What’s the point of training those royal clowns to be capable of using a rife and killing ‘threats’ if you’re just gonna also include normal uniformed cops around the palace?

I get that pomp and circumstance is important for Brits to not become depressed, but doesn’t it become meaningless if a normal cop with his bullet proof vest and radios and cargo pants, is standing right next to your ceremonial cop who’s supposed to represent eternal tradition?
They actually have different jobs and functions, one of them is there to harass minorities and defend the status quo, while the other is there to harass minorities and defend the status quo but in red.
Literal red fash!
since like 70% of the peerage is infertile from inbreeding, the nation is running out of dudes with really long heads who are, frankly, unqualified to do anything except robotic choreography in front of little huts for tourists. once there are no more pinheads, they will switch completely to the modern, shirt with necktie, blunt skull cap and tactical vest with inventory space for 50 wet wipes.
You forgot they're also really good at trampling children instead of just walking around them
Crushing proles with the actual army always looks worse than sending in pigs instead, thats probably part of it.
Anyway i was always told that cops with these big boy guns only existed in authoritarian societies, so this is probably fine, right?
Don’t think I ever saw a cop with a gun in Vietnam 💀 british people really drink their teabags while some thumb with an SMG stares them down
the red jacket guys with funny hats are there to protect against metaphysical threats, the anglo history of imperialism, ethnic cleansing, and death come with the consequence of a lot of very angry dead people. the outlandish hat and jacket serve to ward off and confuse rightfully vengeful spirits, who think they must be in another country with all these tall people with colorful clothes about (British people are short from malnutrition, and would never wear a color without ulterior motives), and the mounted bayonet on the rifle is actually the primary spiritual weapon (guns cannot be used in astral combat, you must use a weapon that physically connects you and your target); the rifle is only there to present an air of modernity and mundanity to the civilians and tourists. they maintain a constant ritual/magic circle around the palace with their rigid robotic routines - routines they cannot, ever, disregard without consequences, even should an innocent child be in the way.
the normal cops are just cops
The way he’s fondling that weapon is unsettling.
