The local late night news was about 3 policemen who were injured, one seriously, by a knife-wielding man. The attacker was shot in the leg and eventually caught, most probably by their backup. What I found interesting was that these policemen tried to defend themselves with their batons, I think none of them were carrying guns at that time. Most policemen here do not carry guns, and it was just recently that some units started being issued a sidearm. Ang town patrols dito, you see one or 2 police on bicycles! Sa Manila naman ang pulis patrol, nakasakay sa kotse, kita mo yung shotgun sa loob, deterrent talaga pero, gaano ka-efficient sila sa crime prevention?
Imagine, pulis na walang baril! I think sa UK ganito pa rin sila pero dahil sa terrorist attacks dun eh they had to arm themselves, well I heard not all of them carry guns, still. Pero sa Pilipinas, kahit hindi pulis, nag pupulis-pulisan o kaya feeling cowboy/girl sila.
