Once saw a guy with a broken bottle walking about in town centre on a night out.
Police man walked up asked if he was ok and started talking to him like a human being not a criminal.
They both sat down on the curb and chatted for a few minutes. Then the guy stood up and apologised for scaring everyone and the police said they would drive him home to sleep it off. #Britishness
Yes, that's a good true story for Americans. British cops are not all perfect, but they don't kill people for some stupid tiny reason. I once saw a London police office deal with some aggressive youths, who wanted to kick the hell out of some strangers. He made them take the laces out of their boots, then let them go home... The police officer didn't have a gun and didn't have any visible weapon.
@Dave Stephenson The next day he wouldn't have been able to spell his own name, he was that shitfaced.
The hell you been smoking? Utter bullshit sir!
But what would you say now if the man stabbed the officer?

"Honestly, luv. I've never done a burglary."
He said bruv
He said bab :D it's a local thing
Indeed, he said 'Bab' as in 'Ow am ya, bab?' [how are you, madam?]
I thought he had said 'bruv' at first. Either way, brits fucking kill me everytime :')
Search on youtube for a sketch called: ''Meanwhile, On Earth: The Chavs''
definitely bab (as in babe). Local talk "orrite bab 'ow am ya? Fancy doowin a burlary dahn the road"
“Honestly bab I’ve never done a burglary”.. The most Birmingham sentence I’ve ever fucking heard
True XD
😂😂😂😂
Speaking as a resident of Birmingham, UK - I would like to say I’m glad we have strict gun laws, because in my entire life I have never felt the need to own one nor have I seen one pointed at me. Gun laws work.
They work? Explain why Criminals are still using guns to Shoot people in Birmingham UK?
@@nonstop9907 the number is still les high than in the us. so it works.
@@peaveyst7 More Lives are Saved by Law abiding Gun owners, they avoid becoming statistics and actively reduce crime rates in their areas, then Unarmed British people waiting to become the next statistic to the criminals that surround you, while crime rates keep increasing in the UK, and you say it ''works'' no mate an Armed Society is a Polite society and that works, you don't account for the amount of people that remain unharmed as a result of the defensive use of firearms at all do you..
@@nonstop9907 there hasnt been a school massacre in england in a long long time. Why? Because theyre not classed as massacres anymore because they dont have guns and have to resort to using knives. Because of this they are easily stopped by the school staff or police. Gun laws work.
@@nonstop9907 but gun laws lessen the ability for a criminal to grt one. Gun laws make it ten times harder to get something that can easily kill people.
13 murders in Birmingham audience laughs
104 murders in Birmingham Alabama silence
Still 13 too many
The 13 in Birmingham UK was over a decade. Birmingham Alabama, was in a year.
@@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming No, it clearly says there were 13 murders in Birmingham UK in 2016. The decade thing referred to the number of police shootings. The guy said there was about an average of one police shooting per decade.
There were 150 odd murders in London last year, but that is a capital city of 11 million people.

What? And no one got shot? Fake news.....lol
When I did a ridealong with the LAPD, they rolled out the red carpet. Every officer I met was very impressed by British Police, they would shout "no guns" "youre badass" and shake my hand or high five me no matter what incident I attended. Once, a sargeant said "any trouble you take this gun and you use it".. I was stunned into silence.. he said "youre a police officer you use a gun right" when I said no we dont carry guns he asked how can you do your job? They were really nice people.
It's unlikely you'll ever be attacked, but should you be carrying a gun can literally be the difference between life and death. In that regard, it is not unlike a seatbelt.
Being a cop is not all that dangerous, on average, in the USA. Commercial fishers, truck drivers, farmers, loggers and the like all have more dangerous jobs than police officers. Granted, certain cities are more dangerous but that also means that with the law of averages others cities are safer than the average.
Can you imagine being arrested and then Jim Jeffries stood their watching you. Like how fucking random would that be. "Naaa naaa i didn't do nothing, let me go! It wasn't me!.... wait! What?! Jim fucking Jefferies?!"
