Cops with no Guns?


Started watching this show..at eps. 5 and i cant understand how these cops keep running after "hooded guy", breaking into barns, ect. and NO ONE CARRIES A GUN???????!!!!!!! This alone makes me want to stop watching.
In the hospital when they had to hide the hooded guy...she literally ran out of the room to yell for help from the cops in the hospital????? Did I MISS something???

Coppers in the UK didn't carry guns for many years.

Actually they do we have plenty of guns in the UK, but they are licensed and with the cops they are used in specialist firearms units

Americans...

Not every country is like you. Not every country has the same "values" and laws. Not every country has every Bob, Dick & Harry carrying around concealed handguns. Not every country has cops armed to the teeth. Not every country has the same style of law enforcement you do.

Please realise this before flipping out about how "unrealistic" a programme set in an entirely different country is.

Plus, would you trust these incompetent, hysterical idiots with firearms?

(Oh, wait. Americans let anybody have a gun.)
