    No doubt desperate economic situation, escalating crime and tight budgets will lead to the 'necessity' to introduce widespread use of Tasers dramatically cutting numbers of police officers necessary to make an arrest.

    Tasers = Cattle prods for people.

    Though this government is going to be so broke I don't think they'll have the cash to beef up the police.

    They will use the armed forces. Cheaper and they are tougher.

    They are talking about cutting back in Gloucestershire.
    I say they should cull the statistic gatherers and diversity consultants.
    Happy chappy

    they should, but it will be the real crime fighters that actually go. Gloucestershire wont be the only place with cut backs.

    Not too easy to do thankfully. It will have to be natural wasteage if they do make cutbacks, as police officer's cannot be made redundant (this is a right given to them when they gave up the right to strike).
