I remember that video coming up again after the Uvalde school shooting.
Cracked, you have my vote 2024!
Very true...
Is there any doubt that the phrase "Free Speech" is infinitely scary because it means "The Opposite Of Rule Of Law" (and it's too scary for mankind to be able to think "it's a different story when _______ says it" about anyone saying it. It's literally the exact same no matter who says it, no matter which conversation it is ), and that this is a meaningless video with no black, no white, and no sound?
There's nothing honorable about that man. His regime has insulted me. I dislike his leader. There is no greater threat to Biology's Ability/Likelihood Of Enjoying Reality than that barbaric regime, which does not openly claim that its goal is to end scientific discovery by trying with us to reach a point where there cannot possibly be anything left to discover. It is a contagious dark age. Whatever it was which has insulted me and insulted the rule of law is what I guarantee you or I will be legally required to kill because if my constant and endless efforts. I was insulted to such a degree that it is impossible for me to be considered to be able to imagine that it's possible for anyone else to have been insulted more than me, nor that I could have been insulted more.
As I have written yesterday, to some official in that failure-infected regime:
Is there any doubt that when I file with the UNHCR to become a refugee because of your malpractice, that it will be bigger than Putin for every American, and that all I need to do is to tell you to imagine me broadcasting the following message in order for you to take arms against your coworkers as you are irresistibly tempted to do due to your mental illness:
"Yes we did begin to influence The West, but Europeans rebelled by making textbooks which assert that the symptoms of [failure experienced by] A European Civilization In Decline are the characteristics of other civilizations.
For example, Europeans print textbooks saying that Aztecs did human sacrifices in order to satisfy the sun's hunger, instead of saying that we killed them in coliseums because they are savages who cannot distinguish fire from darkness. That [fictitious] poem of theirs does resemble The Quran in its tone in my opinion. But I'm not close enough to Islamic leadership to know anything about it (any Islamic thing) and am struggling to afford enough food as a refugee in a country where 10kg bananas are 1.50usd after 29 years of training myself to become the one who will 'end them' without any chance of me not 'ending them', whether or not I die, and no matter what response any individual or nation may do (or may be imagined to do). I think I can just be a Communist like my dad and it will all be ok. At least you guys understand what fire is."
Is there any doubt that "braindead loser" means someone who counts/checks how much hope he or she has (and ends up never reacting to his or her own hope), rather than reacting to the reality of the existence of that hope?

maybe i should email the owner of Wikipedia or something. it's probably more proper to tell Him rather than Elon Musk, who is just a random stranger in this situation. maybe the Wikipedia people will REALLY like this idea. and they are still powerful in America. maybe our idea will make them much more powerful. it's completely their choice to react in a proper way.

Because being poor means that I can only pay attention to commands, and if I'm not holding a gun I'd rather be dead) Studying [genetics] was war, driving Uber was war, being excluded from getting an inheritance since I was born was also war, and now what I'm doing is called Losing A War In rural Asia (because you'll never be a Chinaman).

Do you think I'm lying or that my life (so far) has existed just to guilt trip you (or appears to exist just to guilt trip you)?

It's like betraying yourself after you promised to try to ensure that it would be impossible to cross paths with that individual [or rather, suspect].

Opinions are like tattoos: the only time multiple people have the same opinion is when they are ganging up on the entire rest of the world in an intimidating way which should be illegal.
Is there any doubt that only someone who is coincidentally idle at the moment due to chance (which one considers to be bad luck) can be the one who will solve the problem we all face (since everyone else is preoccupied and responding to THEIR complaints won't change anything in the world [it's definitely been done before])?
How can someone NOT be a "self-starter" at Surviving?
Because we all know that the transformation of the medical industry from shamanism to surgery is too ....gaudy for the human mind to be able to observe it properly (and that it is appropriate to say this in any place in the world in which Leonardo DaVinci is part of their school curriculum):
this is a "very medical place of the world". they do very strange things in school which make us all feel uncomfortable. they told us in school that a man named Leonardo DaVinci invented anatomy by illegally digging up graves and then drawing the bodies as he dissected the bodies. maybe DaVinci is also a folk tale (like Newton, who we know was just a way to push the textbook As A Medium (other mediums being newspapers and tv news broadcasts. I doubt that it's possible for a crazy criminal who goes to graveyards and illegally digs up dead bodies and draws them in some disgusting notebook to have been immortalized in our school curriculum.
Was Lenin right about Hippocrates? (Hippocrates created a party which believes non-doctors are basically illegal immigrants, even if they were the general or prime minister, and I would say that Russian history probably hates Hippocrates)
Also, what if we say these things in a place where DaVinci is NOT part of the curriculum?

