Flushed? Check.
Wash hands? Check.
Apply lipstick in mirror? Check.
Remeber to take fully loaded Glock 17… :smack:
PC Danny Butterman on patrol again, I see?
I thought they weren’t allowed to carry guns in England, though. Just nightsticks?
Some police officers in the UK are authorised to carry and use firearms.
They’re just not authorised to leave them on top of the cistern.
That is one lucky police officer, although she may not be thinking that at this moment. That gun could have ended up in the hands of anyone, and her silly mistake would be a career threatening one.
I considerably hope this does threaten her career.
Here it would just go into the lost and found box.
Cor Blimey! Well they’re fairly well armed up north. I doubt they leave their guns lying around though. (Hijackulating anecdote alert) I remember coming down from the north a few years ago and I really noticed one of the main differences between north and south. There was a diversion because of an accident coming out of Aughnacloy, a border town, heading south. The PSNI (Northern Irish Police) guys diverting traffic were armed, and visibly so. They looked a bit tense too. When we got to the southern part of the diversion there were two Gardaí (Republic Of Ireland cops) sitting nonchalantly, drinking coffee or eating breakfast rolls. The contrast was quite stark.
They are just trying to follow Detroit’s lead.
It’s not going to look good on his CV, is it? 
Because…?
Roto-rooter uses snakes instead…?
“Call Roto-Rooter! That’s the name. No need for Glocks on your drain…”
To expand on this: every police force in the country has a firearms unit. How they are used depends on the local circumstances - in areas with problems with gun crime, there’ll be armed response vehicles on patrol on a routine basis, although to the general public they mostly appear to be just another police vehicle. Plus, of course, there’s the specialist officers assigned to protection of senior politicians, royalty, etc etc.
The important principle which has never changed, and which the police themselves overwhelmingly want to stick to, is that the normal policeman on patrol is unarmed.
