Draft Argument
 Should police force be routinely armed? Two to three New Zealand policemen have been killed each year. By been brutally beaten or shot by not been armed. So we strongly believe that New Zealand police should be armed.

Early this year an innocent police officer got shot dead by Jan Molenaar and his body was still in side the house. Meanwhile as he was still shooting he had shot one of his neighbours who had been lucky enough to survive. The police had to evict everyone out of there houses, so that they wouldn’t get hit by the gun fire. Eventually the shooting had come to an end and Jan Molenaar was shot dead by an armed police officer. But if the police officer was armed he probably be still alive and at home with his sweet and loving family. That is about the second person this year who has died in the line of duty be not being armed. Some people also feel safer when there are armed police officers around. There also some down sides to arming police because in 2002 they had killed a man who they thought to be a terrorist when he was an illegal immigrant.

So in conclusion we strongly believe that police offices should be armed. So there are no more officers dyeing on the line of duty.
