The arming of the police has been extended also want the Minister of Justice to investigate the use of stun guns in the police. Terror Researcher Thomas Hegghammer is not excited.
OSLO: – Our best protection against terror is not the gun, but good intelligence. Brave infiltrators and sharp analysts have averted many more terrorist attacks in Europe in recent years than armed police patrols, says Hegghammer Dagsavisen.
Wednesday extended Justice Minister Anders Anundsen (FRP) arming of the police yet again, primarily due to the intensifying threat assessment where police and military personnel are identified as being particularly vulnerable terrorist targets.
At stun gun would prevent a terrorist attack, think Hegghammer nothing on.
– To my knowledge, no terrorist attacks been averted or limited by stun gun. I believe that the pursuit of a protection weapon on her hip is a dead end, says Hegg Hammer.
He is admittedly for punktbevæpning – armed guards at exposed places, such as parliament and government premises.
Hegghammer gets support of terror researcher Cato Hemmingby at the Police Academy.
– Nothing in relation to terrorism implies a general arming of the police in Norway. It should be limited to particularly vulnerable objects and people clog key points, and it should have been adjusted locally and geographically from the start, he says. (© NTB)