Police officer of 7 years in the UK here. I will say that in all that time I have only once been in a situation where I thought “a firearms unit would have been good to have here” as one was not available, myself and my colleague relied heavily on tactical communication and the use of less lethal options (in this case a Taser) after the incident it transpired that the person in question was actually suicidal and was hoping firearms officers would turn up and shoot her. Instead she was detained and conveyed to a 136 mental health ward for treatment.
Suicide by cop is a pretty big issue
How do your mental wards compare to US mental facilities?
Honest question from an American Psychology + CJ student.
America closed nearly all of its mental health facilities they are walking the streets homeless
@@commanderty94 As someone who's lived in both the US and Europe I can tell you that in Europe it's quite tricky to get proper mental health care. Waiting lists are often long and the help you get often feels like it's not enough. Though if you stick with it you will get help and you have a fair shot at making actual progress.
In the US however mental health care was virtually impossible to get and prohibitively expensive. At least it was in Georgia. Also doctors in the US seemed almost giddy at the idea of prescribing medication to the shock and horror of my therapist in Europe. I guess if you're upper middle class or higher then mental health care in the US is better but for your average person I'd recommend Europe any day of the week.
@@commanderty94
In all honesty, mental health services in the UK are awful. The NHS is overwhelmed attending incidents, and their triage process does not allow them to easily leave one incident to attend another, as such we often get told by the control room that there are no ambulances available and we are given essential estimated wait times of anywhere from 4 to 12 hours on average. Often as a result the police get used to attend what should be ambulance calls due to their lack of staff.
Police have the power to detain people under S136 of the mental health act if we believe they are a risk to themselves or others, but only in a public place. Once detained they must be transported to “a place of safety” which is ideally a mental health unit, not all hospitals have them and those which are specially mental health wards don’t have an A&E (what we call ER) so if someone detained also has a physical injury they have to go to A&E first then the MH ward.
The biggest problem is trying to find a MH ward with a free bed. One shift I recall the closest ward was over 100 miles away in another county.
I love how hes slowly being talking into jail why trying to explain why he would get away with crimes if they banned guns.
Yeah that's hilarious.
Arrested more than once. That's how it goes. You step in and get chatting. By the time your done, your in the cage with no idea how you got there.
I've heard that described as "verbal judo" when I worked as a security guard.
An observation that would go over the heads of the audience that might benefit from it as it involves TWO parallel processes. TWO! That one too many. 🤷🏻♂
bro fix your sentence please
I have always wondered why lying and manipulation is allowed by our US law enforcement, and yet its illegal in the court room... Truly a great injustice
It's because America is a police state that serves the wealthiest at the expense of everyone else. Doubt me? A Supreme Court decision excuses all police from the requirement to do - literally anything - to protect a citizen if they don't feel like it. Look it up.
The logic here is that, since criminals are perfectly willing to lie about being innocent to avoid jail time, it should be okay to lie to them to get them talking.
Understand that the British court system balances that out. Things like staying silent are permissible as evidence of wrongdoing.
It's because we value successful prosecutions over actually reducing crime for budgetary purposes. The Police don't get more money from actually catching criminals or reducing crime. They get more money by issuing citations and putting people in jail, regardless of actual guilt.
@@AlexandarHullRichter that sounds like a recipe for police to try to put people in jail. And thay have the ability to lie, so they can blackmail you so...
Bravo jordan, for digging cracked's corpse up and reanimating it without that sour zombie flavour. You're doing great.
Hey I legitimately really appreciate that!
@@cracked i remember reading the article this animation was based off
I have to say I do appreciate the higher emphasis on de-escalation. Insane how many situations you see where the cops forget they're just people and not "the law" who needs to be worshipped. Someone gets a little annoyed, angry or disrespectful and suddenly the situation is very different
Here in Denver we have the STAR program where medical techs and behavioral health clinicians are deployed to low risk mental health issues, unhoused issues, poverty issues, and substance abuse issues, instead of cops. It's been a huge success since being implemented in 2020, reducing low level crime and saving the city money. It's also great because the DPD is one of the most unprofessional and aggressive police departments I've ever encountered. The less people having to interact with them, the better.
It's because most of the cops have fragile egos, and if you don't respect their authority, they'll find a way to punish you. Sad, and rage inducing.
American cops are fascists.
I always remember the story, where US cops were called to help a suicidal man and the cops came, shot the man's dog and arrested him.
Or the one where they shot a toddler-girl, while trying to shoot her dog, that wasn't even doing anything.

@@dchaney801 the UK uses the metric system for some stuff, imperial measures for others. Buy vegetables in kg, drive home in mph.
It's weird that police are allowed to actually frame you or get you to admit to a crime even when you committed none.
Being allowed to lie to anyone including the victim and the suspect seems crazy to me. Lying to get a confession makes no sense. That how you get false confessions. By scaring people into believing you have things you don't.
Even worse is that they are sometimes even encouraged to do so, depending on who the leadership is.
So our police *technically* aren't allowed to lie, but that doesn't mean they don't... They still have the same, horrendous attitude of assuming anyone who isn't a cop is automatically a criminal, have no interest in arresting their colleagues for actual crimes and the IOPC are absolutely useless at investigating complaints.
Just because we have documents claiming police aren't allowed to do vile acts, doesn't mean they don't or that they don't get away with it because who's going to arrest them? Certainly not other cops!
@@Lady_Crispr question someone for hours on end and stressing a pressuring them with the only hope of going home is bound to make people admit to things they didn't do. Even worse how we have a justice system that tells people to confess for lighter punishment even when they are innocent
@@DPowered2 I wouldn't call what we have a justice system. It's a feeder for slavery.

