Because they are so bored they want in on the action rather than patrolling. It's the same reason you see 8 police cars all parked around a single pulled over vehicle. They are all hopped up on the 'drenny wanting to shoot somebody or sick a dog on them.
First, that doesn't really happen here. Second, it's incredibly rare for our police to even carry a firearm, let alone use one.
America isn't the world.
True. I didn't realize I was in the nz sub. Only speaking from experience in Houston, Texas, USA. Just shows how much I'm broken by our shitty police.
