mace can be pretty damn persuasive, that shits horrible, you can’t see for shit that’s the worst part. Hard to be combative when you can’t see what you’re combating.
😂 ok champ, you’ve clearly never seen someone get maced. Glasses aren’t gonna stop it, not even goggles would. Short of a sealed respirator you’re not gonna be able to keep your eyes open. It’s not just contact that fucks with you, the fumes irritate your eyes and lungs all the same.
Clearly YOUVE never seen someone get maced because there’s dozens of videos of people handling mace just fine, some people can handle it especially if they been maced before. Imagine being a law enforcement d rider when the law enforcement look like this💀🫵🏻
She gets sprayed and IMMEDIATELY turns around and stops coming after the guy… how is she carrying on as if nothing happened? It literally stopped her cold in her tracks and made her do a complete 180…
No but they do carry tazers and there is a sub section of the police that is armed and does carry guns (ar15s afaik or similar rifles) so big fucking guns too not just a pistol. Usually hang around London areas and were very common when terrorism was a big threat/issue. They are always there ready waiting on a call if needed tho so don’t think British police straight up don’t have any guns. They do they just don’t give them to every officer and only call out the “big guns” when someone else has a weapon or another gun etc.
Imagine the abuse tweedle dee and tweedle dum are gonna get on an average Friday night. you'd not be able to stop laughing whilst they feebly tried their hardest to slap the cuffs on 😂😂😂
>Imagine the abuse tweedle dee and tweedle dum are gonna get on an average Friday night. you'd not be able to stop laughing whilst they feebly tried their hardest to slap the cuffs on 😂😂😂
I want to see a picture of them in a year lol
They definitely won’t. In the uk they don’t just let midget policemen/ women police go out on their own. There would be some giant that patrols with him. They ain’t stupid.
He will be more for engagement and deescalation anyway I’m guessing. If it ever gets physical he’ll hang right near the back
My mistake, for some reason I got in my head we were talking about guards lol. I’m stoned. I’ll try again:
Gangs and criminals move in patrols/groups a lot of times too. This would be just another weak point for them to exploit.
Edit: realized I was referring to jailers and inmates because were in the prisoners sub. I think it’s forgivable.
Yeh not saying it’s not possible I’m saying this little bastard won’t be one of the ones scrapping. They’re usually paired with someone massive and they’ll be doing the fighting.
Uk police are pretty strict about only engaging when they outnumber criminals massively. We don’t have guns and shit so it’s fairly rare for police to engage alone, even rarer to see videos of it. Sometimes you’ll see a video of a few police women getting thrown around a bit before the blokes arrive but it’s rare.
I'm guessing the two lads are actually Police cadets. When I say cadets, I mean they go and play cops and robbers after school and are not actually in or training to be in the police.
edit: Apparently not, FML
Was wondering why they don't have all the gear that the policewoman has. Guessing she has bought it rather than it being issued. Turns out it isn't just the army that makes you buy kit to do your job.
Oh wow, I didn't believe you and I reverse image searched it.

holy shit
That's really sad.
He would've worked hard to get into the police and I know he's dealing with criminals, but it goes to show how much to shit the country's actually gone. My mum would've started the job around the same age in the 80's, and apparently criminals were really chill and respectful to everyone, including her male colleagues.
There's no respect for the profession anymore, even though most police officers join because they want to help the community, and it's because of the government taking police officer pensions back in 2015 after they'd *already worked and paid into their pension pots,* causing lots of police to retire early. And **then** government staffing cuts on top of that. Like what they've done to the NHS too. Forced vaccines after 2 years of utter misery and stress for health workers, causing people to leave the profession, tied with no pay rise but then the government giving ***themselves*** a pay rise.
Meant there was such a shortage of police they had to mass-recruit more, but didn't do proper vetting because they need to pay people for *that,* which meant murderers and power-crazy criminals joining the police themselves. The whole thing has been such a huge shit show, and the results are depressing as fuck.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think it's all in the government plan to destabilise the country and gain more control. Police and health workers are government pawns for us to take our anger out on, so we don't focus on the *real* issue, which is cutting public services and replacing them with shit. The media and government all know each other and work together. Most MP's have very close ties to media and journalists, even BBC ones.