@@jbw2109 I’m usually good at accents though. 😔
in germany all cops have guns and we have equal statistics when it comes to how many ppl are shot, so it cant just be the gun alone that is the cause
The driving factor behind police shootings in America, is without a doubt the fact that civilians are so well armed. I bet a lot of those cop shootings involved the suspect shooting at the cop as well.
@@danielponcianodiaz176 you'll never get rid of them here. Besides the fact that we build crazy things for funzies like alcohol burning cars just to go fast before they blow up, so we can build it again, airplanes and mud trucks. All things far more complicated than any firearm. We know how to make them and many of us have been making our own for generations. Our firearm and building traditions saved Great Britain. Twice! And is covering for NATO currently. It takes more than a few weeks to learn how to actually be proficient with a firearm. Many of us have been marksmen since childhood. It doesn't work like in the movies. On top of that, with open borders and cartels itching to take control of such a black market, angry machinists that lost their jobs due to the evaporation of a civilization market looking for revenge. Trying to ban guns here would be like trying to ban the Menorah in Israel. Anyway, soldiers of your nation would rather fight beside us than against us for a very good reason. 😏
I guess German officers are taught more restraint when it comes to actually using them + more communication strategies.
@@danielponcianodiaz176 honestly citizens being armed isn’t the problem I imagine. When it comes to America’s gun problem, some statistics would show big numbers ignoring the size of the country (as in when the video brought up the number of shootings thinking it fair to compare the US population to a tiny island). Though we also see statistics showing how much crime is prevented by citizens through gun usage by reports like the cdc. I got off track but the problem for the US is poor regulation ( as in there are cases were police are literally warned about a dangerous person having a gun and fail to properly detain him in time or properly inspect him. Another problem being proper training for police officers, then again this also varies from state to state seeing each state is basically its own country with different standards. There is probably more that I can’t think of right now, but I feel this video poorly showed the problem and felt more like “guns were bad” and “haha UK better than US” and not pointing UK’s flaws with acid related crime and so on. (Also if anyone has anything to counter what I said I’m willing to listen maybe I’m missing something since I’m not from the US I’m just coming from an outside perspective from what I read and own opinions)
@@mounibj4586 my point isn’t that we need to remove guns from citizens, which I don’t believe to be the least bit practical, but rather it makes no sense to take away guns from American police considering the sheer amount of firearms available to the public.
As a Brit, everything the Copper said seemed completely normal. To see this as "New Information" seems bizarre to me

As an American, I'm very jealous of your basic deductive reasoning skills that your average Joe American doesn't have because they believe handguns and rifles are the only thing protecting us from a tyrannical government. 🤦♂️ So ignore the haters, you definitely have the right idea.
@@destrokerr it's common sense history tells us this ever heard of a man named Hitler or a man named sterling?
I had a lesser panic attack when he said "twirl his glock".
A firearm that only has a trigger safety. AAAAAAAAAAAA
I worked general population as prison guard in the US military. Our weapons were a pen, a radio (which brought more guards), and our personality. Incidents of inmate attacking cadre were extremely rare outside of close confinement.
I worked gate guard and was issued an m17, oc spray, baton, radio, and hand cuffs
This is why I believe all cops should train and work in prisons first, before they get on the street. You learn really fast how to talk to people the right way and get what you want when it’s you vs. 100 inmates and you don’t have a gun. Communication and de-escalation skills is the number one thing street cops should learn
@@bam8034 I disagree. I firmly disagree, you may learn those skills youre talking about, but most guys I know who go from CO to PO are dicks. The rules in the correction system are very different then on the streets, alternative, Im big on PD getting more medical training EMR, or EMT. Teaches you a little something about bedside manner.
My understanding is that this is so that inmates can't overpower a guard and arm themselves with a firearm. Is that correct?

Excuse me, it was an epic shootout.
there are definitely still issues with the police in the UK, but compared to the US this is a fair depiction
It's easy when people respect the law but here in the US do to a vast number of reasons there's specific groups of people that pride themselves in killing cops being a police officer in the the United States especially in certain cities is the equivalent of being in a active war zone they call Chicago chiraq for a reason comparing both populations and their police force doesn't make sense what work with one country won't work in another it's like trying to compare mexican gun policy with the UK mexico has some of the toughest gun policies in the world but still has a major problem with cartels and gun related homicides much worse then in the US

