- As America continues to deal with the fallout after a string of high profile police-involved killings, questions are being raised about how officers in the U.S. compare to those in other countries. Ryan Heath, a senior editor for Politico, joined CBSN to discuss his article, "Are U.S. Cops Different?"

In Germany every Police officer has attendet AT LEAST (depending on the kind of deployment) 3 years of Police academy and College. Often to specialize you go to University even longer.
While that sounds good, a college diploma isn't going get rid of the deep seeded internal hatred & racism that seems to be embedded in American culture.
@@lamo1239 think again then
@@retiredtidepodeater3339 no it will gives you a professional cops
In US police deal with madmen, not only criminals; also with foreign - led and organised "movements" like that BLM subversion. Other countris have social services, and secret political police force to deal with subversives lik BLM.
You think your standing up for Americans but your nnot, you see Your reality from behind the lens of a news camera, American citicens are walking around with AK-47 out of fear of the mobs, those mobs dont represent the avg american, those mobs are far left extremist most of whom do not live in the cities there looting, its actually easy to tell who the locals are, there the ones armed to the teeth and having there stores destroyed.
The finnish police fired 6 bulllets in 2018. All six bullets were warning shots.
and for this 6 bullets police officer must write a least 3 page of explanation for every bullet, why he shot and why can't do something else
That's why they don't have a good arm industry. They have step up their game. Fire some bullets, a flash-bang. Throw a bomb or two around the world to spread out the democracy. Come on, Finns.
@@tihomirrasperic you're saying it like it's a bad thing, shows where your priorities lie.
@@nevarran ??? Finland has a large arm industry and export all over the world.
@@janoveurheim2270 Way to ruin a joke, Jan.
Putting people in jail in the US is big money business.
Explain please?
president camacho that’s a fair point. I can agree with what you are saying. But how is that a police problem tho?
ApexOrigin
Yes it is. It’s a huge money maker. From ticketing for small infractions and a system that traps people into paying all kinds of additional fees, the bail system that is a money maker, to the private prison industrial complex. The entire system is based on making money off of poor people. And that’s not even including civil asset forfeiture.
@@KirbSideGaming the in profit prison need prisoner to make money. So they pressure governments to send out longer sentencing for minor crimes.
@@KirbSideGaming They send people who commit minor crime to a longer sentencing. Sometimes cops plant drugs into cars to make it over legal weight.
From a European perspective American police training looks more like a workshop than professional job training.
@Cade BrittWow, that probably doesn't make things easier. I've also heard from Beau of the Fifth Column that police are being trained to believe they're in a war zone and to view the citizens they're policing as (potential) enemy combatants. Which means their training instills in them an unhealthy level of paranoia.
@@e.458 I am a U.S. military veteran and saw the war in Afghanistan. I was a medic and the Geneva Convention requires us to provide aid to all enemy combatants and foreign citizens if sick or shot.
Police in the U.S. don't provide aid at all to vicitms if they shoot whether justified or not. It takes 5-7 mins to bleed out so waiting on medical is a failure and usually if help isn't administered within 3 mins they're going to die.
The streets are not warzones and cops need to reassess if they think so. Most have never been to war or had bombs thrown at them. They need to wake up!
@@miguelbermudez5426 Cops do provide first aid to suspects or victims. Only problem is, you don't know if the suspect is done fighting or not. A cop in my hometown got killed this way
@@miguelbermudez5426 Thank you for your service. More people got shot and killed in Chicago in 2020, than got killed in Afghanistan since the war their started. No they don't have artillery and hand grenades being thrown at them but its pretty rough when 10 to 20 people get killed in gang fights every week. Knowing you will have to go on duty, you as a fighting soldier understand what it is like. Its not the police mans fault they don't have medics with them on duty , when they go on duty they are usually by themselves. They don't have an officer or even another Cop with them to help make a decision. Many policemen have served in the military. They will assist a wounded man when they can but they also have to watch their back when they are by themselves.
@@help3102 no they don't. The SCOTUS already ruled that they are not required to render aid. I have seen too many videos of cops shooting people and letting them die when TCCC could have increased their survivability rate significantly.
In Norway you have to be in a good shape and you have a great result to attend police high school. They are trained for 3 years. We got smart, well educated and civilized police men here, not a bunch of losers who join the police force when there is nothing left for them.
@Ian Ness I know who wants to live in such a happy country... must be terrible for them
You guys sound like guys who got turned down. The standards for most police departments are higher than the general public thinks. 2 years or other type experience before you can get hired and go to the police academy.. And out of the academy they are in field training.
And it’s clear the reporter doesn’t understand qualified immunity. Police officers can get sued for excessive force etc and are all the time. Qualified immunity just means if someone is arrested with probable cause like a woman identifies a person as her rapist and is wrong, the cop who made the arrest can’t be sued. She can..
I really think a big problem is how the public and especially the media doesn’t understand why police do things in a certain way.
@Ian Ness I have to agree from what I have seen & heard
If they had to face angry urban blacks night after night they would adapt to jungle life or die off from fear, or bullets. FU and your "good shape" cops. A Norwegian cop in the south side of Chicago would crap his pants the first night out. And then quit.
Apparently police training here doesn't include first aid and water rescue. (search: Johnny Baldwin, Winchester TN)
U.S: I'm a police officer teaching other countries how to police.
Rest of the world: Lmaoooooooooo
Lol like the rest of the world would even think of inviting the US to come teach policing. Possibly a public relations exercise. Unless it's to point out the pit falls , errors and totally insane policy's everywhere must avoid at all costs. Nope not follow those instructions we will stick to our own educational standards.
Yes at dictatorships. Learning how to torture political opponents.
well here they don't even accept american degrees from schools...
US polices should have been trained by polices from other countries. Shooting people isn't the solution.
@@weekdaycycling They do. Kind of. I was listening to an interview on the radio here in the UK last year with a US police chief. He took a "working holiday" to Scotland and tailed some British cops. He was surprised that they weren't armed with a firearm. That's when he learned about the way they are trained over here, with most of their training being in de-escalation - something of which there's very little in the US. He now sends two cops a year to the UK to train in de-escalation but the funds aren't there for him to send more.
From Germany: I hereby request that Germans are no longer villains in James Bond movies. The torch is passed since 2016

