Vic cops get semi-automatic weapons
http://www.skynews.com.au/topstories/article.aspx?id=456356
Being as it appears, I'm no friend of the police, nor of the mainstream political hegemony, in at least NSW and Victoria, I guess it's part of my duty, fearless, to question what is REALLY behind the Vic coppers spending AUS$7 MILLION for 10,000 new Smith & Wesson handguns ($700 a piece), for their officers?
Sky News reports that the reasons are because the old weapons are too slow to reload, and also that the new semi-automatic 0.40 calibre Smith & Wessons magazine holds 15 rounds.
This, to my incisive eye, begs the question, “How many shots are the coppers firing now, in altercations, and in how many 'situations' which the news never publishes, and therefore which the public never hear about, are the cops expending more than what...? six shots??? as per the old handguns' magazine????”
Perhaps they're merely forecasting a more violent second decade of the “New Day”?
My memories of my three and a bit years in London in the 1970s, rehash tales of the fact that behind the news, behind the general public's knowledge, the armed squads of English police were spending a lot of time in situations against armed criminals, both of the domestic robber-kind, and of the international organised-crime kind. Spies, etc.
There, and no doubt here, although Aussies are deluded into thinking we live in a generally peaceful nation, bangbangs were happening day and night, against any and every anti-establishment go-yer-own-wayers, and organised mobsters.
How many international spy wars occurred here, at least during the apparently peaceful latter half of the 20th century, I dunno, but I do know that a lot of lead was expended in Britain, not including Ireland, over the last several decades, which never made news, beyond the echoing neighbourhoods where the shoot-ups were shot-out.
Here, downunder, things like the “Melbourne gangland wars” of the last decade and more, did make the news.
This was as likely because the warriors who were 'bringing it on' were taking on the thoroughly corrupt establishment of the pro-Roman mafia. And the pro-Roman mafia essentially run our media.
But it still doesn't give justice to coppers saying they need more slugs-per-situation.
May Buddha help us if it comes to the time that a Victorian copper gets into sticky because he/she/it needs more than six or so bullets?
As I wrote in a recent sci-fi fiction (another pass-time of mine), once “the crunch” came-on, when all the systems of government and finance and food supplies imploded, as is predicted sooner or later, most coppers found themselves in deep shit, because they became the hunted, rather than as is currently, where they, with establishment backing, and with all the guns, are the hunters.
In that sci-fi scenario, “Revenge Justice” was the order of the released crims, and those arsehole macho coppers of old, found themselves on the receiving-end.
So, perhaps the police advisers and commissioners, have been reading the tea leaves, and see that they had better up the magazine load, and the quality of weaponry?
Not that a handgun is any match against mortars and anti-tank guns and automatic rifles and plastic explosives and...... hohohoho.
While the coppers protect the biggest criminals - the land-owning 'real estate' dynasties and their establishment banker-types - the only REALISTIC scenario for the future decades, is one of social and cultural decline, to the point where such scenarios which my imagination puts into words, of violent social upheaval, with the majority, those below the gated “safe zone” of the top 10 or 20%, living “at war” against the coppers and their providers, will be the reality.
So, while the coppers refuse to acknowledge that the lower classes are THE victims of an amazingly rude delusion, congered by the elite, and ignore pleas for some genuine, totally Just assistance, the scenarios of social decline will be put out into the ether, and will become increasingly manifest.
I doubt that the coppers will know how to interpret this.
But I am only saying that they give so-labelled “criminals”, some space, and security, and turn at last their attention to the beneficiaries of the worst crimes, of stealing a person's, every persons' right to affordably occupy a piece of land.
Only by seeing “crime” in this way, will their need for bigger magazines and weaponry be dispelled.
