- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- LBC looks into the equipment UK police forces hold compared to the equipment US cops hold. American Police carry two firearms and a taser whereas only specialist police carry tasers and firearms in the UK.
LBC's Nick Ferrari is campaigning for more police to carry tasers as part of his Time For Tasers campaign.

@@Sturmv0gel You cannot be more wrong. You're telling me he cut a compromising slice into his body armor to put a mount for another weapon? If you watch the video he clearly just rips a velcro attachment from his undershirt off and the pistol is mounted on top of his vest. Did you ever think about what you were writing?
Most police officer's shirts actually unzip though it looks like its a button up. It unzips so the officer can access his backup weapon which can be carried on his bulletproof vest. So to answer your question he still has on a bullet proof vest. That being said not all officers carry the backup weapon like that. I have never carried my backup that way.

@@cobephillips846 dont think its a secret magic trick to have yet another gun. Just a backup in case his main gun would have some kind of catastrophic failure (highly unlikely) or more likely in case he would drop his main gun in a car accident or a fist fight. Or maybe in case he would be in some huge shooting and some passerby would be unarmed but well trained (off duty military or cop), so he could give that guy a gun. Something like that. No reason not to tell.

The UK doesn't have to deal with the same situations that US officers do. They don't have the guns on the streets we do so of course they don't need guns, they have them, but they don't need to keep them on their person. Take those UK officers and let them work in Chicago and see how comfortable they feel with a tazer, some pepper spray and a stab vest on. When the UK does have an incident where guns are involved, they get their guns out. You don't take pepper spray to a gun fight.

Ari Takalo Usually the drug cartels are packing some serious heat. And if you’re expecting to get into a series of small firefights, say you Fire half your mag in the first engagement. When that’s over, you’re gunna want a full mag for the next one. So you swap mags to top off your ammo.
Ari Takalo many cops can barely shoot, so they fire 30 rounds to get one or two hits. Sometimes those hits are their intended target too.
@@justin3594 train the cops better. No amount in adding weaponry can fix badly trained staff. Ofcourse it is matter of priorities and resourcing. Long and well trained staff is more expensive compared to quickly and thus poorly trained staff. If people invest lot of tine getting trained for profession, they expect comparable return on their investment.
Also longer trained and more disciplined staff can them be given heavier firepower safely and responsibly.
All giving more firepower to badly trained staff does is increase damage bystanders and innocents.

@Awakened Virtue no, non criminals should be even more scared than actual criminals because an officer talking to you could escalate to you wrongfully being killed very quickly if you live in the US. This fear should multiply 100 times if you're not white. If you're innocent and you're not white and reject an officer checking you out it will escalate to the point of your life being threatened VERY quickly. If you don't believe me watch the recording of this officer attempting to investigate a scene of this black man picking up trash at his own residence because the officer thought he was invading someone else's property even tho he was on the public sidewalk. The officer had no right to investigate this black man on a street picking up trash. INFACT YOU SEE A WHITE WOMAN WALKING BY ON THE SAME PATH YET HE DOESN'T INVESTIGATE HER FOR "INTRUDING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY." within 20 minutes the officer was putting his hands on his gun because the man continued to pick up trash at his residence.

@St Cam it may be the same but the way it's done is different. In the UK it's much harder to get a firearm therefore there is little gun crime. More people die from stabbings and police almost never need do deal with these people face to face. The people are unarmed and so is the police

