British Police aren't real police
Armed with handcuffs and a baton, these "officers" don't even have handguns. What are they supposed to do, yell "Stop!" and expect someone to stop for them? A handgun is necessary for being able to enforce the law. Without it, their effectiveness drops a lot. There have even been several cases where unarmed "police officers" have been murdered with no means as to protect themselves. The British government needs to pull their heads out of their ass, and arm their officers, for the good of everyone.

Because most criminals don't have guns anyway?

Many British policemen are in fact armed, though their firearms are in their patrol car, and can only be used with permission. Because in England people can't go and buy a gun in Walmart for 100 bucks, criminals rarely are armed with guns. From a reported sighting of a firearm, armed policemen will take over. American police have killed over 700 people this year alone, and it is expected to top 1000 by the end of the year. In England we don't really do the shoot first ask questions later thing

They still have a lower homicide rate, and a lower gun violence rate.

3 RepliesAnd their uniforms, though... Brit Cop 1: These navy blue suits are too dull. I feel like people will be bored when they look at us. Brit Cop 2: They're kinda good for staying somewhat hidden at night. Brit Cop 1: Please criminals don't commit crime at night. They're all asleep. Brit Cop 3: What? Brit Cop 1: My point is, we need to let criminals know we're there so they won't commit crimes in front of a cop. Something bright like... bright yellow. Brit Cop 2: That would just announce our presence MORE and make us easier to distinguish AND target!! We could get shot! Brit Cop 1: GOODMAN! We don't carry guns for a reason! Criminals will feel obligated to fight fair! Brit Cop 3: Your words physically hurt my brain. *combat scenario* *police hiding behind car* *gunman hiding behind another car* Brit Cop 2: What do we do now? We're stuck! We can't fire back and he's basically a sniper cause of these uniforms! Bailey already got shot in the shoulder! Brit Cop 1: Oh please, you'll be fine. Brit Cop 3: YEAH BUT I'D STILL RATHER NOT GET [b]SHOT[/b]!!! Brit Cop 2: What do we do? Backup is just gonna have the same problem! Brit Cop 1: I have an idea. *extends baton* *throws baton like tomahawk* Brit Cop 2: Quick thinking sir, maybe you can throw you're hat next. Gunman: *yelling* Hey, guys? Brit Cop 1: What does he want? Brit Cop 2: *yelling* What? Gunman:... What the fúck was that? Brit Cop 1: Aha! We know he's American! Gunman: Should I just go home? I feel like I'm at an unfair advantage! Brit Cop 1: *yelling* YES! Retreat! We've won! Brit Cop 2 and 3: 0_0 [spoiler]this turned into more of a short story...[/spoiler]

8 RepliesThere are armed police as well as normal police in the UK, however unlike the USA we don't have a major gun problem driven by patriotism and stupidity.

1 ReplyThey have a strict criminal justice system so people actually respect the police there, which leads to far less use of force. We could learn something from them, but we never will.

Forget all that noise, is the one on the left about to whip it out and take a leak? Certainly appears he's about to.

It's because criminals in Britain aren't as violent as those in America. You guys really don't get it over there, do you? If the bad guys don't have guns then the police don't need them. [spoiler]i must admit tho, they do look kinda stupid[/spoiler]

But those stylish hats

But you just called them police.

3 RepliesAnd their lack of firearms has consistently prevented escalation of conflict and continues to do so.

We have armed officers, when neccesary (airports, nuclear areas. Response teams) Generally you don't need to shoot drunken, unarmed civilians. Funnily enough, we don't tend to have many mass shootings (almost none), so why would we need them?
