| Message | I envision the police having kevlar helmets, flak jackets, assault rifles and tear gas grenades :D |

| Message | Are the dorvic streets so dangerous to equip ALL police with military grade, extremely expensive weapons? Maybe some special intervensions squads, but I don't think police officers in an asscrack town where stealing potatoes is the most serious offence allow for kevlar armor. |

| Message | I'm sure the electorate appreciate being called an 'asscrack town'. Of course highly armed police are necessary, they will deter potato thieves. Never again do Dorvikians have to hide their potatoes from criminals! |

| Message | Why not give them nukes. |

| Message | I do think police should have access to military grade equipment, but it shouldn't be standard. Sidearms work well enough most of the time, especially considering the populace is now armed to the teeth. :) |
