Police Insecurity

According to an unsurprising revelation in the article entitled "Police guns used in murder" in the Observer, a high level anonymous source is reported as having said "We have identified a number of recycled weapons from the armoury and ballistics have shown that they were used to commit murders. I expected to see the article going on to say that the Observer reporter asked, When was this first discovered and what has been done about it" but this was not to be.

More interestingly, the article went on to report on the absolutely slack and unacceptable level of security at the armoury leaving us to speculate on why this is and who benefits from this deliberate policy to keep the armoury insecure ? For surely that level of insecurity in the police armoury in a country where there seems to be no shortage of guns and ammunition, could never be accidental?
