Something Americans don't seem to realise - and there's no reason they should - is Britain has been under attack one way or another for centuries. Our history is fairly littered with it. Consequently we're not shocked or even particularly frightened by it, but we are automatically vigilant.
Wonder how they would have coped with air raids for 5.5 years?
@@maxinekennedy5888Don't worry, the japs gave them pearl harbour😂
@@arfgrogue5735 Yup! They've been dining out on that one air raid ever since.
Often from American financed IRA
@@batman51 I was too polite to that say that 🤣
UK armed police can act very quick when needed to. A few days after the school shooting where the police in America delayed entering the building for ages. There was a call concern for safety at a school near London, within 9 mins of the start of the 999 call armed officers were inside the classroom.
Over 70 minutes for US enforcement to end this terrible mass shooting is just a big fail.
Some US reports say it only took 40 minutes or so to end it, but this is from the department of public safety, who are quite clearly trying to cover their ass.
So, just so I understand this correctly being a UK citizen , an 18 year old kid in the US can, over 3 days, purchase two semi automatic rifles with 300 rounds, and nobody, not one person asked him why he would need that? maybe they did ask him, and he told them oh I just want to take out a few small ones, and a couple of big ones too, well alright then, thank you for your business.
Oh sorry, i forgot about your right to bear arms, he was obviously part of a well regulated Militia and was defending the security of the State.
The families of the nineteen children and the two teachers whose lives ended on that day, might just have a little something to say about that.
Land of the free you say?, and home of the brave you say?, Nope, not while you allow this.
I always thought of the US as the land of the free and the home of the brave
The way the gun laws work here in the UK is very strict, but I have lived in London for most of my life, 62 years. I have also lived for a time in the US, and for me to see so many guns and guns on all the police is quite scary. The problem here is if you arm the police with guns, then the gun crime would increase dramatically, the gangs and individual's would arm themselves with guns, ending in a vicious circle. Our biggest problem here in the UK is knife crime.. Shootings in the UK are very very rear. So to sum up. I really don't think arming our police with guns would solve anything, it would just increase gun crime and death. Just my opinion
We seem to be managing with a murder rate per 100,000 people ten times less than the US.
10X less likely to be wiped out in an RTA as well. And they wonder why their medical costs are the highest in the world and the outcomes worse than in comparable countries 🤣🤣
I lived in & worked in the US for a short time also, & hated it. Having arrived as a seventeen year old children's nanny, one of the first thing I was shown was where there was a gun kept & how to use it. I was told that if there was a stranger in the house shoot them then dial 911 & I'd be protected by the stand your ground laws. Then I was told that if a police officer told me to stand still, do it or they would shoot me. I'm also a Londoner, but came to the conclusion, that the US was a backward shit show of a country (sorry to any Americans reading this).
Shooting are rare!! What part of London do you live in.
@@eastlondona.m.w2886 He didn't say shootings were rare in London, he said they were rare in the UK, meaning as a whole.
@@jo.s7993 what are you talking about Manchester was the gun crime capital at one point Glasgow Liverpool Birmingham so gun crime isn't rare in the uk is it.
As a Brit I would say that the number of armed police officers is about right to counter the potential threat here. The armed officers are well trained, and are generally used as quick response units.
Are armed police are specialist trained - they are not just beat coppers given a gun on graduation after a few weeks training
@@TheWizardOfEgo
I quite agree. There is a big difference in this role either side of the Atlantic. The situation is not 'like for like'.
@@TheWizardOfEgo They are very highly trained in firearms
The British are quite use to terror attacks, we have a long history of them.
It’s the day after that we get angry.
As it usually causes the trains and buses to be delayed 😂😂
So true, we don't like our routine upset.
@@sammic7492 No we don't! Those who lived through it also didn't like thirty years of bombings, shootings & kidnappings by the IRA. All openly funded by NORAID in the good ole US of A.
Nor did I demand to see the manager or sue Transport for London the day I was led with a tube train full of passengers through a tunnel, when they closed the network because of an incident.
Americans always joke about our unarmed UK police, but don't seem to know most of our urban area is covered by Armed Response in under 10 mins. I see mine at a local McD drivethru getting coffee all the time - West Midlands.
Seen one at our local chippy.
I meet one of our local units at the petrol station
Strange isn't it. They think it's funny that our Police are unarmed, & we think it's tragic that they're Police are armed.
