  • but cops are the same everywhere

    You have yet to demonstrate this

    I believe you had some riots about that a while back.

    No, I didn’t have riots. I don’t live in the UK anyway if that’s what you’re inferring.

    there were over three hundred police caused deaths in england and wales between 2021 and 2022

    Why lie? The number is 217. A number that includes all sorts of things, including people dying of natural causes in police custody or dying shortly after police contract, for example in a traffic incident of their own causing. What’s the comparable number for the US? We know that US police shot over 1000 people dead last year. That’s just one type of killing and given the population difference between the UK and USA it would put them at an equal rate, but that is ignoring the fact that the UK number is for all deaths, not just direct killings. The number of fatal shootings in the UK in 21/22 was 2.

    So don’t call them unless you want someone to be hurt or killed. That’s just basic safety.

    Only if you live in a 3rd rate country that doesn’t have a proper police force. I’d have no issue calling the police on someone if they were causing a disturbance and I’d have no fear for their safety. Similarly I’d have no fear for my safety if the police were called on me.

    Projecting America’s problems onto other places is absurd and demonstrates a complete lack of awareness of places that aren’t America. You need to look outside your bubble and stop pretending that everywhere else is as shitty as the US. Also stop looking at situations as being black or white, presuming all cops are bad is stupid. Thinking in absolutes is not a good way to live your life.
