| Message | If we're going to create civilian policemen without military training then we need to disarm them first! |

| Message | Not necessarily. We can still have military training for them in terms of how to use their equipment. This just puts a clear demarcation between the two roles. |

| Message | The war veterans and serving members of the armed forces in the Defenders are entirely against any arming of a civilian police force. Armed responses should remain the jurisdiction of the army. |
