No wonder these criminals get away lightly, the Gardai have no arms
Seen plenty armed cops in New Zealand, so many,when fugitive, ‘Willy the Hunted One’ was living in the shed next door,we didn’t tip the cops off,because they would have shot him…he’d raid your larder, not steal your electronic devices… survival!
Norwegian police are _all_ armed if the terrorist threat level is increased. The Gardai cross their fingers, I presume?
We have the armed response unit patrolling the country so we do technically have armed police.
When the only one with a weapon is the criminal
Northern ireland they are armed
See plenty of UK cops with guns.
Armed Support Unit and also Detectives all carry side arms. Generally it’s run of the mill uniformed ones that are unarmed, so most of them are unarmed.
American here our cops are… y’all already know 🤦🏼♂️
Ireland clearly has armed police, even if all aren’t armed. And this is similar to many countries (India for example) which are not marked as unarmed. I wonder what’s the basis of the data behind this map.
Spud guns
This is why using world borders to define smaller information is stupid,
I imagine there would be a lot more gun crime if the gardai were armed. As it stands, most shootings are organised gang members just shooting each other.
I have met people in the USA who genuinely think the purpose of giving guns to the police is to enable them to kill bad guys.
Never seen police in NI WITHOUT a gun, to be honest. Often enough taking a semi auto out of the boot, depending on the occasion.
PSNI are all armed
Probably the least violent murders per capita here as well
chinese police is not armed
With all due respect, as someone who knows several people who became Gardai, I would prefer if the average garda remained unarmed for as long as possible… honestly as much for their safety as for everyone elses

Exclusive club.
Anecdotal
Police in Northern Ireland are armed, often heavily.
The thing that’s got my attention is why does unarmed have a different gun silhouette?

(Otherwise my reactions is meh)
[Police in China are also generally unarmed.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_firearm_use_by_country#Unarmed_police_forces)