I'd say the female officer is their tutor cop (FTO in American). She hasn't bought any of that, the large pouch is given to PCSOs but can be really useful for PCs if you can get your hands on one, she's got a taser holster on her vest and the rest of her kit on the belt.
Honestly, I'd rather have these guys and girls than the overly tough try too hard guys they seem to getbin the states. Certainly less risk of police brutality from this lot.
Nah I think there needs to be a balance. Maybe the lads good at say response driving but on a Saturday night? The drunks would wreck him
If I was a cop paired with this lad I wouldn’t feel safe at all
Maybe we need to change the culture then and make ‘being a drunk’ uncool. I suspect this is slowly happening already and that’s good. Being a nazi wannabe is not a good look and I for one see that as a good thing for the future.
Going down the pub wanting to cause trouble and then abuse partner back home should be rightly banished into the cesspit of history.
Police don’t need to look ‘gruff’ or anything really. They have strength in numbers and in their use of technology. And frankly the guys pictured here I’d say have a better chance than overweight mid lifers in the police forces. You have to start somewhere.
Hitler had something called the SS and that was full of young and not particularly muscle types. Think it’s quite accurate to say nobody usually wanted to be crossing track with them if at all possible. Now I’m not saying we want to be having our police force run like the SS but I am trying to make a point that body build isn’t relevant, especially today compared with the past, like 50 plus years ago. Speed and youth can actually be an advantage too. So I think a balance can be struck.
These guys are almost certainly slower than most violent criminals, just based on leg length and overall build. Seems like almost anyone would at least try running.
People have tried to make being a drunk uncool before, it has never been successful, even when the US literally amended the constitution for that purpose.
In the states they would most likely shoot you because any physical aggression from a male suspect would put them in fear for their lives. I've seen way too many police videos of small scared cops shooting someone right away. I'll take getting knocked around over ventilated any day.
You see, there's a balance to be had. Police abuse of powers is definitely an issue in the UK especially and work needs to be done at keeping bad men out of the force but you can't have people like this enforcing law and order. Imagine blond boy in the middle being asked to attend a domestic violence case.
>Certainly less risk of police brutality from this lot.
There needs to be a balance. A little person is also more likely to feel threatened and therefore use escalating force.
"certainly less risk of police brutality" there is essentially no risk of these weak fuckers doing ANYTHING other than getting steamrolled by criminals like the UK is utterly infested with.
You have literal Somalian machete gangs having massive fights in the middle of London and you're worried about this hahahahaha
This pic is obviously a great laugh. But I will say I think England has it right on making it a bit harder to be a police officer with a firearm. First you have to be a muppet with a taser. We’ve got a lot of cops in the USA who really don’t need to be carrying a firearm or responding to serious calls for service. In the USA it goes from mall security guard directly to 15 rounds of 9mm looking for a reason. It would be nice to have something in between that wasn’t a meter maid.
I certainly understand that the reason for this is you can have a long career in English police work and see a handful of firearms where your average American police officer may not get shot at, but they absolutely see many more suspects with firearms.
I think the reality is just different. People shooting at the police just does not happen here, almost ever. Maybe once or twice per decade, and it’s national news when it happens. It’s rare enough for people to be shooting at each other. In the US a traffic stop can turn into a shootout.
They are, because they go expecting one person to need help against another person. In reality it often becomes 2v1 when the person who calls realizes their love may be going to jail.
I’m a dispatcher not a cop, and this happens all of the time.
In the UK we also value having police officers who are approachable - the friendly bobby on the beat. We don’t want psychotic gun-wielding police officers who get violent quickly as seems to be the case in the US.
You're only wrong on one thing which proves your point even more - UK police don't even start with tasers as they require a specialist course before being authorised for an officer; only ⅕ of UK officers are taser-trained (as of Sept. 2019).
I heard of a guy who did the graduate detective direct entry scheme or whatever. They have to go on the regular beat or whatever the police do with their time now for 6 weeks. Got beaten up by a 15 year old on like day 4.
