even carry a firearm. I think it's something like 2500 licensed officers out of around 34,000 officers for London.

They do have what's known as "armed response units" and those units are specially trained.

Such a different concept of the use of firearms than in the U.S.

I haven't seen any estimates of how many Iranians have been killed during this Israeli-US attack.

Allegedly the US has lost 6? 6? Still? Something tells me there has been more, but would we get the truth from this kleptocratic administration?