It is apparent that the level of education required to join most American Police Forces is not very high.
About 3 to 6 weeks

It has become a form of legal plunder. 100%.

The police are civilians
Police in America "What is this word de-escalation"
Police Union: It's where you pull out a gun and shoot the guy. He's dead and no longer a threat. Situation de-escalated.
@@hypothalapotamus5293 wow dude that's funny, do you know what the use of force Continuum is?
Just the opposite of what Dave Grossman teaches. Escalate to the point of killing. Don't worry about lawsuits.
Most cops don't know a bigly word like deescalation.
Police in America *"Deescalation... Why are we talking about mall stairs?"*
Police force training in the US is lackluster to say the least. Hiring psychos doesn't help either I suspect.
Maybe Police Force Training Should be funded more so it could get better.
It's natural for narcissists and sociopaths to seek out jobs that give them power over other people. This is why every candidate should be thoroughly vetted by psychologists.
@@LSPalm You mean they can't become cops if they're too intelligent?

Here in Belgium I've been pulled over a couple of times. Had a chat, had a laugh, went on my way. Got out of a ticket at one point when I told him I was visiting my grandmother.
When people don't need to be scared you're going to pull a gun on them they're more relaxed. Who knew?
Belgium is not the USA Bud, just watch Law & Order channel, people carying guns everywhere
My impression of the police in the USA, is that they are more aggressive and short tempered when compered to european countries.
Maybe because they have to be in a more dangerous situation. In comparison to some European countries.
@@jasonlee6227 - you escalate it by your stupid gun laws....
@Nathan Gonzalez - it is not that you have relatively too many guns - you have absolutely too many guns, there is only one solution to protect the victims right to live and that is to take them away - like every other civilized nation has. Your right is killing others - why can you not see that???
@Nathan Gonzalez - listen to how deluded and paranoid you sound - "if the military is not powerful enough then what if foreign powers invade?" - so what are you? the "amateur reserve" for the professional army, who you will, with another breath, claim is the most well equipped and professional in the world? If they really need you in reserve then sack them off. Where do you get your logic from? the side of a cereal packet? Your selfish rights are killing your country men - you are not a true patriot.
@Nathan Gonzalez - because you waste time justifying the unjustifiable, hiding behind your second amendment rights. Do some thinking for yourself and have some empathy for the victims of your precious privileges. Do you have children? what would you think if they went to Sandy Hook and got taken out by someone exercising their second amendment rights?? Stop being so selfish and thinks of others - this for you is serious...... I do not live in the USA - nor would - act like a civilised nation.
Next: “Are American prisons different?”
Yea it's what we call the concentration camps
Mexican got on boots?
Yea i don't think so in south America those guys dont have any structure in prison literally stack prisoner on top of each other.
American prisons are private owned more people more money they make follow the money don't get me wrong some people need to be locked up for ever
@choppa grizzly Russian prisons are different. You're not allowed to use bad language there, prisoners don't like it (in maximum security colonies specifically).
It's about de-escalation and a lot of underlying factors as said which are not honored in USA.
All the world are recists. Allllll. Even me ...
@@lamo1239 if you concentrated your thoughts on other subjects....like languages, books...
Has nothing to do with that..all the procedure ..all the policies..all the weapons and gears means nothing..what matters are the person ..
I feel like US cops rely on fear tactics too often. The fact that they're armed at all times has always made me very nervous. They just escalate most situations
That is Kind of Democracy Wisch U S A want to Export to the World?
I've been a cop in my own country and I lived in the US and the differences are massive: there are two main problems, neither of which American society is willing to discuss, let alone own up to : gun culture and race. When somebody disobeys a direct order from the Police, tries to get away, unarmed, without posing a direct threat either to the police or to other people and gets shot 7 times, 7 times!!! in the back!!! With his children nearby!!!! When that happens once or as an isolated incident, at the best that cop is a psychopath, when it happens repeatedly, targeting a minority, you lot have a serious problem, particularly considering the kind of comments I saw on line: ''justified shooting', ''he'd be alive if he had followed instructions''. The Wild West was long ago, vou've already ''conquered'' it, grow up, evolve, get over it and move on!!!
You would probably die as a cop here since you a so trusting.
@@atlanticrf perhaps but I think there's a larger problem here than my alleged trustfulness which by the way is called training and sense of duty in other countries and I lived in a few. To serve and protect, remember?
Its crazy how the police in a Dangerous country has way less training than those in safe countries
