you beat a woman to the ground for £10? -A policeman would.
