Why Indian police do not have any gun? why they use wood stick, Indian government do not have money to provide

Question

all Police guys need one gun.

Answer 1

The sophistication required before you arm an average policeman with weapons In India, simply does not exist.
This is not because we do not have the intelligence and ability but as with anything else in India----just bad administration.
Neither is this required in India.Our mind set(thank God) is not like as in US unless u want to Believe Bollywood Idiots trying to ape everything Holli wood.(pretty comical and embarrassing btw)

Answer 2

This can be a huge answer, so Ill keep it short. Fewer guns indicate a civilised society as a policeman's uniform is sufficient.


Policemen are humans, they can misuse guns. They run under stress as most in India are not properly trained, especially the officers.

They have a uniform to keep people at bay, would you even if with 3-4 friends cross a traffic signal if a cop was watching you? Would you try something naughty if one cop was watching you? Would you have given him the same respect if he was in civil clothes & you did not know he was a cop?



When under threat policemen may fire at people rather than bring the situation under control. So guns should be far & few.


Do you want this to become a police state with no freedom, as happened in several countries. So it's the right thing, guns only where there are threat perceptions, those will be seperate divisions - trained to use correctly.

Answer 3

With the kind of things that go on in the police station, i dont think we need every police man to be carrying a handgun. As it is sovereign immunity has prevented prosecution of many policemen in india for abuse of power including custodial violence. Since criminals have the money to pay the bribes the police will not shoot them they will start shooting helpless citizens like you and me with the guns provided by the tax payers money.

Only those who need guns should be given the weapons. If every policmen is given a gun the first people they will shoot with these guns are the public who paid for them. It is better they beat the public with their stick then shoot them with their guns and nothing can be done by anyone as it is almost impossible to prosecute a policemen for an act done while he is on duty.

The policemans job is a stressful job and not everyone who is given a gun has the mental maturity to control his impulse to shoot the person who irritates him. Do you have any idea about "fragging" it means soldiers shooting their collegues and superiors because they cant handle the stress.

Knowing all this do you really want all your neighbourhood policeman carrying guns with a license to shoot and kill ?

Answer 4

Yes that’s a good question. I myself was surprised when some days back I saw a police constable in my neighborhood carrying AK47 with him. I really congratulated him for this promotion to carry AK47 rather a wooden stick. Well now government in India has realized that wooden sticks are not sufficient arms in the hand of our police personnel’s & they should be equipped with latest arms to control the increasing violence & terrorist activities in the society. But as you may not be aware that our police forces are being under the direct control of the State government & it is upto the State government to provide them with these sophisticated arms, if the state government has so much extra money in its exchequer they will provide it otherwise the old wooden stick continues.

Answer 5

Indian Police have been kept powerless and disorganised for a reason - that reason is that anti-national people can always get their own way. It is a very big strategy. Police are never allowed to organise or get strong. Delhi Police is a particular target.
If you notice, the entire country has this disease and it can clearly traced back to the anti-national constitution written by an anti-Hindu, british-fed non-pedigreed person, to please his British masters.
This is also the reason that Hindus cannot get organised and become one big potent body to take care of all the S.C.U.M. in this land.

Answer 6

Because many Police Men have no idea to use th eGun Properly. These type of weapons need good temprament and wisdom. In recent days we heared killing of many people including officers by frusted Jawans. So it is better to have lathis or wood stick in their hands.

Answer 7

Where they will use the gun? Police force is to protect the civilians. Maintain law and order. Regulate traffic and crowd. All these places bullets are useless.

Answer 8

they should not provided sticks either because they use them on the poor people of this country if guns will be provided them they will use them for the rich people by landing them
the police belongs to India my country they are not supposed to kill the people there duty is to control them

Answer 9

In England the bobbies don't carry guns either. I guess some places can function on old school ways.
