It’s just one unit, a terrorist response unit, not all everyday cops.
and it would be expected a unit that is only activated in an active terrorist attack would be so armed
intimidation does not work on many terrorists as they expect to die any way
but a rifle might give a sniper a better chance to save lives
We have response units, they are rarely out and about like this for a reason.
This isn’t stopping another attack from occurring because it has to be at the right place at the right time.
We don’t need this additional unit, anywhere in Australia. It’s a bad path to be following.
Pistols are also kinda shit weapons, they’re good cos they’re small. A scoped long arm is more accurate and controllable.