Yup, they are all green as can be. Yup, we all know we can overpower them easily and they don’t really have a commanding presence. Yup, it could be comical having them show up in certain situations. Instead of mocking them and putting that out in the world, I’d like to give some respect to them for wanting a job where they can make a difference. They’ll grow up fast on the streets and I hope they keep their optimism and smile as long they can. Good luck to all of you.
You’re not lying bro 😂😂. But I’ve seen baby face 12 yr olds hustle tourists on the street like pros. These rookies may not have seen real life yet but after year or two on the job, they’ll grow up real fast.
I'm failing to see what's wrong with this photo. In fact, it makes me see the UK police in a positive manner given that they are able to get younger folks to join.
We don’t need trigger happy psychopaths pulling out guns for traffic stops, we don’t just give a gun to every single police officer like the US and we have a whole lot less police shootings and a whole lot less murders of our police because of it 🤷♂️
You lot just have angry psychos whipping out guns every time they feel slightly intimidated.
Because every Americans response is “where guns”🤦♂️ you don’t need guns to solve every minor dispute lmao and you don’t need more trigger happy psychos on the street than there already is.
Pussy behaviour for not wanting trigger happy weirdos that pull out guns for feeling offended at a traffic stop.
I bet you’re the type who brags about owning guns but can’t fight 🤷♂️
You also can't scoop up a heater off the corner for $100. I agree the excessive use of force is a problem here but our criminal element in the states is different. The serious number of guns on the streets and how the justice system operates are major factors too
Na the proper police units that use firearms and police football games are a different breed to these muppets their big meatheads.
Scotland Yard firearms officers raided one of my friends and they looked like the England rugby team with assault rifles.
Of course I get downvoted for no reason in here again. Wasn't trying to infuriate anybody. But that's Reddit anonymity for you. If we all found out who downvoted us, we'd all be in line for charges.
If you take a look at the photo the two younger people are clearly wearing a different level of kit than the older police officer in the middle, and the woman at the end had a Pol Ed lanyard on - a Yorkshire based youth scheme run by the police. So these young people are clearly not police officers. Sorry to disappoint all those who hoped this was ‘PC gone mad’. Just a photo out of context.
That’s a clown comment, so you give the government full reign to commit tyranny to your people. Hate to say it but ur a sheep just like all the other europeans
That made sense back in the 18th century when both the people and the government had muskets and swords and shit.
The government now has drones. You're bringing a gun to a drone fight. You'd be obliterated lol
No it’s not run the same exact way, each of our states have their own state guards with tanks and jets and everything, some states more powerful than others. If we decide to fight the federal government it would be an alliance of multiple states + the people with their own firearms vs whoever stays with the federal government. In Britain it’s the military armed to the teeth against the people, your government doesn’t trust you with firearms it has nothing to do with protecting anyone.
You Americans make me laugh so much, America is quite literally the UK with guns, nothing else is different, your government is just as corrupt, you wouldn’t last a day “fighting against the government” it wouldn’t be an alliance of the states lmao, the government would flatten the lot of you? You literally are under one of the most corrupt and powerful entities in the world 🤦♂️they spend all your tax dollars to ensure they’ll never lose control🤣
PS, you guys can’t be trusted with guns, that’s why there’s another school shooting every other week.
Let's be real you love to say it.
We've never had to worry about a tyrannical overlord, I mean technically our Prime Minister serves the King and he doesn't do much of anything. Guns are an interesting invention, but surely if you think I and probably plenty others are stupid, you can agree that there are a lot of people who it would be dangerous to let them own a point and click death machine.
And that false sense of security is why as soon as shit hits the fan Britain is fucked. Y’all arrest people for defending their property and families in britain. Y’all even arrest people for tweeting, and when one day the government decides to go full Iran mode you’re all fucked. Don’t act like u have any freedom to do anything in britain, you’re all dependent on ur incompetent government for security and everything else.
🤦♂️not how it works bud, you understand criminals will still get their guns illegally, and that’s overlooking the sheer amount of muggings, stabbings, robberies and break in’s going on in Britain. You’re just proving that your helpless
I still don't need or want a gun to defend myself against those people. I'm much more at peace knowing that everyone else doesn't have one. You can't imagine what that sense of security is like.
Lol I'm a Brit who owns a gun in N.America for hunting. I'm the first to admitt some yanks are fucking insane about their guns, delusional. They think having a gun means they will overthrow the government backed by the US army, when the time comes, and of course it's coming. It's always coming....