Where I live, and police, they're usually cruising around in unmarked BMW X5's with tinted windows. You know it's probably firearms as they drive around fast and confidently, chucking the car into corners at speed, knowing they'll come out the other side just fine.
Cheers for posting bro. This was yet another Islamic terrorist attack here in England. The three jihadis were armed with machetes and suicide vests which turned out to be fake. Check out the story of how a member of the public, Roy Larner, single-handedly took on the three terrorists when they went on their rampage. He famously laughed at them and then shouted “fcuk you … I’m millwall” (a reference to the football club he supports and who are known for their football violence 😆) as he started fighting them. He was stabbed and hacked repeatedly but survived and actually chased them off into the streets where the police sh@t them.
Or the 6/8 (?) Glasgow guys sorted out the terrorists tried to drive a car into the terminal at the airport. Was a taxi driver IIRC who kicked one of them, who had managed to set himself alight, in the nuts rather than try to put out the flames.
Or the tour guides, the Civil Servant and the Polish chef who armed with a fire extinguisher and a narwhal tusk beat down and held down the Fishmonger's Hall/London Bridge guy until cops shot him.
Yet another? There's been five. Compare it to the 100s (and far more successful on the whole), Irish terror attacks dating back to the 17th century, then wearing off and beginning with a vengeance through the 1980s and 90s until the Good Friday Agreement. Mind you, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an upsurge of Irish terrorism again, nor would I particularly blame them, since the government keep breaking the terms of the Agreement.
@maxine the Scottish taxi drivers was pure genius and could only have happened in Scotland. There's a clip on CZcams of Billy Connelly talking about it which is hilarious.
Roy is a mate of mine (Millwall) - he saved lives while 2 policemen hid , they got medals & he got pushed aside, he had anti-terror police visiting him scared that he would want revenge, he's now got PTSD & only just being recognised for his bravery, people may say they'd do this or that but he was there & he done it - words mean nothing, action counts - 🦁 come on you Lions
@@tommyxbones5126 Please shake his hand from me mate. Roy is a hero to the nation!! My 22 yo daughter popped in for a coffee a couple of weeks ago and she was asking me about my time in the foreign legion (I suffer from ptsd too) and I was trying to describe courage to her. I told her the story of Roy as an example of the epitome of true courage. She loved his immortal words “fcuk you I’m millwall”. Hope he’s getting the recognition he deservesand help with the ptsd.
I’m from the U.K. and a few years ago a drunk man was waving a replica gun around ( obviously the police didn’t know it was a replica) And hand on heart it was the most terrifying sight ever when the armed police came. They cordoned off the area and surrounded the house and I didn’t even know they were there. I think people in America are used to seeing armed police and don’t think anything of it , but if it happens over here it’s scary stuff.
First time I saw armed police was at Athens airport. The 2 officers had pistols and submachine guns. It was scary. I still feel uncomfortable when I see armed police in the UK now which is a lot more often.
@@davidsweeney4021 First time I ever saw armed security was about 45 years ago when I was on vacation. The plane made a stopover in the Middle East, and when the plane parked it was immediately surrounded by 3 armed Arab soldiers in battledress.
Some student idiots in my neighbourhood decided to make a video involving a guy with a fake firearm. Without informing anyone or, Indeed, even the authorities. It didn't work out well for them when the boys and girls in blue swiftly turned up with real firearms and made it clear to them how stupid they were being. Thankfully all that was lost that day was the students' pride...
England has been a target for terrorists for decades. First we had the IRA and we lived with that then the Islamic threat and we live through that. Terrorist threats are common.
There was one funny scene from this. The police were shouting at a group of people to get away and the image was of this bloke calmly walking away holding his pint in his hand. Don’t disturb an Englishman when drinking his after work pint, or two, or three!
"Terrorists !? Hold my beer..." 😎😃
I remember that heartwarming image.
The SAS respond to all terrorist incidents. Near the end of the footage you can see one of the specialist helicopters, they use for anti terror work within the UK. They are known informally as "blue thunder" (they're blue & white), & that alone should be a warning to terrorists, as to who's just turned up, & what they are about to encounter!
More armed Officers= quicker? Doesn't work in the States wouldn't work here.
I think the danger is if you give every cop a gun you instantly lower the quality of your armed police. As it stands every uk cop with a gun is highly trained and if you look at that unfortunate recent school shooting in the US where all those cops stood outside like raspberries while everyone got shot inside then quality surely wins over quantity. Not saying there are not well trained US cops but law of averages says that if they are all armed there will be a higher percentage of non useful ones.
