Why do the Police (or for that matter the Army) not have top of the line body armour, vehicles, radios and equipment in general?

The answer of course is money. There isn't an endless pit of it and priorities and compromises have to be made somewhere.

How often does this happen?

Some will say once is once too many but being realistic would you want every force to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on vehicles that would rarely be used to cover the remote possibility of this happening again?

Bloody liberal. We don't like your sort round here.
with those i would say that the police themselves can decide they don't feel safe and take action if they feel strong enough as to the army though i agree that they should have the best they know the risk they decide to join up

the dogs however don't get free choice so we have laws to protect them and there should be no difference in the application of those laws whether its the public or an organisation else it will prove impossible to prosecute anyone for it

so i do say if they cant afford the equipment then they shouldn't have the dogs

personally i think that if they are that short of money that on this if they said they needed sponsorship or charity donations to manage to use them they would easily get that money from the British public ( lol yep they most likely like the dogs more than you and you know i am not anti police )
