正文 关于警察配枪的八分作文！

This should be a familiar scene in a Hollywood detective movie: an American police officer, armed with a pistol in case of a sudden strke from a misty¹ corner, patrols a dark alley² in search of the criminal element.In the meantime, his UK counterparts has to do the same job with merely a short baton³ in ha12 He is like a fearless knight⁴ fighting for honour against enemies armed with guns with only his lance. Naturally, the ending will always be unfavourable to him. Or the ending will always not be to the delight of the spectators.Police, as protectors of his people , should do what they can, and use whatever means they can, to keep people out of harm's way. But in the UK, police are on duty without carying a gun, which is a very bad idea. They are handicapping themselves.

Generally speaking, gun is recognized as a emblem⁵ of power and justice of police. It is clear that a police with gun on is able to prevent those potential criminal activities. For instance, a pistol on the belt works effectively to stop crimes range from those robbery, theft, and rape⁶ and it can also force the criminals to be arrested.

Unlike the ordinary gangster⁹ and robbers who is armed daggers¹⁰ and knives, a large number of international terrorists are equipped with semi-auto rifles and massive destruction weapons. Proper measures must be taken to limit the uneven¹¹ contrast of power and the great efforts should be made to protect civilian¹² from the harm of terrorist attack. However, there is an old saying “combat poison with poison”, say, an overall upgrading of UK police equipments couldn’t be better to meet the needs. It is all necessary that every police carries a pistol while they are on duty, that would be the practicable way to ensure the public security in Briton.

As a consequence, having carry guns by police will evidently benefit people in UK, and of which will lead to a more steady and harmonic society. If there must be a controversy¹³, it would go to whether the government should place a curb¹⁴ upon the possible abuse of gun.