I would like to know exactly why they need all that training if nothing ever happens there. I would like to see them send some policeman here to Chicago to see how good their training really is. Germany has about 85 million people and one German commented that police have only fired their guns 55 times for the whole year, in Chicago last weekend, there were more than 50 shootings with ten dead in 3 days' Chicago has about 2 million people these were not police shooting these were the people shooting at each other. Three years of college would not have stopped that because the police were not involved. Maybe the Chicago Mayor and Illinois governor should go back to college.
@Alistair Bolden If you are from the UK you must know that you can own Guns and you can own more than one gun also taking a switchblade away does not stop you from knifing someone, you don't need a knife to slit someone's throat, a razor blade will do it very easily. You also do have poor people in the UK, You also have people living on the street, You are trying to feed a line of bull to people that have never been to the UK, Look around on You Tube and you will see videos of British people with guns I don't really know why a farmer would walk around his farm with a baseball bat but if he wanted to there is no law that can stop him. we hunted rabbits with baseball bats..
@Alistair Bolden I am sure your neighbors are not criminals. My neighbors are not criminals either my comment was about you talking like the UK does not have poverty, and the people can't own guns and everyone is making big bucks in the UK. I will say one thing Smoking is bad and very expensive. I quit many years ago.
They police with a warrior mind set- wrong. We r their NEIGHBORS..not at war with us
Any evidence?
Need to go back to gaurdian training and scrap warrior training, then rid war on drugs.
Have you never seen a video where someone shoots a cop???
We are not neighbors. Most police live outside the urban areas which they "protect and serve." It's like that here in Detroit which abandoned residency requirements.
Tell that to the 165 cops that are killed on average every year. there are over 58,000 assaults committed against police each year. 94% of all fatal shootings the "victim" has a weapon and was attacking police or an immediate threat to the public.
In germany the police eat less donuts
You mean police EVERYWHERE ELSE!
but donuts are yummy though :(
Toaster Store never said they weren’t 😋
Strudel?
What about bratwurst?
been living in US for 3 years. Cops here are very insecure and rely on their status to give them a distorted sense of authority and superiority. Their insecurity is such that just like a school bully, their first recourse is violent subjugation. Their sense of superiority is such that human life has little meaning compared to their god like stature. Seldom is remorse shown for brutal attacks or killings, only for themselves for getting caught. This is reinforced by the whole system from police chiefs, police unions, DA's and state governors, (which is gradually beginning to change) Cop consider anyone outside of their own as potential enemy, so therefore everyone is approached as a 'target'. Im not political but US society is obsessed with status which is no surprise as this is the beating heart of Capitalism which accepts nothing less than the 'Win at all costs' mentality.
Boy do I wish there was some sort of exchange program that allows me to swap places with folks like you since you seem to be terrified of living in the US. Care to swap? I’m from a third world country and quite adept at avoiding any police encounters. You know what it is - not breaking the law.
You sound like you’re insecure.. you’ve exposed that simple fact in your comment here little buddy..
Don Ferry you know that the US police is allowed to stop and search everyone they want to without evidence of a crime?
@@cube_2593 well, there are some other third-world countries that technically have it worse, especially with their police. I should know since I live in a third world country as well, but that isn't exactly the topic here
Jemima Pinagod I know that it could allways be worse
Policing and prisons are big business in the United States. The incentive is to have more poor and minorities as fuel for the system. Jobs for the police, jobs for lawyers, jobs for judges, jobs for correctional officers, jobs for prison guards, jobs for wardens and to top it off you get the bonus of removing competition for your kids when they hit the job market by locking up all those minority kids via the school to prison pipeline
Man you couldn’t have said this any better
Well said. This was needed
When I visited London UK twice a few years ago, I had conversations with people of different background in the mall, laundry mat ect, & all told me the same thing; they feel the US police & system are savages cruel & malicious, they did say there is some racism in England but the volume is not so high as in the US, my friend Joyce who was Jamaican, lived in a small town in England in the 1960s thru the 70s, & she said she & her family were never disrespected, she had friends & never felt unsafe around police, when she moved to the USA she said she felt scared of police, was disrespected called the n word, & said compared to the police in the UK the American cops are wicked racist savage. I kept hearing these same words even with the white English people I met, they feel Americans are rude, crude, & the cops & white American behave like savages. Sadly I could not argue with that, at least a high volume of people seem to behave this way
As a black english man this is spot on. The USA is nutz the police need policing how crazy is that.