You could have had many movie stars in the US actually arrst you - Shaquille O'Neal, Ted Nugent, Steven Seagal, James Woods, Lou Ferrigno, Mark Wahlberg lol...
Barely anyone in the UK will know who he is and it's even less likely UK criminals would aha

Heather watson not all cops shoot random people dumbass, just because it happens with a couple of ignorant people doesn't mean it's all cops. Here in our local town the police actually are good and socialize perfectly & professionally
So why is your crime rate a hell of a lot higher than ours?
I was stopped by British cops in London once, and I must say that they were some of the nicest folks I've met. I don't know don't know how they do it, but they are truly impressive.

aha birmingham's a funny place to go to show that!
It doesn't have to be. Unless you live in the U.S. Of course. If you do, you should know it's too late for us. Some police departments are receiving military grade weapons now. The town next to me just got a couple grenade launchers. I'm not sure what they'll need those for. Can't wait for them to start carrying assault rifles to traffic stops. It's inevitable at this point. We're too far gone.
hbe421 My thoughts exactly. Birmingham is considered one of the biggest shitholes in the UK. He should've had a day out in York or Cambridge.

but no this is obviously the point of the video. to go to the shittest place. If he was in a nice town he'd spend the day feeding swans and moving 12 year olds playing on the wrong piece of grass.
I'm an American and lived in Warsaw Poland for 2 years (the capital). I didn't hear 1 gunshot while living there and while crime was present, I felt so much safer there. Within 6 months if moving back to the States I was robbed at gunpoint and then pistol whipped and left bleeding on the pavement. I fucking hate the gun laws in my country. It's a disgrace.
Who am I? So you know that he got that gun legally? That's why you hate the laws right?
thanks for that.
IRISHbearBELLY America if a man feels like he needs to buy a gun cause everyone got one. What makes kids not feel the same? Should kids then be carrying? The gun laws allow criminals to carry out attacks that no one has seen since war. When is it enough?
@IRISHbearBELLY America Choosing Norway to argue your point was stupid, you are definitely allowed to own guns there. Also, which country has the highest number of mass school shootings which are carried out by their parents 'legal' guns? Gun control does work but it requires the majority of the country to agree. The numbers killed in terrorist attacks is minute in comparison to the numbers of Americans killed each year by 'legal' guns.
Where is the hero with the legal gun that stops the criminals from using them in America? That shit just doesn't happen, everyone runs away and screams, no one turns around, shouts 'Murica and "opens fire" back at them.
Maybe it works for you so you can feel safe and wrapped in bubble wrap but gun control clearly does work for many different countries.
@Ak47ak74 Ak47ak74 You are a moronic twat with no grasp of facts or history.

I think the police do a good job
In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a culture of corruption in the police, notably the metropolitan police, and that reputation still hasn't been fully shaken off today, which is unfortunate

"The number of homocides here, 13" *laughs*
London has around 120 murders a year, so I don't know how they decided that Birmingham is the murder capital of the UK.
@@ajs41 Birmingham is much smaller, per capita
@Steve N London has 8 times as many people as Birmingham. London still has a higher murder rate than Birmingham if you do the calculation. 8 times 13 equals 104, and London has about 120 or 130 murders a year usually.
@@ajs41 They did not decide it. The UK Home office crime statistics said so in Feb 2017. For the period of Oct 2015 to Oct 2016, Birmingham had the highest murder count in the England & Wales. Now it is very possible that these statiatics were 'Outside of London' as such a separation exiats but I have only read articles reporting on the UK Home Office statistics and not yet seen the actual figures revealed by the UK Home office. So, I can't be sure but in any case 13 murders in the second moat populous llace in England compared to 100+ in Birmingham, Alabama is a comparison that speaks for itself.
@@ajs41 120 murders in a city of over 7 million isn't that bad when compared to any city in the USA.
I’m from U.K., our police are really cool.
