Police Scotland Object to Armed Forces Being Armed

[Taffer]

Apparently, Police Scotland are objecting to plans for Royal Marines to perform a capability demonstration at the Scottish Air Show this weekend, on the grounds that these members of the Armed Forces will be, erm, armed.

I imagine the 'armed' will be blank rounds and smoke grenades, the personnel involved proficient in using them in a safe manner, and the landing area cordoned off and a safe distance from spectators. Still, good to know that Police Scotland are 'Keeping People Safe' (another one for the meaningless corporate slogan thread).