Fact is more armed cops would just mean more criminals going in with guns and you'll find very few brits that want more armed police. Specific places and times maybe but overall no
A colleague of mine (I serve in a british police force), wanted to join firearms, he did a one day assessment and failed it. The first day assessment alone is extremely hard. It only gets harder for the 13 plus weeks of training after that.
Arming the regular police will just lead to more criminals being armed too, if you know all police are armed you might decide you need to be!
It helps there's no "gun counter" next to the deli in Tesco as well.
I was stopped in traffic half a mile from this when it kicked off at the Borough, scary shit. I was close to a minor bombing by the IRA in 1992
Yep. I was two blocks from an IRA bombing, but slept through. Shift work wrecks you. Have also slept through an earthquake.
Yes, they bought in the SAS, there's clips online of them arriving and leaving. The British government has to sign off on any British troops operating on British soil, it's frowned upon otherwise, which comes from overreach a very long time ago, that's why we have police protecting the guards on guard duty at various royal palaces, they will defend themselves and the palaces but will leave it to the police. The SAS were used here for entering the addresses the police had obtained during their investigations because it was terror related which could mean any type of scenario when entering, normal crime is literally just by the police.
The Westminster Bridge attack. Members of public including a person out on day release from prison actually tackled and brought the terrorist down so the police could get to him.
whenever you hear a spokesman say special forces it means the SAS
The SAS were involved in some if the raids there's a video take from a guys house you can see armed police ans the SAS behind them. Tge video cuts off as someone shouted at tge guy to stop filming so was definitely special forces.
There was an armed response to an incident in London and 1 man was carrying his pint a beer with him as he was evacuated. A very British response!
We DON'T need more armed officers. This is NOT America. LESS is MORE !!! The current level of specialist, fully trained officers can handle most situations. In the US every officer carries a gun without allowing for the fact that for every 100 human beings, at LEAST 10% must have a serious (personal or mental) issue going on in their lives at some time (?) - That's a recipe for disaster - Just saying. 😎🤔
Im originally from detroit bro but i been living in the uk for just over 6years now....i was in london visiting my grandma wen the london bridge stabbings happened back in 2019 it didnt actually bother me to much to be honest....i was scared because i had my wife and kids with me and i was scared because my grandma was meeting up with us close by...i been stabbed and shot up back home in detroit and grew up in the hood where it happens all the time so wen somebody says there somebody trying to murder people to me thats just a normal day on 7mile im just more concerned about other innocent people around me who are not used to it
I live in Manchester and my daughters best friend was at Arianna Grandes concert the night of the bombing, she still has nightmares now. But as always we mancunians stand firm and will NEVER bow down to terrorism, Manchester survived IRA bomb in 96. I know there's a video on CZcams with the actual explosion of the lorry
For some reason they decide to do all of the attacks in London around the river which happens to be next to a few firearms bases so the response is always very quick. The training they go through makes them the best firearms officers in the world and not every police officer should have a gun it should just be left the the professionals in the ARVs
Maybe it’s because how rich the history is there?
@@DezzReacts that’s why they go there but it’s a terrible place for them to go because of the police presence in the area
@@jackowens4811. They choose London as it s more newsworthy that’s why
Something that a lot of people are overlooking is the difference between the UK and the USA police training. In the USA the training ( including weapons training) is 6 months. Whereas in the U.K ( without weapons) it's 3 years. The unarmed police do sometimes go up against someone armed with a knife, that person ends up in cuffs. In the USA the criminal would be dead.
Did you notice that it was members of the public holding down the terrorist on the Westminster bridge?
The SAS never show their faces and will not let you film them.
Later that night a Dauphin helicopter nicknamed Blue Thunder landed on London Bridge , on board ....22 SAS
Two flew over my house 2 days ago- very low and fast, haven’t seen 2 before - immediately had to check news as I was worried there had been an attack somewhere.
Sorry, I replicated some of your comment before seeing it.
@jo.s7993 no problem mate
@bordersw1239 few years back there was a hijack situation on a boat near Gravesend in Kent, had the SBS circling over my house ready to board the ship, could see them in the back wearing night vision goggles, totally awesome
@@Pardus_1970 Never, ever do I want any of our military hurt, but that would have been quite something to see! I watched the Iranian embassy siege live on TV as a kid & thought Mac had blown himself up on the balcony. I was horrified, then up he popped on the other balcony! It was the most awesome thing I'd ever seen as until then, the general public had no knowledge of the SAS.
