Awhile ago I mentioned in another thread about British police not carrying guns. I guess this is the case with most officers. Even after the below happened they are still sticking to their values and don't want to change anything. I guess if you have a country where guns are outlawed the police don't need guns either.
A little aside to the story, I guess the BG had a frag as well.

Fiona Bone, 32, and her colleague Nicola Hughes, 23, were on a routine patrol in the Mottram district of Greater Manchester when they responded to reports of a house burglary on the Hattersley Estate.

Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone
Shortly before 11am the pair, who were unarmed, arrived at terraced property in Abbey Gardens in a marked police car.
As they approached the house, a man suddenly emerged and fired more than ten times at them before throwing a grenade in their direction.
Both women were fatally injured, one dying at the scene while paramedics were unable to save her colleague.
A short time later, Cregan walked into nearby Tameside police station and gave himself up.
Police said they believed Cregan or someone acting on his behalf had deliberately called the police to report a bogus burglary in a bid to lure officers into a deadly ambush.
Two people, one male and a female, who were believed to be in the house from where the bogus call to the police was made, were last night helping police with their inquiries.