Can’t compare! Many factors contribute to the differences in Policing in both countries. One things for sure though, America’s gangsters are way badder than Denmark’s so go figure.
To cops in the United States, "de-escalate" is what a person does when they step off of the moving stairs at a mall, office building or other such business.
@lightsouthaha sometimes, the ability to speak doesn't make you intelligent buddy.
First of all, you used the word "deescalate" wrongly. You can't deescalate a human, only a situation.
Also, for the love of God, threatening to injure people doesn't make you "cool" hun.
@lightsouthaha okay Kyle
How do the cops de-secalate the bullets fired at them?
De escalation in America is bullet to brain. Now there is no problem because there is no living person to cause problem.
If communities were to take responsibility to de-escalate there own problems instead of always relying on police we wouldn't be having this discussion.
In Germany police fired 51 gun shots - all over the country in the whole year 2019. Makes a difference.

@@loganbauerr Germany has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in europe and people can own the exact same guns as americans can with a bit more paperwork.
In Japan, one of my wife’s uncles is police detective. I asked him why he wasn’t carrying his gun one time and he said because he wasn’t on duty. When I told him police in the United States always have their guns, even off duty, he was surprised. Police in Japan all carry guns, but only on duty.
Some may think it’s impossible to get a gun in Japan, but that’s not at all true. Just about anyone can get a gun, but it’s like maintaining a registered car and driver’s license. Same with swords and other weapons. In fact it’s common to see people of all ages on the trains carrying real weapons for martial arts, but always in cases. No one carries a weapon ready to use at any instant. And to be frank it’s because they’re not so paranoid as Americans. Usually if someone wants to commit a violent crime, they’ll use a more common item like a kitchen knife or baseball bat.
Japan is about the same size as California with lot greater population density in the cities. So violet crimes happen every day, but there are a lot fewer police-and yet you can always find police absolutely anywhere, no need to call 911, just walk into the police box.
Love Japan! Every time I visit, I bow so often, I continue to bow for another 2 weeks after I return home. A testament to such an incredible culture steeped in honor, duty, and respect, and a philosophy even the Japanese underworld still follow. Unfortunately in America, the criminals have none of that. They will off you for wearing the wrong colored shirt. Or because you looked at them funny.
But I’m sure that you knew that already since I’m assuming you are American? We simply can’t compare the Japanese, and American police systems. They are influenced and are a response to many differing factors. Culture, demographics, population size and socio-economic factors are just some of the most obvious differences. Thanks.
Don Ferry : I don’t think you’ve been to Japan, at least for more than the occasional short visit. Even the die hard ‘Japan Fan Boys’ don’t pile on praise like that, because it’s not at all accurate.
U wanna bet!
Police in the US are considered on duty 24 hours a day. They are expected to react if they see a crime being committed.
1. Each police force has its own rules, there is no national rule that cops must carry a weapon off duty. 2. Japan is a homogeneous country.
In all countries where I have lived I have seen that this is true. US police is more like Brazilian police than in any Western democracy...
For every 25,000 arrests in the US theres 1 police killing, for every 30 arrests in Brazil theres 1 police killing. No comparison here, Brazil has far worse policing.
Legalising drugs, stricter gun laws (punished by jail time if you sell a gun to a person that has violent record), helping the poor in community to live dignified life.
The US is more like Brazil than the other NATO countries in general it is neocolonalism design
