Suggestion - Allow Police to use M4

In England, the average police officer doesn't even have a gun (They usually have: A baton, cs spray and some cuffs.)

Lets face the facts… that is the least effective way to stop crime.

If one of those officers came into a situation where he was facing an armed robbery, there is nothing he can do. The guy is not going to run up and pepperspray the guy in the eyes.

In America, we deal with real criminals, therefore our officers are more armed.

Having officers with M4's is NOT OVERPOWERED. Compare it to the fact that criminals have access to many more weapons that the police cannot use, and that could easily overpower any officer alone.

-Galil
-AWP
-Tranq Sniper
-AK47
-AUG

There are many more weapons that non-government can use, and can easily take on any police challenge at the moment. Another thing to consider is the fact that not every cop will use an m4.

SRU is a highly armed tactical team that should not be called for backup in routine house searches, or even small police raids. The police should be able to handle the normal situation, but are currently subjected to overpowered criminal groups. Criminals have the ability to use kevlar, and better weapons.

America, America, America. FL is not just american, let's compare it to most of the police units - they use MP5 and other sub-machine guns in such situations, and they DO call for reinforcements (special forces for high risk situations or just other heavily armed police forces, which are NOT standard issue police officers).

In America, we deal with real criminals

Oh too bad. We have a paradise in Europe though, criminals are walking with water pistols and you can count them with fingers of one hand. But seriously: In Europe, specific countries, we deal with real criminals aswell and it's not like there is more crime in America (not sure if you talk about whole continent or just one country, which is called United States of America) than in other continents/countries.

"BOA (Bureau of counter-terrorism operations) is a Polish elite anti-terrorist unit dedicated to combating organized crime and in making the arrests to the Central Bureau of Investigation and other Polish non-governmental agencies' own anti-terrorist subdivisions".

As you can see on the video THEY are using weapons like M4, even MP5.

That's why i would like to keep the NORMAL police officers away from M4. There is alot of government RP, a citizen with specific custom job can work for it and help the police.

criminals have access to many more weapons that the police cannot use, and that could easily overpower any officer alone.

I see no problem with MP5, it's a really good weapon and i outperformed M4 with it not just once. As i said, if you are in a high risk situation, you call for a Special Service Unit, i see no benefits in giving the ability for police to use M4, limiting RP of other jobs isn't one.

Criminals have the ability to use kevlar

Yes, they have the ability to use kevlar which they must buy, while you have it for free, everytime you die.

The police should be able to handle the normal situation, but are currently subjected to [b]overpowered criminal groups.

If specific criminal group is heavily armed, i doubt it's a normal situation, it's high risk one, situation when SRU should be called.
