Ok i have to post this, this is based on an event in the US which essentialy mandated their police cruisers to be equiped with heavier weapons
"Local patrol officers at the time were typically armed with their standard issue 9 mm or .38 Special pistols, with some having a 12-gauge shotgun available in their cars. Phillips and Mătăsăreanu carried illegally modified fully automatic Norinco Type 56 S-1s, a Bushmaster XM15 Dissipator, and a HK-91 rifle with high capacity drum magazines and ammunition capable of penetrating vehicles and police Kevlar vests. The bank robbers wore body armor which successfully deflected bullets and shotgun shells fired by the responding patrolmen. SWAT eventually arrived bearing sufficient firepower, and they commandeered an armored truck to evacuate the wounded. Several officers also appropriated AR-15 rifles from a nearby firearms dealer. The incident sparked debate on the need for patrol officers to upgrade their capabilities in similar situations in the future.[4]
Due to the large number of injuries, rounds fired, weapons used, and overall length of the shootout, it is regarded as one of the longest and bloodiest events in American police history.
Both robbers were killed, eleven police officers and seven civilians were injured, and numerous vehicles and other property were damaged or destroyed by the nearly 2,000 rounds of ammunition fired by the robbers and police."
Can anyone seriously say this is not the situation in 95% of firefights on FL when it come to the police Vs any criminal element, even the smallest mugger?
Is there any real logical reason not to equip the government better? Their supposed to be a threat during any situation, the police hold down the fort while the better trained officers are deployed, though right now they cant even hold the fort as they cannot even equip a weapon that can make them a viable threat when it turns out the suspect has something more deadly than a pistol. Today alone i saw over 10 officers get gunned down while trying to cordon off the corlone suburbs on 33x. They have 0 chance against a group of 5 corlones armed with the most powerfull weapon on FL, the tommy gun. Even a full SRU team would have trouble with this kind of force due to their class restrictions.
+Support
They need the option to be able to equip a heavier type of firearm when the situation calls for it, perhaps a rule stateing they cannot use the weapon unless the police SGT or President orders it