and in what countries have you lived? If its any of the countries that have strict to no gun ownership im done. The use of deadly force is generally equal to the threat they are facing, so if there are no guns there is less fatal interactions. that does not mean less police brutality or anything like that just means less fatal SHOOTINGS. How many officers were stabbed last yr in Great Britain ?
@@caddylover10 I have lived/worked in 9 European, 3 South American countries + a little in USA, China and Thailand. In most of Europe (as far I know) it's legal to own a firearm for hunting or sports. E.g. in Sweden each legal gun has a number and the police knows who it's registered on and any change of ownership must be registered or the gun is called back. People without hunting certificate, sports club membership, recent criminal background, mental illness or age below 18 will have difficulties to get approval of arms license, even for historical arms that can be used to shoot (i.e. not disabled). Many in my family are hunters.
as a former po in a state where, unlike cops, we carried no weapons while interacting almost 100% with adjudicated criminals still actively fulfilling their sentences, we managed to injure or killed ZERO people EVER. i'm not claiming by any means that system is anything but almost totally flawed, but why aren't all those hours of de-escalation training i had required of the guys with the guns who interact mostly with law-abiding citizens day in and day out?
Very solid point.
Also, you sir are an arse - I spent about 10 seconds trying to figure out the ethnicity of a name like Nonya Bizness. Well played.
There is only one problem with the statistic provide above....all the country that are used to compare with the United States have strict gun control laws....Therefore police are not faced with gun threat or have to worry about gun threat that often....
Sorry but as a former PO u are dealing with people after the fact. People think very differently before and after they are busted n I know this from personal experience being in mandated “groups/counseling”
@@kchung9209 there's a very simple solution that the US doesn't want to face - much stricter gun control and banning the vast majority of currently legal weapons.

A very big and complex country though, with far too many factors that directly and indirectly contribute to policing it’s communities. In the end however, protection for the weak and innocent in the most vulnerable communities are what matters most to me. Not the folks that seem to always get in trouble, and end up on the wrong end of the law.

Depends what part of the UK. Google landrover pangolin. And PSNI
@Ian Ness Not sure about the other poster means as to gun culture but to me gun culture means the culture of people owning many guns. People in the UK do own guns but its not that many and often its just one gun used for hunting. With regard to the mass shooting having that many guns around does make it easier for people who want to do the shootings to get their hands on guns but the culture is not the reason there are mass shootings
Those societies don’t have the gun violence and gang violence that America has. Big difference

hellovanite I didn’t grow up in New Zealand. My high school had two cops armed with Glocks in the school. That was normal. New Zealand is not normal it’s exceptional
🤣🤣🤣... you probably don’t have M13 gangs or Crypts and Bloods either do you..
yeah, that’s what I thought.. Your cops don’t need guns when all they are confronted with is a koala bear stuck in a tree or a millennial has lost his latte and iPhone.. 🤣
@@1986prs NZ has had extensive gang problems as long as the US has had them. In some ways NZ is a more violent culture than the US after living in both countries. The fights I've seen in bars in NZ are much more brutal than anything I saw in US.

The difference? In the US, those who were bullied as kids join the police force in order to finally have some kind of authority and power over others.
Everywhere else, they join the police force to actually help and protect their communities.
In sweden we have had issues even finding people to become police because they fail the psych evals to even get the training, now that is scary but also good that the test are "tough".