With the amount of unknown people coming across the english channel just now I guarantee it won't be long until more attacks like this happen in England
Statistics are statistics and theres a lot of it sources but..looking through some, ONS for example,it does appear that violent crime has fallen in the UK compared to the early 2000s. And it was smaller then than its ever been in our history I'm pretty sure.
1950s was the lowest, but, apart from that...
Hey I’m from UK just wanted to say yes the SAS was doin raids with the ctsfo and that helicopter you saw at the end of the clip is blue bird in other words 22 SAS helicopter. 👍👍
Lived and worked both in the US and UK (and several other countries also) Served 16 years in the British Army followed by over 30 years in the security/law enforcement arenas.
I'll leave the US arms industries/governmental agencies/Police/private citizens argument for an American to have his/her say on. Not my country so none of my business. They do what they think is right and either reap the rewards or the penalties of their own decisions. Lived and worked elsewhere where armed police is the norm also.
I'm retired now and am delighted the UK do not routinely arm or expect their Police agencies to be armed. There are specialist officers (all volunteers and trained to the very highest of protocols) who will be armed openly or have a firearm in the boot of their car amongst their other equipment. They are the final solution and even if and when deployed other channels can be utilized they will always be considered first in the knowledge that if anything goes tits up there is armed support either on the spot ready to do their job or close by ready to be deployed. Having said that I was amazed at the moments when US police I worked alongside could have quite easily and justifiably draw their weapons and use them but showed real professional restraint (often at great risk to themselves though I noticed that was focussed on themselves. When the wellbeing of a colleague accompanying them was at risk they were less inclined to accept a risk if they knew they could justify the use of a firearm. That takes a special type of selflessness and moral courage. I never heard of one who risked the wellbeing of a member of the public in those situations - yet they were willing to risk their own lives if necessary - deepest respect is due in those circumstances. You will never hear me criticizing US law officers).
This makes for a far more peaceful, less threatening environment all round. Long may this attitude toward policing and attitude of British Police Officers prevail. My wife is NY born and ex USAF - she would not consider returning to the US under any circumstance (I ask every now and again just to be sure) We left the US some 30 years ago and apart from a holiday every few years to visit family she has not returned/wanted to return. She cites - weapons/paranoia/crime levels as some of the reasons for thinking so. I am no stranger to firearms as a tool in order to get a job done but outside of the US I have never felt the requirement or desire to own one. I routinely had a 9mm pistol and a carbine when living in the states. Happy to never have to pick up a firearm again.
15 years lived in US in 3 different states. Married to guy from MA. Raised 3 kids between here and the US. Back in UK for 10 years. Only return to visit in-laws.
@@maxinekennedy5888 Hope your bloke learns to appreciate the differences between here and there as my beloved has done Maxine. We have our problems here for sure (and some just cannot or should not be sugar coated) but as an overall package the UK is tough to beat (admittedly there are some areas in the UK it might be considered out of the frying pan into the fire though) We lived in CA and FL - enjoyed the experiences which came with that but was just as happy to leave them behind as I was to find them in the first place. Horses for course naturally, I met Brits in the US who would not dream of coming back but just as many Septics who had lived here as USAF members or civilians contracted to UK firms who rued the day they took the promotion/contract to return to the states when they could or should have opted to remain here.
Take care and regards to imported septic!
@@Scaleyback317 He loves it in UK. Spent time here before we married. We already turned down two chances to go back. The kids(22 & graduated from world ranked UK uni, 19 attending world ranked UK uni and 17 about to apply for top ranked UK universities) see their futures in UK/Europe/anywhere but USA. Issues of ditching dual nationality/change of citizenship on hold...for now. Best wishes to you and your happy import from me and mine.
@@maxinekennedy5888 The dual citizenship problem (should be an asset, only the US could work hard enough to make it seem like an anchor round your neck though eh!?) Same goes for facta and the tax concerns. I know of people born in the US who have not be able to open bank accounts for fear of the tax headaches it all brings once the British banks see place of birth as it presents them with an administrational hurdle they'd rather not have to contend with.
Fortunately I never took US citizenship and the resident alien label is a far easier one to cut out one's life.
Well done on having two such bright youngsters and congrats to them on their ability to match the brain with the sweat to acheive what they have.