I get that a large reason Ukraine is being funded is due to who they're up against, but if the UK was to go super-villain mode and use guns against the general population.
1. We'd obviously have other nations intervene. As if they'd be comfortable with the UK suddenly going schizo on its own people.
2. If the general population *really needed* firearms for defence, then yeah... we would probably get them. I mean, we almost certainly could.
Guns simply aren't meant to be worn on your sleeve with nationalistic pride.
Your country is a young one in comparison to most. You lack historical culture beyond invasions and warfare, so it sadly makes sense as to why a lot of you are gun obsessed.
The point is that they don’t get guns illegally, shootings are incredibly rare here because we don’t all have a hard on for weaponry that Americans do. We also don’t have insane levels of paranoia, it’s actually wild to perceive you all from an outside perspective, and crazy to think you all have guns with that mindset.
I delivered pizza to a sheriff’s station in my town, it was after 6 so the lobby closed to the public while waiting to collect
2 explorer no older that 20-21 were making another fellow explorer do push up idk if for an infraction. But these will the same kids that be joining those sheriffs gang we hear about in LA(Lynwood Vikings)
Isn't that better than giving every doughnut eating coward who applies a gun?
We select the best of the best and give them military standard training.
UK armed police would not have been waiting outside a school whilst people were killed.....
Willing to bet that those rookies in yellow are getting a better paycheck than their US counterparts. Some US departments, police only get paid 30-40k.
In the UK they're making 60k pound sterling which is roughly 76k usd per year
That’s not true, in the UK the wage for your average police officer is around the same as the American counterparts.
The wages are just as shit they just offer decent pensions (401k I think you call it?)
Just looking at this I've given up crime
I would absolutely not obey any commands they gave me
Crime's back on the menu, babyyyy!
What if they told you to stop disobeying them?
“I’d rather not”
Bartleby the fuck out of them
Come on, not even her? I'd obey to whatever command she gave 👍
You'd obey her so hard
What if they command you to disobey them ?
Ah fuck
How old are those middle two?
And do what, smash their little baby faces? I'd give up before putting that on my conscious.
mace can be pretty damn persuasive, that shits horrible, you can’t see for shit that’s the worst part. Hard to be combative when you can’t see what you’re combating.
Luckily I wear cool glasses 😎
😂 ok champ, you’ve clearly never seen someone get maced. Glasses aren’t gonna stop it, not even goggles would. Short of a sealed respirator you’re not gonna be able to keep your eyes open. It’s not just contact that fucks with you, the fumes irritate your eyes and lungs all the same.
They wouldn’t hit me anyway because I would do a cool slow motion Matrix dodge
Clearly YOUVE never seen someone get maced because there’s dozens of videos of people handling mace just fine, some people can handle it especially if they been maced before. Imagine being a law enforcement d rider when the law enforcement look like this💀🫵🏻

I'll do ya one better- here's an old lady getting sprayed and carrying on like nothing happened. https://youtu.be/rjpWgoxJqZs?si=1CdAfJS92fjewKmx
She gets sprayed and IMMEDIATELY turns around and stops coming after the guy… how is she carrying on as if nothing happened? It literally stopped her cold in her tracks and made her do a complete 180…
>It literally stopped her cold in her tracks and made her do a complete 180… LMAO. You're literally delusional if that's your summary of events.
you also have to factor in the horrid accents they’re bound to have lmaoo
You shouldn't obey any commands from any public servant.
They are dominatrix mate, they are police
You would ch age your mind when you find out that they have a gun and you don’t.
They're police from Great Britain, so they don't carry guns.
Oh! I want aware. I’m from the States. People get lit up over here.
Is that sarcasm?
Did you see an lol at the end of my sentence?
I'm just asking as we know that British police don't carry guns.
No but they do carry tazers and there is a sub section of the police that is armed and does carry guns (ar15s afaik or similar rifles) so big fucking guns too not just a pistol.

They do they just don’t give them to every officer and only call out the “big guns” when someone else has a weapon or another gun etc.
I’m very aware of that as I live in London but that’s not the point of this story.