That would be the best funding shift
Well, for me as a German, these numbers are unfortunately no surprise. I mean you can’t expect someone to be calm and patient when this person has to expect everybody around him to have a weapon.
Just think about it... This one gun per person thing isn’t only the reason for the more heavily armed police but also for the behavior of the police officers.
The main issue, that I see, is the attitude of nearly every single American. They think they are the greatest, the think their country is the greatest and they truly feel that no other countries have freedom and democracy. It's this unfounded arrogance and egotism that's the problem. If they wholeheartedly acknowledged that they have problems then no one would mock the US, but they don't, so we (the rest of the world) happily mock and ridicule the US. This is then taken as jealousy and envy by the US, because of their arrogance and egotism.
To put it bluntly - no one really cares about the US, we just want to see one of the biggest hypocrites on the face of this planet crumble and fall. We want to see a bit of humility.
American civilians are also the most heavily armed then any other country
You right, why they don't talk about this?
Thank God just imagine if we wasn't!

SorbusAucuparia shut up karen
Americans be like: but, but China..
Chinese be like: [This message is censored by the Chinese Communist Party]
Lol Americans don't need to say anything about Chinese police. I lived in china for two years. I saw a lot of interaction with the police there and I have dealt with the police here in the US. The police in china carry rifles, but i have never seen them use it. Ive seen them beat up people but not before arguing with them first. They are trained better. I did not speak the language, I am black and I use to get lost a lot. The cops there were patient, helpful and able to do their jobs. The cops here are petty, unable to help with anything, and just bullies. When you have an actual problem they try to make you look like a criminal.
So while china does have many problems, including racism, their police are way better.
@@getsynernst8500 and Snowden dont agree with you,and American FBI are watching your everyone.
China has 118 people per 100,000 in prison whereas the US leads the world with 1,000 people per 100,000 in prison. One fourth of the world's prisoners are in a US prison. The US doesn't like spending $125 a month for food stamps but thinks nothing of spending $80,000 a year keeping a person in prison.
Yes, almost no education for cops in the US.
I have high respect for European Countries. They see a problem they deal with it immediately. Yes things do happen around here which isnt ideal (certainly not as the same level as the US) however the government learns from their mistakes. In the US they have been debating about police for decades, they debate about guns for decades and still there is no solution to be found in that country.
Among several issues, one of the problems is that the police treat EVERYONE like they're hardened criminals. They pick on and beat up a 63 year old deaf man as if he's a murderer just because he's not immediately complying (duh, because he's deaf).The police over-react and make a big deal out of a situation that probably should have just been left alone. Or a situation where someone needed assistance, not a bullet through their head.

Right I’m sorry but stop saying UK when it says England and Wales. They are different things. Don’t use the UK flag to represent England and Wales. The UK flag represents four countries
Yet England and Wales ARE PART of the UK. So when someone says something happened in England they could also say it happened in the UK. OR when someone says they own a black cat it can logically be said they own a cat.
Really it’s 3 and 1/5 countries, if you are getting picky.
Raymond Davis Scotland and Northern Ireland have different laws that’s why it’s not the U.K. England and Wales have the same laws. I know England and Wales are part of the U.K.
@@hollllllyl Who Cares? My ancestors came from England and once I was proud to say that but no anymore. You have let the 3rd world and socialism in and now you have become a country no one recognizes. We are doing the same thing lately.
Northern Ireland police carry guns unlike England, Wales and Scotland.
Not only policing. Most citizens in other countries like Europe they don't even have guns.
@Anzu Wyliei yeah like Germany has a higher per capita gun rate than freaking Russia.
Anzu Wyliei
The USA has the most civilian owned guns per capita.
There are civilian owned guns in countries like Germany (5.8 million legally owned firearms), but far less than in the USA.
finland and switzerland have a very high amount of gun ownership. so that is no excuse
Well since the police force in the US is also used as a revenue source, The police are there to get tickets and arrest... they usually have quotas to achieve each month.

Different lol. Seriously. USA police are hugely differey. First of all in most of Europe they have a longer period of education and I'm not Taking about high school or whatever is before the academy. The police academy in many European countries are 2-3 years of education.
In Romania it's 3 months lol
Are US police different?
Americans: huh, maybe...
Rest of the world: Duh
They're definitely are heavier, heavily armed, poor training, bully type attitude.
Oh yes! They are extremely different. Am black and I live in Austria in Europe. I have never experienced something to do with racism for a single time.