There's a reason British talking heads are always opining about "knife crimes" while American ones are discussing "mass shootings".
There’s a reason, German heads don’t talk about many violent crimes at all. Cops have them and citizens don’t problem solved. England is a mess as soon as someone out arms a cop.
Both are horrible and knife crime more common than a mass shooting
Actually guns have never had any meaningful correlation to the rate of murder in any country. Mass shootings are an oddity, guns are used to defend against criminals more than they are to commit crimes, etc.. They're actually incredibly impractical for most crimes, given the fact that firing one off almost immediately signals that something is wrong to the police. A knife as such is almost always the better option.
@@eugene9211 Everything you just said is nonsense. Assuming you're comparing first-world developed nations, the homicide rate (all types) for the U.S. is ~5.00 per capita. For the UK, it's 1.2; Canada 1.6; Australia 1.9, and all EU nations around or below 1.0.
Also, every. Single. Blind. Study. has shown again and again that only about TWO PERCENT of gun injuries/fatalities are actual self defense. More than half are suicides/attempted suicide, and most of the rest are murder/assault. Accidental death/injury is about 10%. These numbers vary from city to city and state to state, but unless you are deliberately misrepresenting data, the idea that "guns are mostly used to defend against criminals" has NO basis in reality.
@@bangormc3rd562 Pretty sure that I've read reports stating that guns were very rarely used for crimes. Most gun related injuries come as a result of accidents, self violence, etc..
Further more you're also not considering the fact that after banning guns in the UK, Japan, and basically every other nation, there was no definitive change in the rate of homicides or deaths. The UK actually had a higher homicide rate after banning guns, although that could merely be down to coincidence.
America's high homicide rate has to do with the fact that it's more industrialized and urban, alongside the fact that most cities are horrible places to live. Homelessness is very high here and there are far more low wealth areas which receive far less federal aid than they would in a European country. And as such there's a much higher rate of crime than in the UK. Only a miniscule percentage of violent crimes even involve guns. 5, maybe 10 percent even involve guns. What, you're saying that 10 percent contributes to most of the homicides despite all evidence to the contrary?
In a previous life I had experience in law enforcement and I will tell you this works.
It's called verbal judo. It's the art of listening to the suspect while formulating your next sentence but also understanding and empathizing with the suspect.
I've seen guys talked off of ledges seen guys being talked to and by the end of it they give you their knife or their weapon without the use of deadly force and more law enforcement agencies need to practice this
Aye, that would be effective when both parties can understand each other and doesn't prone to violence.
Though looking at American media, I don't think most people there are the understanding sort and would speak over one another than to listen. Even you do listen, the other guy is so deep in their belief that they won't budge from their stance to the point of illogical sense and most often backed by a crowd.
So you're saying the trick is to hand over one weapon while whipping out a second?
So I cant speak about many other states but Ohio's academies are 756 (might be up to 816 or more now, every year they add another 10 hours or so) and of those 40-60 hours are dedicated to verbal judo directly, with every scenario we do incorporating our verbal judo skills in some way. We also get 4 relavent books on the subject as suggested reading.

Came across a stolen motorbike parked in some trees, while I was caught short on the way from the pub. Looked like the bike (it looked really expensive at lest 8000 quids worth) had been nicked (lock was jimmied) but was hidden in a bush, so the guy who stole it could go back and ride it whenever. So waved down a passing policecar by the road, full of coppers, the car pulled around, and the police wanted to arrest me for taking a leek against a tree from 10 minutes ago when I found it, (as they saw the wee mark).
So moral of the story, don't talk to the Police or report a crime. They hate doing paperwork and resent you for bothering them, even if you just recovered someone's stolen property worth upwards of 8 grand.
When talking to them just say "yes sir', "no sir", "what sexual position do you want me in sir".
Ah love to see someone else using the term jimmied
They hate paperwork, but wanted to arrest you for something that is not really a crime, if it offended no public decency (and a dog or fox could have done it?)
Did everyone clap?
They wouldn't have wanted to arrest you in order to reduce paperwork...and if they wanted to arrest you they would have.

Removing guns from the U.S., impossible, it's too ingrained. While they are trying to change law enforcement here the justice system is way too lenient as far as bail goes (another revolving door money system). Mental health is actually the bigger issue. To be forward, MH is pathetic in this country. There aren't enough places to treat and help these poor individuals so many end up homeless and desperate. Of course people should be held accountable for their actions but at least get the person treatment that will help.
There's literally more guns in America than people and there's 320 million people .... yea do the math
it's not only impossible, it's unconstitutional. they are part of the constitution, which makes things even more complicated. only way is to begin removing articles from the constitution. for that you need agreement of everyone (good luck) and once you begin editing out one article from a constitution, over time what's stopping you from editing out others. like it happened in my country in the early 20th century when the leader at the time was like "eeeh this democracy thing doesn't work for me", started removing articles from the constitution because he could and we ended up with a dictatorship for nearly 50 years until it was overthrown. it's a very fine line. just glad guns aren't in our constitution xD
As a South African living in the Netherlands, your write up is spot on.
Basically the truth.
There's a similar issue with car recalls. So many cars; it is just easier to not send it back and continue using a faulty product.
I think its more have to do with culture than mental health. The problem that its no longer wrong or shameful to be a criminals in some parts of the US. Its really become accepted and even cheered to be thugs and gangsters who shoot at police.
i learned about using "stones" as a measurement first in a "little britain" weightwatchers skit, so i thought for some time that it was a joke that went over my head
14 lb = 1 stone. We still use it for weighing people sometimes. Ingredients though are grams & kilograms

"I'm an American, we don't believe in concussions." Sounds like a guy I sparred with. 🤣
I don't know if policing has devolved in America or if our tactics and training are just that bad, but something is definitely broken. My great uncle was in the Navy in WW2. After that, he came home and spent around 30 years as a Sherriff's Deputy. He could count the number of times he drew his weapons on a person "on two hands with fingers to spare" and he had only fired his weapon twice, both times on rabid animals. That's because people in his hometown knew him. He policed around his own neighborhood. Most times, he just had to enforce public safety or intervene when people were having a bad day. Uncle Eddie had no higher education or extensive training, but he did know people and that was enough.
There used to be a program called COP, community oriented policing, essentially it was to make every cop into andy griffin, worked reaply well. Then people complained to city council that they didnt want cops around anymore because it made it harder to commit crimes when everyone was buddies with their local beat cop. That and officer discretion started to get stripped away more and more, mandatory sentencing etc, so now most cops are stuck in their cars waiting for someone to call them, proactive policing is frowned upon and if you do make a good arrest and prevent a crime good chance is that youre being moved to the most dangerous patrol and being given the shitty shifts as punishment to force you to quit before the ink dries on the arrest paperwork.
Yup, this is my home country and interactions with law enforcement is truly a different experience. I was astonished when coming to the US to see how readily available firearms are. Especially when I saw them right next to the toy section at my local Wal Mart, lol. But I always have to explain to my British family that the US culture is so radically different I’m not sure if there is any way to create the same kind of system
Your opinion stopped mattering here in 1776.
Probably for the best, in England you can get arrested for telling a joke
Probably not at this point. Most of US culture is based on willful ignorance. Fir example the nationalist though that the US is number one, when irs statistically untrue, the missunderstanding of the second ammendment, and the overall lack of understanding other cultures. It shows in the fact that its harder fir a US citizen to get citizenship in other countries. I don't blame most actually developed countries for not wanting Americans coming there to stay.
@@mews8812 Fantastic generalization of one of, if not the most ethnically and geographically diverse multicultural nation in the world that also happens to have the highest number of immigrants. America will always be the melting pot and we’re extremely proud of that.
Your opinion still does not matter. It means absolutely nothing.
Walmart doesnt sell firearms anymore. If you where here in the last- oh, say 5 years those guns you saw where actually BB or pellet guns... which arent regulated at all and are a decent training vehicle to teach gun safety and marksmenship to children and young adults.