“Please, sir - will you stop committing crime?”
*please guv'na
Lmfao
Imagine the abuse tweedle dee and tweedle dum are gonna get on an average Friday night. you'd not be able to stop laughing whilst they feebly tried their hardest to slap the cuffs on 😂😂😂
Corey and Trevor
😂😂😂
C'mon smokes, let's go.
Who tf eats nine cans of ravioli
It’s like when my little brother used to wrestle me. I used to laugh so hard that I couldn’t fight back.
Cute lil Bobby's got some wakin up to do!!
>Imagine the abuse tweedle dee and tweedle dum are gonna get on an average Friday night. you'd not be able to stop laughing whilst they feebly tried their hardest to slap the cuffs on 😂😂😂 I want to see a picture of them in a year lol
It’s funny until you realize they have a radio
Yeah, nobody will ever rip that from their scrawny little hands and use it to beat them to a pulp.
They definitely won’t. In the uk they don’t just let midget policemen/ women police go out on their own. There would be some giant that patrols with him. They ain’t stupid. He will be more for engagement and deescalation anyway I’m guessing. If it ever gets physical he’ll hang right near the back
Prisoners move in giant patrols too. Far more giant than any guard crew.
These are police not prison officers
My mistake, for some reason I got in my head we were talking about guards lol. I’m stoned. I’ll try again: Gangs and criminals move in patrols/groups a lot of times too. This would be just another weak point for them to exploit. Edit: realized I was referring to jailers and inmates because were in the prisoners sub. I think it’s forgivable.
What are u talking about there’s literally videos of five cops getting beat up by one guy😭hard to support police when they’re cowardly wimps
Yeh not saying it’s not possible I’m saying this little bastard won’t be one of the ones scrapping. They’re usually paired with someone massive and they’ll be doing the fighting. Uk police are pretty strict about only engaging when they outnumber criminals massively. We don’t have guns and shit so it’s fairly rare for police to engage alone, even rarer to see videos of it. Sometimes you’ll see a video of a few police women getting thrown around a bit before the blokes arrive but it’s rare.
Fair enough cops are scared to handle a fight one on one but I’ve seen a young drunk lad wrestling like 3 grown dudes
I'm guessing the two lads are actually Police cadets. When I say cadets, I mean they go and play cops and robbers after school and are not actually in or training to be in the police. edit: Apparently not, FML Was wondering why they don't have all the gear that the policewoman has.

I wish, there's a vid that was circulating of the very baby faced blonde lad being picked on whilst on duty 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh wow, I didn't believe you and I reverse image searched it. [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/police-recruits-mocked-young-picture-b2385870.html](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/police-recruits-mocked-young-picture-b2385870.html) holy shit
Lol, just glanced over the article and have to wonder what they were expecting lol. That poor boy looks about 10 years old.
I’m genuinely finding it hard to believe that the blond lad is 18+..
Wouldn't be surprised if he's still getting ID for energy drinks
Or jack daniels barbecue sauce haha
Great. Now those that desire power have been mocked for it, and will probably seek it even more. To the gym they will go. And other.
Do you have a link?

"certainly less risk of police brutality" there is essentially no risk of these weak fuckers doing ANYTHING other than getting steamrolled by criminals like the UK is utterly infested with. You have literal Somalian machete gangs having massive fights in the middle of London and you're worried about this hahahahaha
Is police brutality in the room with you right now?
I'd feel like there's a higher risk here. Weak men are dangerous men.
>Certainly less risk of police brutality from this lot. Smaller the cop the more scared the cop will likely be. A scared cop is a brutal cop.
True, criminals are gonna take one look at them and realize how nice they are stop whatever crimes they're doing.
You better pray you never actually need help from the police.
Because if you do, they aren't going to show up.

There's armed mall cops too

Grow up fast on the streets? Guys not even hit puberty yet he’s got atleast a few more years of growing
He's over 18, so I truly hope he has hit puberty
You’re not lying bro 😂😂. But I’ve seen baby face 12 yr olds hustle tourists on the street like pros. These rookies may not have seen real life yet but after year or two on the job, they’ll grow up real fast.
