Targeted and outgunned by homegrown terrorists, cops throughout Europe are demanding a serious boost in firepower.French police unions met Monday with top officials from the Interior Ministry, pressing for heavy weapons and protective gear, better training for first responders, and more legal tools to guard against terrorism.

Unarmed rookie Officer Clarissa Jean-Philippe, 27, was gunned down in a Paris suburb a day after the Charlie Hebdo attack by a terrorist wielding an automatic weapon and wearing a bulletproof vest.