You can have a laugh with them, and they treat you nicely. (Most of them)
Some cops just wake up with problems. That’s everywhere in the world.
Steve N the problem in the US is, the immunity in front of the law and the short training attracts bad people into the police force
Well said mate
Police officers are bullies, and certainly cannot have a laugh. They don’t care about the public they are just bothered about themselves. Your comment is ridiculous

@@generichuman2044 That was a freak rarity.
"How many a year?"
"We can talk in decades"
America arrests over 10,000,000 people a year. Birmingham only has a total population of 1,000,000.
colton You’re comparing a country to a city
@@coltonblake13 Birmingham, a city, has population is more like 2,600,000. The USA, a country, has the biggest prison population in the world.
He should have mentioned that in the UK being caught with a gun is a 5 year minimum sentence. Therefore the gangs / criminals don't have them, because A) it drives the black market price into the tens of thousands, and B) if you get a random pat down and you have one on you, it's off to prison.
If someone in Florida 'that you know' got life for a robbing a store with a fake knife, then obviously in Florida laws have no meaning. If you can't understand the law, then sure, it's not a deterrent. I'm going to assume that's not true though as it sounds absurd. Anyway, I'm sure the store owner was happy it wasn't a real gun. I know Biritsh store owners are certainly happy about their laws and not having to deal with guns in their faces.
You can own a gun if you have a licence for it. From shotgun licences to black powder licences, they're fairly easy to get hold of. A lot of cities have at least one gun shop. However, it's easier to buy a Brown Bess, or a Baker Rifle, or even a Cannon than it is to buy a handgun.
There are a lot of illegal guns in the uk and not just owned by gang members... no gun in the uk cost tens of thousands.
GTB_Greedy really? Where's all the gun deaths then? How much does it cost if you know?
EXACTLY. Been saying this for years but it just won't go through the thick skulls of the gun freaks. A black market only exists for a product if there is a very high demand because of the risk involved. If the risks are very high, ie, extremely long prison sentences for anyone caught in possession or selling a gun then the sellers and buyers simply won't bother. PLUS, because it's so risky the prices sky rocket and therefore lunatic mass shooters, who are often young kids simply can't afford them. Not to mention they are middle class and therefore don't have the contacts in the criminal underworld to know where to even begin finding a gun in the first place. Besides, why would criminals need a gun in the UK? No one else carries a gun so there is no need for them to take the risk of carrying one themselves.
Jim Jefferies with his comedic idol Bill Burr.
Thundernun go to my channel
Isaac Plumbo I enjoy the fact that you're angered by Bill Burr, lets me know that I'll never have to interact with you.
Some One How are you even a fan of Bill Burr if you take everything like a serious statement? I don't get you.
I don't know at all what banter is, I didn't at all include a witty remark at either your first and second comment, but maybe it's not banter because I called you a dumbass, but if that's true then you don't know what banter is either as you called someone a cunt and used swearing as well.
Isaac Plumbo And before you say what I know you're gonna say, I'll answer it with a snide remark mimicking what you previously said "obviously you don't know how Americans use the word dumbass".
UK police training aims at dealing with people, their lives and troubles. US training is dealing with weapons, crimes and possible death. If you treat people like humans they tend to act human. same is true for treating like people like criminals.
Oh please British police officers are not to be trusted and basically bullies. They have no idea how to treat people
The British police are trained, in shape and know how to de-escalate a problem. They're very friendly but at the same time, don't cross them.
Well, you can cross them quite a bit actually. It's as if they can see the difference between someone lashing out in frustration and someone actually trying to hurt them.
Less training than in the US though
@@bruensal7182 UK police have by far the most extensive training. That much is obvious.
@@MrJakeDC uk police training goes 11-22 weeks. Then you start as a constable and over a period of 2years you get another 10-12 weeks, so in total 21-34weeks. As a college graduate its even less, 6+10/12 weeks. We in Turkey have 2years, in germany its 1.5 years, in france its 1year. Uk police training is merely better than us police training. And polices like the NJSP, HPD, APD have 34-35 weeks
They are not considered trained after 22 weeks. That is basic training, required to continue training while working with a senior officer. The are fully trained/qualified after a period between 12-24 months.