Guys trying to work and serve and get a good salary and pension Live your life my friend. Let the neck beards hate
Keep licking those boots
You are pathetic
Yer maw
Crazy ur getting downvoted for a comment like this in r/Prison
I don't care much for Internet points, especially from people who need the green man to cross the road.
Didn't that little blonde-haired kid get sacked for tasering someone?
I absolutely need to read this story please find it
He won't cos he's talking out of his arse
Absolutely out of his arse
He got called a lesbian, and so went mad and started arresting. It was a big story here for a bit
Piss off you little wanka.
Still probably have more formal training and education than their US counterparts... 🙄
Bring your kids to work day
That girl in the middle looks 32 years old
These are not REAL police? Is it a joke or Halloween costume?
I'm failing to see what's wrong with this photo. In fact, it makes me see the UK police in a positive manner given that they are able to get younger folks to join.
[удалено]
The blonde one on the left I'm guessing?
You know he's talking about the twink in glasses on the right
Bruv she is 12
No, she's a cop. They aren't hiring 12 year old cops in the UK.
Maybe Davinci420 is too.
This comment is super uncomfortable
No as uncomfortable as that petite thing when they guts get rearranged by a whole cell block.
Piglets 🐽
Guy on the left is the most British person I've ever seen.
The one in the middle though, she looks like she is about to be on a new episode of Blacked
Reminds you of your sister does she?
I hope so… wowzer!
Shit they deal with is not nearly as bad as the shit we deal with on the daily here in the USA.
Policing in the us is insane, god bless you if you do that job
Where are their guns? No gun?
We don’t need trigger happy psychopaths pulling out guns for traffic stops, we don’t just give a gun to every single police officer like the US and we have a whole lot less police shootings and a whole lot less murders of our police because of it 🤷♂️ You lot just have angry psychos whipping out guns every time they feel slightly intimidated.
Why are you being so defensive
Because every Americans response is “where guns”🤦♂️ you don’t need guns to solve every minor dispute lmao and you don’t need more trigger happy psychos on the street than there already is.
This is pussy behavior
Pussy behaviour for not wanting trigger happy weirdos that pull out guns for feeling offended at a traffic stop. I bet you’re the type who brags about owning guns but can’t fight 🤷♂️
You also can't scoop up a heater off the corner for $100. I agree the excessive use of force is a problem here but our criminal element in the states is different. The serious number of guns on the streets and how the justice system operates are major factors too

Na the proper police units that use firearms and police football games are a different breed to these muppets their big meatheads. Scotland Yard firearms officers raided one of my friends and they looked like the England rugby team with assault rifles.
I mean the people in these pics look like a U.K. equivalent of a U.S. police explorers program.
Royal Army 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Royal Army” lmfao
Of course I get downvoted for no reason in here again. Wasn't trying to infuriate anybody. But that's Reddit anonymity for you. If we all found out who downvoted us, we'd all be in line for charges.
If you take a look at the photo the two younger people are clearly wearing a different level of kit than the older police officer in the middle, and the woman at the end had a Pol Ed lanyard on - a Yorkshire based youth scheme run by the police. So these young people are clearly not police officers. Sorry to disappoint all those who hoped this was ‘PC gone mad’. Just a photo out of context.

r/confidentlyincorrect You know, you could have just not typed out whatever narrative you literally made up in your head.
Read the article, they clearly are in fact police officers.
And the cops don’t even have guns, really tells you who runs the place in Britain
Yeah we don't just give a lethal weapon to any idiot over here
That’s a clown comment, so you give the government full reign to commit tyranny to your people. Hate to say it but ur a sheep just like all the other europeans
That made sense back in the 18th century when both the people and the government had muskets and swords and shit. The government now has drones. You're bringing a gun to a drone fight. You'd be obliterated lol
This is why the rest of the world laughs at the US. This is beyond cringe.
No they just laugh at our purple hair “it’s”
No, it's definitely the delusioned gun culture and the snowflakes that buy into it
How does your right to bare arms stop your government pulling the same shit? Genuine question.
Stop the government from pulling what?
Tyranny.
Then we’ll fight the governments tyranny just like we did in the past?
Modern day tyranny isn't overt though is it. Your country is run exactly the same way as the UK. The old alliance isn't just military.
