Australian cops think Kiwi cops are crazy. They can't believe our police officers go on the beat without a gun.
Sixteen thousand New South Wales police are holstered up. It's just part of their uniform, while we like to believe New Zealand is so safe we don't need an armed police force.
If that's the case, Australian police ask why two Kiwi policemen have been shot dead in the past two years. They say a gun on a policeman's belt is a deterrent.
So should our police be armed?