You may or may not be aware of the efforts being made by the democrats to bring the plight of those caught up in the tangled red tape to a comfortable conclusion. Not sure what the efforts/response of the Republicans or Republicans abroad may be to the problem.
@@Scaleyback317. Can’t resist, your septic’s are missing a C. 🙂
I've always been happy that our police are unarmed, less chance of fatalities and they are more approachable, I would think twice approaching an armed officer such as at train stations then I would the normal one. But the sad fact is our country is changing for the worst, unheard of violent crimes are rife in some areas due I believe by foreign criminals coming here and the knive culture in many large cities by gangs, the police need more protection whether guns or more equipment such as tazers. It's really sad to see how the country has declined and worry for my kids future. You should react to the 7/7 terror attacks, I remember that well
Says you.
It depends on where you live. most of the UK is very safe... I grew up in the 70s/ 80s and it was extremely violent, particularly at weekends where there was football on.
Read about Glasgow airport a cab driver broke his foot kicking the terrorist in the balls
I don't think they needed more armed police I think they were right in the way they handled it getting the public out the way as soon as possible and strategically getting in place to take them down. It's not quantity its getting knowledge of what your dealing with, team strategy and careful manoeuvre that matters.
We have enough armed officers, what we have do the job..
You should try to find a video of the guy fighting off a terrorist with a narwhal tusk.
2017 saw the worst terrorist incidences in 1 year in Britain with the Westminster Bridge attack where someone used a vehicle as a weapon along the bridge itself killing 4 pedestrians and then the terrorist got out and stabbed a Police Officer in the grounds of Palace of Westminster.
Manchester Arena Bombing during an Ariana Grande concert in which 23 people died including the bomber himself and a further 1,017 people sustained injuries.
London Bridge attack which saw another vehicle being used as a weapon to mow down pedestrians which lead to subsequent stabbings in Borough Market cost the lives of 8 people injuring 48 others.
Finsbury park attack where a vehicle was used as a weapon. 1 person died and a further 10 injured.
Parsons Green train bombing resulted in 30 people injured from an IED explosion on board an underground tube train.
We have guns, but try to make sure they are in the hands of the right people.
You think if our police were armed they could have got there and killed then quicker than 8 minutes?? That’s amazing timing and I’m happy our police are how they are rather than your police
I’m 69 and I can’t remember time, except when I was very young when there wasn’t some sort of terrorism in the UK or Europe. The red Brigrade. IRA etc I’m not sure how America would’ve coped. They would’ve gone over the top on something as usual.
I remember the bombings through the 80s and 90s it's nothing new .
This happened a few years ago there was 3 people involved with samurai swords attacking people
What Rock mate have you been living in, we in England especially in London have had terrorist attacks by Muslim extremists also in Manchester. They have been on American TV News. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
The SAS and SBS do accompany the police on antiterrorist raids
About 30 years ago, I went with my partner at the time to London for a meal for Christmas. It was at a time when the IRA were still a threat. There had been a bomb warning made by the IRA, they had to evacuate the area and the restaurant we were eating at gave us the food for free to take out 👍🏻 I’ve lived in London all my life and grew up with the threat of the IRA, I also had Irish parents so I felt somewhat conflicted but killing innocent people is never the solution.
When the narrator is says suicide Vest/Belt, it means there is a bomb on the vest or belt that will go off to kill people around
What like the school shooting in America where they stood outside whilst he killed kids .inside .
un armed police is a strange one , especially in this instance.
That kid that attacked the Manchester arena(ariana grande) concert was under watch by MI5 and somehow he slipped through the net????how is anybodies guess
This attack was at London Bridge. Like others have said London is kind of use to terrorist attacks of some kind. Been going on for ever.
If your a terrorist and you meet the SAS while committing an act of terrorism measure what’s left of your life in seconds.
Just for context, out of roughly 140k or so police officers throughout the UK, fewer than 7 thousand are trained in firearms, and as you've seen by this, they respond to the most serious of incidents. You hardly think they exist here due to how low in numbers they are, however when called out you'll know, and you would regret it if you were the suspect who has warranted armed police response.
Quite the contrast from what I expect you have to deal with in America?
I feel he should react to the public attacking those terrorists with the tusk
No! More guns result in more guns & more deaths. Our Police have the skills & courage to defeat most threats & they know when to call on the armed force.
We don't want regular armed officers. This stuff is rare in the UK. But we do have excellent armed police and canine units.
