The mounted police are very cool, but one must remember they are police and they're also armed around the palace (at least the female officer I saw up close and chatted with was - there is a holstered gun that seemed to be part of the tack on the horse).

He's not police, he's a King's Guard.

It's two totally different jobs. The police aren't wannabe soldiers like they are in the US.
