Police chief says half the Met's armed officers could stop carrying weapons

The Guardian reports:
A police chief has said more than half of his force's armed officers could stop carrying weapons because of plans by the police watchdog to ban them from conferring with each other as they write up statements following a shooting.
The police chief quoted is Commander Neil Basu of Scotland Yard.

But would it be such a tragedy if there were fewer armed police?