Because funding is low we don't tend to have "bobbies on the beat" much anymore, but when police are called for something serious they usually turn up pretty quickly to deal with it.
We don't need regular police to have guns, they're pretty well trained and gun crime is usually gang or organised crime related.
I cannot see if anyone else has already answered your query, so here goes. Suicide vests are like gilets/armless jerkins, with home made bombs strapped around the terrorists bodies. The bombs often contain nails or ball bearings to cause maximum bodily damage to those innocently standing or walking near them when the decide to detonate. The SAS isn't needed for such incidents. Our specialists armed Police Units are more than capable of dealing with immediate attacks and incidents. As witnessed in the video. The UK people and police had quite a lot of practice in the past dealing with IRA terrorist bombings (Irish Republican Army) prior to the Good Friday Agreement, but unfortunately other terrorist groups have since moved into their vacated spaces. Although not welcome at the time, especially given that the USA was a large source of income for the IRA to blow up innocent members of the public, children and sadly on occasions tourists, as I say it gave us practical experience to counter what the little so and so's get up to now.
A friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver in the early 70s he was hit at 140 mph on the Talgarth Road London the car went through a red light as he crossed hit Him and knocked him over a 100 yards up the road and went over him again as he hit the road in front of him when they went to put him in the body bag his body was like Jelly he broke every bone in his body he was a big man of 6’7” it took 6 police and ambulance men to pick him up they got the driver up the road sitting in his car with a drink in his hand he got 15 years in jail
Your country has a rule that your Army cannot operate on your own soil (apart from National Guard, and even then there are restrictions) - the UK doesn't have that rule. And with our history with the IRA and other terror attacks (as well as dealing with the aftermath of the Blitz during WW2 and the explosives we are _still_ finding to this day), we absolutely make use of our various military assets to deal with domestic threats. So yeah, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the SAS has been involved on multiple occasions. There's a reason why we have sent our experts to other countries when _they've_ had terrorist incidents to deal with, and to help train them up. I believe we even sent our experts over to the USA after 9/11 as well, to help you guys train for any possible future incidents and the best way to deal with them.
Guns on our streets are _so_ much more terrifying an experience, because we're just not exposed to them on the level the USA is, and so they haven't become "the norm" and something people are used to living with. Though I would never go as far as say the UK is _better_ in that regard, because our knife problems are equivalent to your gun problems. And yes, you can absolutely do a mass-killing with "just" knives - you don't need a gun to do that - which is what a lot of people get wrong when they compare the UK to the USA.
UK knife crime "problem" no where near as bad as US gun issue. When was the last time someone killed 60 people from a Blackpool hotel room by throwing knives down at them?
And ask the Iranians who ended a siege at their embassy 🤣🤣
@@maxinekennedy5888 So, I just did a bit more research and ... yeah turns out I am _completely_ wrong. Couldn't have been MORE wrong, in fact. I had always heard that knife crime in the UK was on-par with gun crime in the US (from many different sources), but it's not even _CLOSE_
The USA actually has _worse_ knife crime (more killings per 100k people) than even the UK, _on top_ of their gun crime. Like they are in the _thousands_ compared to our hundreds. It's still not great, hundreds of deaths a year is _still_ far, far too many. But thousands? And those crimes _never_ make the news in the US - I've yet to see a single news report from a US news channel talking about knife crime and how bad it is. It's _always_ about guns.
So yeah, my bad on this one. You are absolutely right, so thank you for bringing it to my attention and correcting me on it. That'll teach me to do better research in the future.
@@DavidStruveDesigns Yep. Never believe what you hear. They told you Santa was real for years until you figured out even your family were liars. 🤣Enjoy the rest of your day 😊
Honestly, my mind has been absolutely blown by finding this out. Doubly so because it gets _zero_ focus or reporting.
@@lulusbackintown1478 Whilst I don't disagree that a gun can kill more people far more quickly than a knife, depending on the "skill" of the gunman, you realise you can kill someone with a knife ... with a single stab right? It can literally take less than two seconds. You might want to look up some of the knife attacks recorded from London or around the UK that end up on here or other websites. It might surprise you. And there has been mass-stabbings that have happened over a very short amount of time too. It's really not any better than getting shot, to be honest. Not sure which one I'd pick if I absolutely _had_ to choose - but I know I'd rather take a bullet to the brain and go down instantly than be forced to watch my entire blood volume leak out of me with no way to stop it. I'd rather not die in absolute fear and terror.
