The Metropolitan Police’s violent crime tackling Flying Squad are reportedly having their guns taken away in a money-saving move for the force.
Detectives from the unit are said to be ‘devastated’ by the decision – having battled for the last year to keep the weapons.
Barry Phillips, a member of the Flying Squad Association of past and present officers, said armed robbers ‘will be laughing their socks off’ at the thought of unarmed officers trying to stop them.
Huh?