Additional training will be required for specialist roles.

"Honestly, I've never done a burglary."
-Dude from Birmingham 2017
the peacky blinders must be really disappointed at him haha
Point worth making though: there are still thousands of sporting gun clubs all over the UK even now, with the strict laws. The only question you have to watch out for on your licence application is "What will you be using the firearm for?" If you answer "self-defence" you won't just be rejected, you'll probably be investigated. But if you answer correctly (shooting vermin if you're a farmer or shooting for fun if you're an ordinary Joe), then you've passed. Well, the first stage anyway. There's a lot more to it than that. But after all the checks, you can own a rifle or a shotgun and shoot as much as you like. Just not at other people. Seems rather civilised to me.
When my plumbing company went to an airport in london we started a big fight amongst ourselves in the cab line. And the cops came and just had us quietly sit down, and the soberest of us were sent off to buy coffe for the drunkest guys😂 i asked them if they would like take the instigators to a cell and we would have to pick them up in the morning. No we dont do that. We are a civilized country the cop said . Huh they were good police people.
My mate was doing a piss in public and the police saw him, they decided the guys punishment was to buy his mates a drink
1:49 You know we're doing bad when we laugh at that murder stat.
it's funny that they laugh at our "small numbers" and then it comes to their whopping figures and it's like ah... ok... um...
Actually yeah, the most shocking part about that piece was when the audience laughed at that stat.
London has many more murders than that..... well over 100 and could be 200 - 300......... london is a lot bigger than b'ham though
It was about a hundred in the last years (80-120). That's a homicide rate of 1.1-1.5 per 100,000 inhabitants, close to the UK average. The US was at 4,8 in 2015.
This show was full of lies there been more murders in Birmingham then 13 there's way more in London and Manchester to say 13 killings is most in uk is bullshit there has been like 12 killings in my borough this past 6 months and my borough is tiny in London there way more in other places but still lower then most city's in America because of the gun obsession and we have more sane people in the uk
It almost seems like not giving every nutjob access to firearms results in less gun deaths overall. That's weird.
Yeah, and another interesting thing, if you made it illegal to drive people would get in less car accidents!
@@MillionFoul
It _is_ illegal to drive a car if you haven't passed a test, don't have a valid license with you, don't have insurance or haven't cleared a background check for medical issues and criminal history. Strangely, you don't need any of those things to own a gun in the US, but you do need all of those things to own a gun in the UK. And even more strangely, the murder rate in the UK is 1/5th of that in the US. It's really weird, but there's no way they could be related, right?? Because the 2nd amendment says it's ok it MUST be ok???? BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD CHANGE A SET OF LAWS THAT WERE MADE TO BE "AMENDED" AND HAVE BEEN AMENDED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT HISTORY TO THE POINT THAT THESE "AMENDMENTS" HAVE BECOME AN ICON OF AMERICAN FREEDOM, RIGHT???
@@idot3331 Actually, you do have to pass a background check to own a firearm in the US, federally, and many states have stricter requirements. You do not (in most places) need to be licensed to posses a firearm because it's a right (do you need a license to go to Church?), ditto for passing a test (besides the NICS check), nor do you need insurance because why the fuck would you need insurance to own a gun? That literally makes no sense, since health insurance is a separate required thing, and if you shoot someone who's not you the civil responsibility is the same as if you had injured or killed someone any other way. If you break your gun that's on you, unlike a car, both due to straight up expense and the fact that the easiest way to break a car is by running it into another one. It's a pretty garbage comparison, really.