"going at the mercy of the wolves" This phrase really stood out to me. I feel this describes the relationship and the problem between police and, not even just criminals, but basically the general public in the US. They are straight out enemies.
I don't get the same feeling when the UK officers are talking and I never had or heard of that here in Germany; not even when an officer approached me because I did something wrong.
There simply ain't this lingering sense of threat.
In my opinion, this is by far the bigger issue in the US, and and outweighs the entire gun-debate. The disconnect, the trench between the police force and the general public they "serve and protect". Every encounter is a potentially life-threatening event; for both sides. I'd say that the availability of firearms in the US is merely a multiplier, It makes an existing bad situation worse. But it ain't at the root of the issues.
Absolutely, more and more in the US the police develop this 'us vs them' mentality where the priority is to protect themselves and eachother rather than the citizens they're meant to serve. Policing in the UK isn't perfect, but they are regular people in uniforms as Peel intended.
@Opai-sama No, I don't. This wasn't meant as a "US Cops bad"-post. I am well aware about the hostility towards Cops in the US, that with every encounter he could face a gun. And that's equally insane. That's also what I meant mentioning the lingering sense of threat when hearing the US Cops speak, that's exactly what comes through in the phrase above.
I can understand that a criminal may see a Cop as an enemy, but average citizens?
The Point I tried to emphasize is the disconnect/the trench between the executive force and the general public, sometimes even including the other two forces of the state. And again, this goes both ways.
It's like a standoff between two armed groups, and everyone waits for the other one to put the guns down first. And nobody adresses how crazy it is, that in 2021 in the richest nation in the world, there's a standoff between two armed groups. This ain't the wild west anymore, and it's not a warzone, yet.
Police are def not the enemy
How does UK police equipment compare to US police equipment
..........it doesn't.
UK Cops have 1/4 of a US Cops kit
Well yeah because the uk doesn't need the equipment the US have. Very rarely the uk police would ever need a gun because they can resolve it without one
Josh F I wholeheartedly agree with you there mate,I live in Scotland and the majority of police here don't even have tazers.I'd definitely feel a lot safer if our cops were armed.

We all wish we had these UK kits here in the U.S but the reality is that the situation here is much more different.
British cops are trained to de-escalate a situation, american cops shoot first , ask questions later
no i don't. if you come at a cop with deadly force then they need to apply the same level of force. We believe that criminals are responsible for their actions, thats the key difference here. Keep UK sentencing and policing in the uk please
@@IconoclastX Um, so do we. If someone is shooting at our police, we don’t only try to de escalate the situation we will summon Armed police with firearms in a matter of 2 minutes to neutralise the suspect.
However, the point he was trying to get at was in circumstances where lethal force is not necessary. Such as when someone has a knife, a taser will work just fine and is non lethal. Or when someone is fleeing from police, albeit that is a crime it doesn’t deserve a death sentence.
@@iliyanovslounge It's extra risk for no reason. The situation shouldn't have to be prolonged because of some perverse and low iq interpretation of "civility" which compels far left European countries like britain to pamper violent offenders at all cost to the innocent.

Just so everyone knows, the U.S. Policeman's kit is dependent on the budget of the individual department. Not every department has a universal soldier/rambo kit outfit like this

We do have an armed UK police force but they're only called if a gun was actually being used in a crime scene or a person suspected carrying a gun.
No point explaining to some Americans here, on the comments they are making jokes about the UK police lack of equipment while not taking into account the lack of de-escalation on part of the US cops.
So UK police uses logic before sending armed police forces in crime scenes....logic is not Americans' strong point .
Nickolas Gaspar so basically you only send in your guns when the attacker gun has been used...at that point it’s too late

Which is a really smart strategy. The police have to focus on calming down situations, instead of directly drawing their gun or arresting people arbitrarily, just because they're scared.

@Demon King Most gangs in London have guns and are not afraid to use them against the police. Still in the UK we have a big risk of someone getting shot or killed in a big city. It's easy for criminals to get guns in the UK

guns are also used to save people more often, the gun related deaths in America was 39773 in 2017, 60% of those were suicides, 2.5 million people are saved by guns each years, I see the pros outweigh the cons by a long shot
Hardly sensible comment at all. I love how you lot say it's because of the gun presence here. No, no it isn't. Go watch all the cop body can footage where tazers don't work on many people. By the time they rush you, with their hands or knife or someone else. You're probably dead. Guns save lives.
