I Heard It On NPR

People in London are afraid now.

The way London has operated its public policing system has been like this: the police officers have not carried guns. They simply walked the streets with a radio and night stick waving at people with a smile and aiding tourists in figuring out maps and other traveling quandries. The emphasis was on a friendly group of officers people could trust and believe in.

Now some officers are carrying guns. They want to feel more protected. They want to feel more aptly able to protect the people of London.

What I don't understand is this: How will the police officers' guns help to better protect the people against bomb attacks on the subway?
