Ok - this does have to be discussed. Bondi Beach is a block from a police station. Three officers - most or all female, as it happens - were on the scene throughout the shooting. As far as I can tell, they basically hid and did nothing for 10+ minutes, until an unarmed man disarmed the primary shooter. At the most basic level, do these cops have weapons? At a deeper one: how can Western societies ask their citizens to disarm and trust governments that pretty regularly perform at this level?