@@GnarledStaff Well talk about a silverbullet fix, WOO, AMERICA!
SMGs are very, very simple to make at home with basic metalworking skills and tools. Far easier than a flintlock musket ever was. Don't collect things, collect skills. Things can be taken, skills are yours forever. You practice these skills, soon enough you can build yourself a German MG42. One of the prerequisites to winning a small arms production contract with the military is the weapon must be cheap and easy to manufacture, so as to be sure that you can keep your troops supplied without causing undue stress in other more important areas. As a result, military arms are among the easiest to manufacture at home. Most of the most famous and successful arms were first made by a guy tinkering in his home workshed. You only need big tooling and factories for mass production. To build your own, a vertical mill and a lathe is suitable to make just about any small arm any military in the world ever used.
I assume it's a little harder to make the bullets
@@trailersic bullet making is a whole hobby onto itself that many shooters take part in. Necessary if you have antique arms that chambered in cartridges that haven't been in production for many years. The most modern technology you need to make most any small arm and ammunition has been available since 1897. None of it is new. Like anything else, you can challenge yourself and learn new things with each build. You develop a lot of skill and knowledge, especially via mistakes. The patent office is a great source of ideas too! Remember, if you aren't manufacturing to sell, patent law doesn't apply. You don't have the narrowing margins that manufacturers are limited by. Making your own ammunition applies as well. You can develop, test, dream up anything you want and test it. It's really fun if you get into that sort of thing.
Problem is, making a automatic or semi-automatic fuctional handmade gun requires ALOT of technical knowelge, not get suspected by Law-enforcemeny due to your time spent & materils you bought, and also generaly making a gun working without it blowing up, soo yeah, just build a homemade musket
@@teoborges3949 no, not really. guns are rather simple machines they are not very hard to make with the right tools. theres even plenty of guides out there for making them. and the cops or feds cant say shit over you making a firearm because its perfectly legal, that is if you even tell them you are making one because they arent going to suspect you for just buying random materials. should really look into it if you are at all interested.
American here. This actually made some good points. At least about our hot headed authoritarian police here. They are actually bound by our constitution and we do have rights . They are suppose to de escalate, but the corruption has gotten out of hand here . Mostly in the major cities.

This was great! I'm saving it to use as a talking point later. Thanks for animating and voicing it up.
Absolutely!
Good luck with this poor talking point. Perhaps you should try an argument based in object reality instead of some blokes fantasy land?
@@cracked Sorry, but this is not a good talking point and its very onesided argument. Instead of looking it from the US police standpoint and trying to improve their situation, you just wants them to be exactly like the british police, when their situation is completelly different. You just saying that if US police officers drops their weapon everything is just sunshine and happy. You wants them to brawl with criminals like your "hero" GB police, but leaving out how many times those criminals won or just getting away. Its not a surprise that you dont bringing up the actual number of "solved cases" in England. Or that many feels that the british police didnt do anything against crime besides of being the thought police of mean memes.
Metal death wangers is the best description of guns ever. Secondly 5'8" at 195 lbs is a huge person, not someone who I would take lightly.
This also does a great job of explaining the "crimes solved" rate in the UK.
Which in fairness Joey it makes sense considering the Police really can't do anything about it with the legal system we have legally wise they dont actually have to investigate home burglarys generally speaking as long as someone wasn't killed it's not something they look into
Haven't you ever wondered why the murder rate is so low but the accident rate is so high?!?

