    There are many countries where there are generally unarmed police that aren’t on the map. So no idea where this source is from or who classifies generally. But it’s just misinformation.

      Could you give an example? Wikipedia agrees with the map shown here, aside from Botswana.

      The creator of the map shown in the post attributes the data to the University of Sydney, though I haven’t been able to find the exact research paper.

        No it doesn’t. China is listed as a country where police generally don’t carry guns and it’s not shown on the map.

          So it does! I was only looking at the map at the top. I wonder why it was excluded there.
