Should american cops be like uk cops. Unarmed

[filial_piety]

cops are a gang that serves the ruling class. they are class terrorists backed by the entire state apparatus. it's not a matter of good and bad apples.

the entire socioeconomic system, one that requires armed enforcers to be deployed against oppressed people and working-class people and one that pushes people into illegal activities to survive, needs to go.

Do we need the police or not?

What would you suggest as the alternative?

 

[DaRealness]

That's never gonna happen.

Isn't there a gun for every American citizen or something like that?

I'm just glad they don't arm every cop here because you'll see a sudden "I feared for my life" increase too.

If guns were legal over here and could be bought freely in the same place you buy your weekly groceries like in the US, UK pigs would have no choice other than to be armed



And the only people who give a shyt about the Royal Family are posh twats and tourists

 

[thekingsmen]

What's that got to do with anything?

That bytch and her family steal from you guys and you still praised them like gods and protected by people with guns.

nope. the modern police institution is a recent invention and one that doesn't serve the interests of the masses of people.

with regards to your question, I would encourage you to read this article as an intro to some of these ideas.

We should stop expecting white police forces to treat us fairly and try to create our own. We honestly should all together stop expecting non-black people to treat us fairly and do our own thing.

First of all, I couldn't give a flying fukk about a royal family.

shyt, if anyone's obsessed with the Windsors, it's you YankeeBrehs who seem more enamoured with them. I get all my information about them, ironically, from American websites, including this one.



And I thought this thread was about guns? fukk all this royal talk.

I don't like cops either but..

if cops had no guns then a random white boy with his ak couldn't be stopped. you talking about schools, churches, malls, any large public gathering. massacres would go from the tens to hundreds. Gang activity would be worse.

No but they should be armed with rubber bullets.

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.

Not at all. It would only cause them to think and acutally approach all situations with caution the same way they do with white folks.

A traffic cop giving out tickets doesn't need a gun on him. There are plenty of non lethal alternatives that will work in most situations. Sorry. And if the situation escalates at a traffic stop they already have rules in place in many states where they don't chase people who speed off. With all the cameras these days folks get caught later anyway.

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.

U do know how much guns are being passed around within this country right? People who dont even have license for the shyt are carrying. Totally differen Ur putting every cops life in danger.

It would also cause more civilians and cops to be killed. There are instances where police arrive to a situation, only for it to be something that has to be handled lethally in that moment. "proceeding cautiously" doesn't improve the circumstances if someone is in imminent danger.

And most cops exercise non-lethal alternatives in most situations. Despite what the media reports, I read that something like less than 1% of all interactions between police and civilians results in a lethal confrontation. And most cops aren't traffic cops either, they generally don't have to interact with the people with whom they are issuing tickets to. Actual officers are sort of told to do everything from handling robberies, burglaries or other shootings or life threatening things.

That being said, would some people just elect to remove cops from black neighborhoods?

Black men aren't getting killed in uk