There's certainly a lot to say about the differences in gun laws and gun culture in different countries. I myself have numerous and sometimes conflicting beliefs about many large issues all around the world, so having more perspective is always welcome. Mayhaps there is a realistic way to commandeer effective policies from different countries and adapt them to suit the societal needs and culture of another. Mayhaps.
It would already be hugely beneficial for the US to adopt way more extensive training for its officers, focus way more on deescalation and hold cops accountable for things that go wrong.
And adopt stricter gun laws, so officers are less on edge all the time?
@@JuMiKu no
"cats out of the bag" in the US as they say. We quite literally have more guns than people. Forcing private transfers to have a background check and having a registry to enforce it would be a start to making sure they don't fall into the wrong hands, but even that is highly controversial because in other countries registration has been followed by bans to collect the now registered guns.
It also really doesn't help that the folks pushing for gun control reform are the same people who would like to outright ban them if they could, so it turns into a fight for every single step in that direction, because gun owners know they won't stop coming back to the table and asking for more restrictions.
@@sebastienholmes548 why not?
Speaking as someone who is mentally ill and has had police yell at me while I'm actively overdosing from a suicide attempt, the example given is a great way of approaching a mentally ill person. Talk to them like they aren't batshit crazy, and get them to the hospital without causing distress. Trust me, stressing out a psych patient is how people get hurt and it's 100% on the police if that happens.
I didn’t realize you guys were back. I’ve missed you
I wonder why crime is so rampant in Britain...
And its not in america?
Capitalism is the cause and both are it's vectors. 😁
It always worries me how US police overly rely on their firearms pointing them screaming commands for a simple thing like someone running
1:05 they can ignore violent real crime in your streets and arrest you for your Twitter posts.
British used to rule the world, now they are shell of their former self smh 😔.
Legit LOL at the last line. Well done.
That is the thing when it comes to countries like England, Canada, Japan, Australia, Etc. When it comes to policing, cost of education , gun control, cost of healthcare, etc. They are far from perfect as countries and still have issues, but they at the very least try the DAMN BARE MINIMUM. Which is more then I can say for America in almost anything that isn't self destructive.
I'd rather be in the US.
All correct points made. Also, on occasions where firearms officers are deployed, they have to account for each and every round discharged, individually.
Derp that is the requirement in virtually every county
"I AM 🇺🇸 AMERICAN 🇺🇸, I DON'T BELIEVE IN CONTUSIONS" 😅🤣😝😂😅🤣. LOL!! Even after watching last night's AMERICAN FOOTBALL GAME 🏈 between the Buffalo Bills 🐃 vs Cincinnati Bengals 🐯 where the game was stopped and postponed because a player collapsed
It's easy to say "Cops shouldn't have guns." when you have a population of small gun ownership. When you live in a country that has more guns than people, it makes sense why officers are armed.
I like the idea of us being that kind of population, though.
So the solution would be to gradually reduce the amount of guns in circulation. Instead you spent 2021 pumping out 5.2 guns for every baby born. It's lunacy.
@@ThePanMan11 Good luck trying that though. I don't think any politician will be very successful in that regard.
@@rickyreyes1636 I think it would be pretty simple. US politicians are just woefully corrupt. At first you don't even need to touch guns in the hands of citizens. Just taxing gun manufacturers more would have an effect on new guns flowing onto the market.

That tends to be what happens when the police are trained to actively think of an entire category of people (you know, the ones with melanin and an actual culture) as subhuman. The cops will kill frequently, and if that happens, well...the death of the uniforms is pretty earned at that point.
That line at the end was brilliant, "I'm american we don't believe in concussions" 🤣
As if there hasn't been an awful lot of pubic conversation about it? I thought that line was really dumb.
@@techienate you do make a good point we do talk about it more and sports take them much more seriously then in past especially with youth and college divisions. So maybe it's a dated joke but still got a laugh from me.
I'd settle for the police losing qualified immunity. But I still think they need their weapons
Well the best idea for each country and such can change. But in America, pretty sure cops kill more people than people kill cops. A gas station worker is at more risk than a cop. We also don't have a lot of good wide spread deescalation training and the typical response to someone having a mental health crisis is to pull out a gun and scream at them to get on the ground. I watch a young adult get horrified and was holding up a knife and swinging it while in his car while I think like 4 cops all screamed at him before shooting him to death. Most cops here are trained to kill, not help. Perhaps our best bet is telling cops to leave their guns in cars unless they know someone is armed or such. There is discussion for this and ending qualified immunity is very good.
As for banning all guns, it probably wouldn't work here, but there are other things that can help with that issue. I forget which country but there is some europe country that has guns legal, but I think they either banned the sale of ammo or just outlawed having loaded guns outside and not in certain places. On top of that, backgroUnd checks, and they haven't had a shooting since like 2001.
The topic of police interrogations, American interrogators are immoral. They are allowed to lie, falsify evidence, keep people in the interrogation room for DAYS, and all sorts of other things if they can get someone to say they did it. Doesn't matter if they did or not.
The gang situation in America definitely has led to such a scenario (ironically its police and political racial injustice that led non lethal street "clubs" to transform into the gangs of today).
Any changes to police policy will have to start small and be focused primarily in expanding/evolving social outreach programs like the various programs launched during the Johnson administration.
@@honest_126 oh yea cops def kill wayyyyy more people then vice versa the only debate is what % of this is justified that aside I'm not surprised most people don't kill Cops because its one thing to murder some random but you kill a Cop?? Your ass ain't ever seeing daylight again

In the vast majority of cases where force is necessary a baton will do just fine. Not only does the suspect live but if used correctly then the suspect will be able to predict the weather changes for the rest of his life. It's funny how a low-level constant pain can fill you with regret for poor decisions and remind you not to make those poor decisions again.
How well does a baton work if the suspect has a gun?
@@freesk8 obviously that requires an escalation of force, as the video addresses. A baton would be inadequate as force at a distance is a wiser choice.

Something not mentioned here is that British police have much higher clearance rates(percentage of crimes resulting in an arrest) than their American counterparts.
So not only are they less dangerous to the average citizen, they are more likely to successfully enforce the law.
The red phone boxes everywhere is accurate
Apart from the Armed Response Units.
Which do totally have guns.
Oh, I’m American… We don’t believe in concussions.
that bullcrap, not only British Police can lie, but the undercover can even commit crimes, also accountability is an illusion as they are judged by other cops who obviously protect their own.