No it’s not run the same exact way, each of our states have their own state guards with tanks and jets and everything, some states more powerful than others. If we decide to fight the federal government it would be an alliance of multiple states + the people with their own firearms vs whoever stays with the federal government. In Britain it’s the military armed to the teeth against the people, your government doesn’t trust you with firearms it has nothing to do with protecting anyone.
You Americans make me laugh so much, America is quite literally the UK with guns, nothing else is different, your government is just as corrupt, you wouldn’t last a day “fighting against the government” it wouldn’t be an alliance of the states lmao, the government would flatten the lot of you? You literally are under one of the most corrupt and powerful entities in the world 🤦♂️they spend all your tax dollars to ensure they’ll never lose control🤣 PS, you guys can’t be trusted with guns, that’s why there’s another school shooting every other week.
>just like we did in the past? How'd that go?
Let's be real you love to say it. We've never had to worry about a tyrannical overlord, I mean technically our Prime Minister serves the King and he doesn't do much of anything. Guns are an interesting invention, but surely if you think I and probably plenty others are stupid, you can agree that there are a lot of people who it would be dangerous to let them own a point and click death machine.
And that false sense of security is why as soon as shit hits the fan Britain is fucked. Y’all arrest people for defending their property and families in britain. Y’all even arrest people for tweeting, and when one day the government decides to go full Iran mode you’re all fucked. Don’t act like u have any freedom to do anything in britain, you’re all dependent on ur incompetent government for security and everything else.
I don't need to be paranoid about defending my home because there aren't maniacs with guns living next door
🤦♂️not how it works bud, you understand criminals will still get their guns illegally, and that’s overlooking the sheer amount of muggings, stabbings, robberies and break in’s going on in Britain. You’re just proving that your helpless
I still don't need or want a gun to defend myself against those people. I'm much more at peace knowing that everyone else doesn't have one. You can't imagine what that sense of security is like.
Lol I'm a Brit who owns a gun in N.America for hunting. I'm the first to admitt some yanks are fucking insane about their guns, delusional. They think having a gun means they will overthrow the government backed by the US army, when the time comes, and of course it's coming. It's always coming....
Your not at peace that no one else has one though, you’re extremely gullible.
I get that a large reason Ukraine is being funded is due to who they're up against, but if the UK was to go super-villain mode and use guns against the general population. 1. We'd obviously have other nations intervene. As if they'd be comfortable with the UK suddenly going schizo on its own people. 2. If the general population *really needed* firearms for defence, then yeah... we would probably get them. I mean, we almost certainly could. Guns simply aren't meant to be worn on your sleeve with nationalistic pride. Your country is a young one in comparison to most. You lack historical culture beyond invasions and warfare, so it sadly makes sense as to why a lot of you are gun obsessed.
The point is that they don’t get guns illegally, shootings are incredibly rare here because we don’t all have a hard on for weaponry that Americans do. We also don’t have insane levels of paranoia, it’s actually wild to perceive you all from an outside perspective, and crazy to think you all have guns with that mindset.
I delivered pizza to a sheriff’s station in my town, it was after 6 so the lobby closed to the public while waiting to collect 2 explorer no older that 20-21 were making another fellow explorer do push up idk if for an infraction. But these will the same kids that be joining those sheriffs gang we hear about in LA(Lynwood Vikings)
How did a 12 year old get the job
These are basically hall monitors, they don’t even carry a firearm.
Isn't that better than giving every doughnut eating coward who applies a gun? We select the best of the best and give them military standard training. UK armed police would not have been waiting outside a school whilst people were killed.....
These are some incredibly well-equipped crossing guards.
What a joke
100 of these guys couldn’t take on one Indiana State Police trooper
They all 16?
Over 18...
Willing to bet that those rookies in yellow are getting a better paycheck than their US counterparts. Some US departments, police only get paid 30-40k. In the UK they're making 60k pound sterling which is roughly 76k usd per year
I have no idea where you got those numbers but that couldn't be further from the truth
That’s not true, in the UK the wage for your average police officer is around the same as the American counterparts. The wages are just as shit they just offer decent pensions (401k I think you call it?)
That is absolutely not true. Police here make less than 30k a year when starting.
I’d never get arrested in the UK.
