| Message | They do not require standard firearms to uphold the law. They are armed with non-lethal weaponry and should it become necessary to use more firepower then they can call in specially trained units. Arming the Police merely increases social tension and does nothing to reduce crime rates. |

| Message | Serious situations can occur without much warning, and its possible that there might not be enough time to wait around for special backup units. |

| Message | You seem to be under the mistaken belief that the Police officers aren't armed, but they are. The only difference is that the current armaments are not designed to kill but incapacitate thusly allowing the police to do their job, which is uphold the law, without as big a risk of them becoming the means of carrying out "justice". |