I have a family member with mental health problems. I wish it was as simple as “let’s get you to a hospital, shall we” that worked 1 time, the hundreds of other times not so much. Not that I want guns involved but that was a huge simplification. Typically it ends with property damage, the police called, and after 10 to 15 minutes of them trying the same thing we’ve been trying for hours, wraps up by them explaining “Hospital or jail, but your not staying here” almost never violence, but it’s never a pleasant interaction and he doesn’t even have a particular hated for cops. That one made up scenario bugged me a lot.
Even in America cops know don’t point a gun at someone having a mental health episode. The vast vast majority of officer involved shootings are because they’re being shot at. Even here in Canada our cops have guns because most of our bad guys have guns. Until we see American gangsters posing with knifes and machetes like they do in the uk, a gun will be a necessary piece of an officers kit.
End the drug war and officer shootings will go way down because the number of bad guys with guns will go way down. Yes cops fuck up and shoot people for no good reason sometimes, but don’t act like the 1000 a year didn’t shoot first and were all Daniel Shaver

My friend from Shanghai China has taught me that his police sergeant dad doesn't carry a firearm, unless an extreme crowd control emergency required him to (which occurs once per decade on average), in which he and his partner are assigned a revolver and a handful of bullets.
One holds the bullets and the other holds the gun, requiring verbalization of the grounds for loading the bullets into the gun to be agreed upon by both parties for any individual identifiable target before putting a single bystander's life at risk.
I wish my home of the United States could be anywhere near as respectful of the sanctity of human life as the People's Republic of China! 🇨🇳
I'm English born and raised, and was in a school shooting situation at primary school. Some idiot was shooting at us with an air rifle, I can't imagine how much worse it would have been if guns hadn't been banned a few years before. It was terrifying and I feel for those poor American kids who hit the floor when they hear fireworks.
No school kid hits the floor when they hear fireworks in the US. First of all we have a huge culture of using fireworks even in the bathroom causing mischief (so everyone would want to see what's happening so they don't miss the fun), secondly the majority of kids in my school had at least 1 actual tool in their vehicle (if not in their school locker, or baseball bag, and no we aren't talking about baseball bats...). Everyone kept their trucks unlocked and plainly visible in the rear window were the racks to hold their 12ga for skeet (we had 4H and FFA skeet and trap practice after school), and often a rifle for deer season. One of the girls came in with a black eye and every guy was ready to come to her aid thinking her boyfriend punched her, nope she had the scope too close to her face when hunting the day before, haha! We fought with fists, never even crossed our minds to use weapons (and sure one of my best friends broke his hand punching another guy in the face so hard, but nobody was going to use a tool).
We have a massive population, and the media isn't going to cover boring daily events, they pick something that will have a shock factor (which by the way, a single driver in France in just 1 day took out more than what every single person with a rifle in the US commits for about 4 months, I mean that clearly means French drivers shouldn't be allowed to rent or own trucks right? Also a truck isn't even useful, how could it possibly protect your pets from wildlife, or your family from danger? Ban trucks obviously, they don't protect anyone)
@@jakegarrett8109 oh I absolutely agree with you the French DO need tighter driving legislation. But also I know what I saw and when I was in Queens on holiday there were fireworks and 3 separate kids all hit the floor when the first fireworks went off. My American cousins kids also all flinch and dodge if you try to give them a toy gun. I'm not talking about hypothetical kids when I talk about American kids and gun trauma, they are real and they are scared.
@@TheAnnaShowUk I'll call you out on that bluff. Every child in America you hand them a stick or a broom, and the first thing they do is pretend its either a sword or a boomstick. My school we had more pewpews in the parking lot than we had children, let that sink in... In High School nobody except me would lock their vehicle, and the majority of students had shotty and long pewpews sitting in plain sight through the windows mounted on window racks, completely unlocked and we had nothing bad ever happen with them. I even took my .22 over to my friends house, I asked if it needed to be locked while at school and was told it wasn't needed so it was put into my baseball bag and rode the school bus to my buddies house.
We don't flinch, the only places that flinch are places where pewpews are BANNED and illegal. Nearby (I'm in the US, and this is in the US), even water squirt toys I owned as a child are ILLEGAL to own as even non-firing toys (in the case of water toys that is a firing toy anyways, but even if it was a stick carved to look like one it would be illegal), even if its only played with in your living room or even if its locked in a safe unloaded of water droplets. Sure, in those places since it is illegal to defend yourself, then of course the wolves have defenseless sheep as pray.
@@jakegarrett8109 I don't know how you expect me to prove memories, but there's no bluff there. Anyway your talking about memory of when you were at school, I'm talking about now. Shootings have increased massively since we were young and the new generation are terrified even if the old generation weren't. My cousins kids don't play with or about guns, they freak them out too much.
@@TheAnnaShowUk They haven't really increased, however the NEWS has increased. No longer do they cover "fire rescue saves cat out of tree", they go for the biggest headline and milk it till its not profitable. For me school wasn't that long ago, and the town I grew up in probably is about the same, its a fairly tight knit community and they do care about their children, hence likely some of the teachers are armed (they are the ones that would care most about the safety of their students besides the parents), and I'm sure the children have not stopped sporting and hunting activities in that short amount of time.
I'm from the UK and I completely trust armed police here. Everyone does because we know how well trained they are. After the Ariana Grande concert bombing, armed police we're everywhere for months and I didn't feel any less safe than I do on any other day. I doubt I would have that same feeling if I went to the US on holiday - I've never been and I'm not planning on going 😂
Im American and can say any interaction with police makes me fear for my life. I know more than a couple people who got arrested while breaking no laws. And when they protested they gained head injuries before they got to the jail. 90 percent power hungry piss ants. Another buddy on his way to buy a car had a cop stop him on foot pat him down, cop took $4,500, guy had to get a lawyer and sue the town police department to get it back. Lawyer kept half. America sucks!
Cops without guns absolute madness! How do you keep the poor in check?
They just send the army

