The UK has cops walking around with ARs and full auto SMGs on the streets and train platforms and they’re crying about china lol
Most cops are unarmed in the UK. There’s just a detachment of armed ones in the busiest hubs in central London, closer to the queen and houses of parliament and all that.
As someone said, London Metropolitan Police (responsible for the 32 boroughs) is unarmed, but within London there’s ‘City of London Police’ for that specific area. They’re the guns.
For context, Chinese cops are unarmed. This is fine because people in China don’t have guns.
As a tangent, I got reminded of someone saying that the presence of 50 000 guns in China proves that gun control always fails, completely ignoring the fact that China has a population of 1 400 000 000. That is a rate of 0.000036 guns per person. In comparison, the USA has more guns than people.
Cops in china are not only unarmed but they are also friendly and helpful, from my experience anyway even as a dumb annoying westerner.
Completely different vibe from cops in imperial core
The London met are unarmed I think, at least the normal people.
Australia doesn’t have many guns and people that have them tend to be the most law abiding (even in terms of traffic offenses lmao) but our cops carry 3 torture implements, a glock, wear kevlar vests, and have a long gun in the car along with a few more torture implements.
It’s fucking terrifying. No idea why they think they need all that, I immediately feel unsafe every time I see one because they’re the only people armed with anything. Nobody even carries knives here, let alone pepper spray or guns.
Its hilarious when there’s crazy knife guys in China cause theres a mancatcher pole in every public building so you’ll see like random shopkeeps and security guards pin the guy to a wall with 6 polearms while a public security dude with a shield walks up to disarm. Once again proving pikes are the superior medieval weapon.
Nobody even carries knives here
Well yeah. I see you’ve never played knifey spooney before.
Also, say, a pig actually uses a taser on a 95 year old lady with dementia in a nursing home and kills her, he immediately got charged with manslaughter and you see almost zero “back the blue” posts.
