From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Police Rearminization Act | | Message | If police need military grade weapons for a particular issue, they can work together with the military. Such cooperation is already in the law. |

From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Police Rearminization Act | | Message | So we should just allow the gangs to run amuck among the populace with heavier weapons than what the cops carry? |

From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Police Rearminization Act | | Message | If the police need help dealing with gangs, they can call in the military. For all other matters, police officers don't need such weapons. |

From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Police Rearminization Act | | Message | The military need not be called for stopping gangs. They are only supposed to be used if things are going to hell in a handbasket. The fact that you want the military to stop everything shows that it is you who wants a dictatorship. |

From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Police Rearminization Act | | Message | Then what if gangs upgrade their weapons again, and then the police, and then the gangs again, and the police.. We don't need the local around-the-block copper to dress up like some kind of robocop |
| Date | 16:45:57, November 16, 2007 CET |
From | Red Hammer Council | To | Debating the Police Rearminization Act | | Message | Opposed. Our party believes that there should be a clear difference between the military and the police force. There is no reason why the police would need military-grade equipment. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