wait.....America is REAL? oh bloody 'ell!
A basic flaw is comparing unlike elements. USA has a 1,954 mile southern border with Mexico--Most of the illegal drugs distributed around the world come from this border. Meanwhile the UK is an island with no border.
A bit counter intuitive but makes perfect sense when you think about it. Here in south africa, most of the guns on the street actually come straight from police stations, either from crooked cops or dead rookies. Having only high level guys carry guns means less institutional leakage. Less guns overall means you can also assume a shoot to kill policy for the hardened criminals who do have guns.
Quick little note about US law enforcement(at least in Missouri): they are held accountable for their actions. Most departments have reports that are mandatory when use of force is even displayed. Also the lying bit, laws are either in place or being put in place that prevent an officer from lying to a point that a reasonable person would confess. Interrogations are time limited and if unfair treatment is used, departments can be sued and convictions overturned.
US and UK have different methods because they have different cultures. It isn't an even comparison.

@@Quarmacy Hey, that's very kind of you!
Did you know that a man got decapitated in the UK while the police sat back and watched while they waited for an armed police officer? What a great system
And shit like that happens all the time
Whether nearly everyone is allowed a gun is irrelevant to a cop; what matters is whether the bad guys have them. The bad guys can easily smuggle in enough guns for themselves with an unarmed general population; they don't in England because just being caught illegally possessing one means years in prison.
In the U.S. police catch bad guys possessing guns contrary to law all the time, but they don't get sent to years in prison. Even though the law empowers the court to send them to prison for seven years, they plea-bargain the charges and let the criminal caught with a gun back out a few weeks later; maybe sooner. If courts have the power to send criminals to prison for illegally having a gun but they don't want to (because it would mean too many criminals in prison), stiffer gun laws won't change that -- they'll only make non-criminals helpless to resist the criminals.
If you think that, through changes in the law law, you can reduce the violence of criminals, I suggest you first have South Africa try out your advice, and show us how well it works there. Or Jamaica. (If you think gun control works, but only in rich western nations, then you owe it to the world to retake those colonies -- so they, too, will be part of a rich western nation and gun control can work well there too.)
This entire theory and idea falls apart the moment you take it outside of Britain. My neck of the woods? Nope, don't even think about it. Cops in my area have to be very much subtle, because the people in my area are just that bad. Lotta drugs in my area too. Used to get wrapped up in that shit myself actually. Everyone packing heat around my area actually knows how to use it, and it's not uncommon for people to pick up one or two disciplines, so a mob of officers with a baton is pretty useless. We had a guy fight off the swat team bare handed, and run up state. They only caught him because state troopers had a stand off after his car ran out of gas. There's a videos somewhere around here of another guy doped up on pcp in his underwear fighting off two bouncers and an officer and running away Scott free, and there's one of me somewhere around here back when I was 14, and 90lbs, butt ass naked, out of my mind off flakka, pcp, and coke, fighting off six officers, and running away.
That's just bare hand, drugged up junkies, looking more for a thrill rather than a fight. Take someone else for example, like that lady who got in her car and committed mass murder by running over adults and school children. Plus, this video just glosses over all the mass stabbings in the UK. Wich speaking of, there was a recent murder in Idaho, a place unlike California, a place known to be more tame than California, where the killer stabbed six people to death. Taking away guns isn't going to solve the issue, adding guns into the mix isn't going to solve the issue.
In the UK, prisons are actually about reform, mental health is actually good and isn't about prescribing drugs, rehab in the UK is affordable. That's the shit that's keeping them pleasant. I didn't kick the hardcore shit until after rehab, and I got lucky to get in, there's a lotta people not so lucky. Now a days I try to chill out, but I get amped up, then I just gotta walk it off, so me on smack? Goodnight, end of story. There's a lot worse people out there than me, people who aren't just some thrill chaser drug fiend, there's racists, extremists, bangers, out there not seeking to tweak for thrills but out there seeking to do harm, and they will put your life in the fuckin dirt.
You guys even basically put in this video a scenario where they failed, a guy getting his finger bit clean off isn't a "success".
Facts. I swear people who navigate for gun control are delusional and never been in the real world with real people.

Us police : stop or I'll shoot u.
Uk police: stop or ill say again stop.
On the Olympic shooting note; nearly half of GB's shooting golds were in 1908. GB won as many shooting golds in the 20 years after Dunblane as we did in the 20 years before it (both 2); we're not really worse than we already were on that front.
Ironically, Australia has equally (If not more restrictive) gun laws and they’re always mega competitive at IPSC (the real international shooting competition) events.