That’s not a really good standard
Google 'deaths in police custody in Brazil' and look at a few different sources to get a better idea.
if us police have to be compared to brazil police to look favourably, their ability to uphold the law should be questioned.
FranDux, the US is only partly a first world country.
I googled it. It was 297 people per 10 million people in 2018. That's about 10 times higher then the chart here of the US.

Do they jave police system or law enforcement to start of with do they do their work there where american are influenced by their work and abusive and force their power others
I really do appreciate the interviewee's honesty though. He presented both sides of the coin, and volunteered that there are other countries much worse than the US. It is rare to see people not playing to a narrative these days.
Those other countries aren't awash in guns like the good ole USA .
I am sure the criminals, who could care less about the laws responsible people all live by, will turn in their guns under a buyback program.
In Italy police forces are heavily armed (traffic stops are made by two policemen, both have pistols, and one of them is armed with an SMG). Weapons are quite diffused (one firearm every 4 people, so less than in the US, but not an order of magnitude less) and the last man killed by the police is the terrorist of the Berlin truck attack, on Dec. 23 2016.
@John Huffington Can't really buy back something that was never yours. Besides, what happens when people refuse to sell?
@@jaroe5349 "your"
We need gun control, and we need to persuade and shame the gun owners into giving up their guns. If they have to do it “because police will die if they do not”, then that is a more acceptable reason for them than because the feds want them to
You need quality workforce. Not thugs,truck drivers and McDonald boys becoming policemen.
I would trust a policeman more than some guy buying cigarettes with counterfeit money.
One statistic that I really missed in this otherwise great interview was length of training before active duty. I see that many comments have touched upon the subject and rightfully so. 3 years seems to be the standard in many European countries. I will give Ryan Heath the credit for raising the issue of lacking or non-existent training in de-escalation - which is a linchpin in many European police forces. Also, the number of firearms circulating in the different countries would have been nice to have had.
You'd think that given the higher number of gums in the US, police would be better trained. But last time I checked it was about 3 weeks of training on average in the US. Imagine if your surgeon didn't receive 13 years of post-secondary education but 13 weeks...
@@yabbamita3 weeks is way below average. Be careful with that kind of misinformation. The average is anywhere between 6-8 months which still isn’t much but I’m not here to make a case on that. However, that’s only referring to the application and screening process to join the police academy. In general, it can take up to about 2 years to become a fully fledge police officer. In other jurisdictions it may be less or more. I don’t think the general public has the minimal idea on how long it actually takes to become an officer.
YES...as an american living in England for 30 years....they are macho military men compared to the 'bobby's' here who have manners!

Every single uniformed officer in Japan carries a firearm. They rarely use it but it's there.
As a last-ditch option. Not as the go-to tool. Like in most civilized countries.
Some british cops do have guns, but you have to do another 1 year of training for a pistol which ur not always aloud to take on call with u and you have to do another 3 years of training to become an armed officer
The Chiefs have to keep the private prisons full to capacity so that they can get kickbacks. You end up arresting people for crossing the road and for being homeless.

Yes they totally forgot about that

From what I've seen your police seem to think they're above the law. They do things without any consequences and so they seem to do what they want.
Just my view from the outside
Who asked for it. Your view is skewed.
How many Police died in 2019 and 2020 compare other countries ?
USA: Every citizen can purchase a gun legally, the country is filled with guns.
USA police: Most of their training revolves around shooting or dealing with gun violence.
Americans: Woah why is our police doing so bad?
The criminal system is corporatized , so there’s no interest in change. just like pharmaceutical companies don’t want people to take their health seriously.

I can't imagine why they use them, its so great their and you do have a big problem with drugs in Amsterdam but because its legal nobody cares. It may sound worse in the USA but we have 320 million people to your, maybe 65 million? Percentage wise i doubt it, Remember I was there.
The fact is once everyone gives up the guns once and for all then we can start talking.

Karl Marx was right about liberals. You sell out the worker class just like you are
American Police : We feared for our lives.
Other police (mostly) : we also feared for our lives, but its a necessary sacrifice to protect.
So being a police officer means means your not entitled to fear for your life? Seriously even if they sign up for it they should still be able to defend yourself they shouldn't sacrifice themselves if they don't need too.
