Should american cops be like uk cops. Unarmed

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

UK cops are not armed so it's rarely police brutality issues the same way it is in America.

IDK if the training different over there or not but this is something we should look at.

Folks aren't gonna shoot police like that and most police encounters the suspect is unarmed anyway.

What y'all think

Never going to happen if the general populace is armed

I see but it's a good idea

You want them to be unarmed in a country awash with guns?

Getting your hands on a gun in the Uk is hard as fukk

Then dont be a cop. Problem solved.
UK has armed units but every cop doesnt need a gun. When the situation calls for it they radio for an armed unit to come.

I think they should be armed and they should wear more protective gear (even for simple traffic stops). BUT at the same time, they should be held to a much higher standard and if they kill someone it should be a BIG deal. "I feared for my life" should never be an acceptable excuse for killing an unarmed person or a person with a knife. Isn't that what a taser is for? They should face murder charges for that type of behavior.

 

[Strapped]

Yes

Too many guns in this country for that. It would be a good idea if it was possible. Guns are a crutch for cops here. If they don't get the response they want from people they lean on weapons. Without weapons you're forced to use reasoning understanding and compassion and there's no room for any of that in America anymore.

Ummmm yes.

Never gonna happen. You guys are too far gone.

No, being a cop in the US is inherently more dangerous than it is in the Uk.
relying on armed units to get to a situation after the fact would probably end up costing more lives, than saving them imo.

In the UK getting a gun is so hard that gang members resort to stabbing and throwing acid on each other...

Also the UK is under a ridiculous amount of surveillance.

It's just different...

If the USA police was disarmed today, I'll be a fukking super criminal by 2morrow...