The murder rate is lower, but that's hardly a function of firearm ownership and more of culture. The UK is a country where people have been arrested for saying racist things on social media, and you have to have a license for owning a television. The US is also fucking massive, with a very diverse spread of crime, it would be better to compare individual states to the UK since they're more similar in geographic size and population distribution than the US as a whole. For example, Wyoming has about 63 guns per person, but a gun murder rate of 1.7/100,000, where New York has .003 guns per person and has a gun murder rate of 1.9. In the US, there is no real correlation between guns and getting murdered. Also, I'd personally rather live with a slightly increased risk of death from another person (a factor I can mitigate by not being retarded), than live in a nanny state where the government might tase and arrest me for having an electrician's screwdriver in my front pocket after work.
You could change the second amendment, if you had a super-majority in both houses of Congress and the states agreed to ratify the amendment. There's be no reason to do that, however, because gun control doesn't work, for one, and two, because a reduction in gun crime does not correlate with a reduction in legal guns in the US. If you want, there's a great interview with a cop in the UK on Mike the Cop's channel where he talks about being held at gunpoint by a twelve year old, because criminals still have access to firearms even when everyone else doesn't. Now, I know you'll argue that you can get guns in the UK, but it's a regulatory hell and you have to keep them at a sporting club, so it's more like paying extra money to rent your own guns than it is ownership. I'd like to note a great ATF publication which reveals that 70% of the illegal guns recovered in California (where gun laws are the strictest in the US) originate from inside California, indicating that smuggling is not the issue and more that it's physically impossible to keep people from attaining firearms: www.atf.gov/docs/163532-caatfwebsite15pdf/download. Essentially, no matter what laws you put in place, up to and including restriction of the second amendment, criminals will still be running around with machine guns and handguns while your law abiding citizens are disarmed and unable to defend themselves.
Anyway, the original point of my comment was this: If you take away all the guns, no shit way less people are going to get murdered with a gun. If you take away the air, no one will breathe air. It's a dumb argument to measure the use of something as a statistical point, while regulating the use of that something.
Then again it seems like disarming a nation is asking for trouble.. Remind me again who wanted his people defenseless and remind me what happened after their guns vanished?
Oh right.. the state grabs full control, almost like the current state of the European union...... wait a minute.
And a time machine....
The death rate is lower in the UK? It’s almost as if...
guns aren’t safe...
Don't say that you'll piss off the yanks
Don't you dare try and take away his freedom to gave his children turned into spongebob on a bimonthly basis at the one place yojd expect them to be safe.
@@mango3257 Right but how does that makes sense? As stated in the video in Birmingham Alabama (a city which is 1/4 of Birmingham, GB) the homicides were almost 10 fold. With the quarter of the population, the whole "You take away guns, knife crime will increase" is BS not only because A. By that logic if we can't eliminate all crime we shouldn't have laws at all, and B. It is a bit harder to shoot up a school with a knife. Also you can defend a lot easier against a knife versus a gun. If you train any martial arts (unlike those wannabe John Wicks over the pond.) you know that there are viable ways to disarm someone who has a knife. But instead of actually practising Unarmed combat they would rather shoot standing targets every 2 Fridays with the boys. If you are nothing without a gun, you should't have one to begin with. First learn any self defense martial arts or styles then move onto knife or other melee weapons training (same thing with people who like knifes or batons or whatever, they just don't train with them) and then only then should you get a gun if you really need it. And the thing is that most people don't need them they just WANT them. Guns aren't toys, they are used to take lives.
I grew up in New York state, arguably one of the top two or three states with the strictest gun laws - and 50% of the 300 million people living in the US hold up my state as an example of the government trying to take away the right to bear arms. Currently in New York this is how we are "restricting the right to bear arms."
If you want a shotgun or rifle, you can buy one. Just so long as it doesn't have more than ten bullets in its magazine. If you need more than ten bullets for hunting or home defense before you reload, then you're either a bad shot or more likely you want that gun for something else. Open carry laws are also a thing. You can carry your gun around outside and no one can hassle you for it. The SAFE act (the most controversial gun law of all) basically made it illegal to modify your rifle with certain things. Things like a suppressor (silencer) or a collapsible stock or a fore grip or a sawed off shotgun. Basically the idea is to make it difficult for people wanting to use a semi-automatic gun as a means to kill a lot of people very quickly.
