| Message | Herr Huspresident, I am certainly unsurprised by the dramatic change in direction this government is taking this country, though I am sure many who voted for the DLK may well be. That, of course, is for the next election to decide. However, my question to the minister is quite simple - based on what statistical increase in violent crime is the minister choosing to implement this policy? I assume, given a radical departure from the current non-lethal tactics of our police, that there has been an increase in such crimes? If not I find the policy change rather confusing.

| Message | Herr Huspresident, Minister Hermansson of Internal Affairs had already conducted an extensive investigation including interviews with high-ranking officers of the National Police, including the Commissioner himself and myself, a veteran criminologist. As noted by Mr. Brakkstad, not only have crimes of violent nature increased but also the overall consensus within the Police Organisation that there isn't simply enough time to call 'the Heavy cavalry' so to say, especially in emergencies that could potentially risk many officers' lives, combined with the feeling of extra security if regular police units would be allowed to carry both lethal and non-lethal arms, for solving different situations requiring a wide variety of Tools. Specifically trained fire arms units (e.g. SWAT) are still available for the most 'Red Alert' situations, but the Knivedalen Cabinet feels that giving regular police units the extra 'Oumph' in dealing with potentially risky suspects would guarantee a better outcome.