I believe there's a sas unit in London 24/7
was this one where they gaffa taped knifes into their hands and went a rampage. the one where they pissed of a millwall fan how fought them with a bar stool when one of them tried to get into a pub.
Never pick on a Millwall fan 😀
They didn't actually show the "juice" in this, look em up though, it is on YT.
I believe this was the terror attack on London Bridge and Borough Market on June 3th 2017. Three Islamist terrorists with knives strapped to their hands jumped out of a van and started slashing and stabbing people out on the street just walking about and at street cafes, bars, etc. Eight people were killed and 48 injured.
After previous terror attacks, the armed police had had their policy changed. Previously, they were meant to challenge any threat with a command like "Stop - armed police" first, but after their procedures were modified, they had permission to shoot without warning if the threat was identified to be serious enough.
There is footage of the armed police unit that pulled up and shot the terrorists. They reacted so quickly they didn't even put their vehicle in park - you can see it roll off down the road as the cops take down their targets! 😅Look for "CCTV Shows Police Shooting London Bridge Attackers" from the Wall Street Journal YT channel.
Even though gun culture is different over here in the uk you do see armed officers patrolling the streets around the Crown Courts when something Big is going on. I work in Chester (England)and see them on a regular basis. But where I live in north wales 🏴 in the country side, shotguns are a normal thing. I beg to think how many my next door neighbour has.
You can see the SAS in action if you look up the Iranian Embassy (London) raid in 1980.
Wow, like man, bro. I don't know what... but wow dude like man bro oh my god dude bro man....
Wot?
Excellent work !!! 👍
Every police station should have an armed police response unit, especially in the big Cities
Every county does. They are strategically placed around the county for fast response times. They will respond in the same time or faster times than normal response officers.
Good to hear
I think we have a good number of armed officers and as they're a specialist unit and very well trained it is better this way. They're also scary af and armed to the teeth😅 there was a double murder suicide in my block and they rolled up and brought out some HEAVY kit. Our police are trained far more in deesclatation than US police and also our armed police are far more trained so theres less "i got scared and shot an innocent person" occuring on a normal day to day issue. US policing scares me because they've all got guns and the training isn't good enough imo so someone gets a little nervous and a situation that was just an argument becomes someone shot dead. Here its much more militant so theres only armed police if you're a genuine threat. When it comes to counter terrorism we also have the even further specilist unit of counter terrorism police, armed officers who volunteer for extra training and they're very military like but still with the police deesclatation tactics.
I also know someone who was hit in the bridge attack. He was a police officer off duty and was badly injured. It was a crazy time, especially as my area is a terrorist hotbed that had people involved in many attacks including some of these (High wycombe)
DezzReacts, do you feel your life is safer for living in a country where the public can legally own guns, or in a country like the UK where only authorised people can carry a gun (and that is usually only when needed).
I know this is a volatile area but I think I would personally feel scared living in a country where my neighbour may own a gun.
One of my sons will be marrying his American girlfriend in LA and living with her there and I am already concerned due to this issue. It is the only thing that bothers me😞
Love you vids - please keep them coming.
Love from the UK x
Brit street cops to not carry guns but those that do know what they are doing
i think it must be hard to patrol an assualt rifle alll day in a public area
Never ever drink and drive
Armed Police are always close by if needed.
thank you roy ❤ irons
❤ your reacts, 😂 how things shock you ,
❤️🔥
They were suicide bombers
When all is said and done, as a married mum of 4, if a stranger ever broke into my home where the 5 most important people in my life were, its a gun I'd be wanting. Gun have saved absolutely thousands of lives in the US. Nut cases will always end up killing people, gun, knives, cars, bombs. But being a sitting duck in our homes is a terrifying thought sometimes.
Maybe I watch too many true American crime videos but it seems to me that quite few families in the US get wiped out in home invasions even with all the guns owned.
I think it is 34
This was a false flag.
Disgusting insult to the eight victims
Based on the meticulous research of "Trust me, Bro" university and the department of Internet Wankers. Go lick the carpet in your mother's basement you mouth-breathing sheep.
In the hope of achieving what exactly? Oh hang on a minute, anybody with the clearance to know such a thing, would not be posting about it in the comments section on CZcams....would they Einstein.
Police 💯 should carry guns all times , any country
That's a matter for each country to determine through it's democratic decision making systems and based on the amount and type of crime and criminals they have.