In New York state handguns are illegal to own... unless you have a pistol permit. And those aren't that hard to get, unless you have a record or some severe mental health issue. Once you have your permit then the same laws apply to it as they do to the shotguns and rifles. You can even get concealed licenses to carry that pistol with you wherever you like so long as you provide valid reason.
As for New York City the laws are even stricter but on a state by state basis that's the strictest that gun laws are in the US - a country where there are more guns than people. And that's the other half of the problem. There are just so many guns now we're closer to Nigeria or Somalia than we are to UK or Australia in guns per capita. That's more than 300 million guns in a country geographically the same size as Europe.
I'm not worried about someone breaking in and stealing things. Chances are a thief will run if they get caught. But we do have a drinking problem in the US - we get called out on it and rightfully so. Drunk men with guns, zero inhibitions whatsoever pissed off for any number of reasons. If we could magic wand all the guns in the US away then I'd be all for it. But we can't and so now even reasonable people like myself think... Maybe a shotgun? You never know when some drunk idiot will drive their truck onto your lawn and waving a gun around.

1 gun caught in the United Kingdom maximum jail sentence of 25 years, 1 gun caught here in the United States maximum jail sentence is 2 years.
wrong! owning a firearm while banned in the usa 10 years, owning a restricted firearm in the usa (class 3) 20 years
USA one indictable offence conviction (regardless of prison time) banned for life
UK - owning a firearm while banned - 10 years
firearm without a permit - 7 years
UK - a conviction for indictable offence DOES NOT ban you ! only if you been sentenced to 3 years or more
feel stupid now !
geezerp1982 he didn’t do research :/
@@geezerp1982 Gun laws change from state to state I assume though?
@@pesmerga182 only on top of the federal law ! states cannot ignore the federal law on firearms, however each state can make their on laws on top of the federal laws ie. stricter etc
Not true. The maximum jail sentence for illegal possession of a gun depends on the type of gun in the UK becuase the law makes a distinction between prohibited guns and non-prohibited guns... For guns that can be legally owned (like shotguns and hunting rifles for example) but where the owner is prohibited from having one (say becuase they are a convicted criminal) the maximum is 5 years... For guns that are prohibited for any civilian to own regardless (like a fully automatic rifle) the maximum is 10 years.
Believe it or not you can legally own some types of guns in the UK and there are over 2 million guns legally in public hands, you just have to get the paperwork sorted first which means sending off an application form to your local police and installing a gun safe in your home. It's awkward but not impossible.
No guns = less deaths.
Crazy, isn't it?! :s
th-cam.com/video/b8L0sIrjOzc/w-d-xo.html Two sides to every coin luv.
*fewer guns
In the uk certain types of firearm are still legal. It's that there's a different mentality to them here.
yeah, make it illegal to put a hole in a cylinder of metal
@kasbian Vaulks the fact you have to show a sensationalised documentary to find people with guns rather it appearing in the news everyday shows the point still stands less guns means less gun crime and less shootings. BBC 3 is now for it's exaggerated documentaries
Kasbian Vaulks The UK has a murder per capita rate similar to every 1st world country. The US has a murder per capita rate 5 times higher than that. I'm from Leicester, a city in the same area as Nottingham and Birmingham. I've been stabbed, glassed, bottled, had ribs broken, my front teeth are chipped, i'm slightly deaf in one ear and i've got several scars on my head.
Not being allowed to use a device that can kill an opponent from range means I had to either learn to fight and pick up a few injuries or start running away. All you've done in America is replace teaching your children how to fight with hundreds of thousands of needless murders.
Get rid of the guns. Learn how to fight. The rest of the 1st world managed it. Why can't you?
God, it's British police really are like they are in Hot Fuzz and The Thin Blue Line, but more competent.
I don't think hot fuzz showed the police as incompetent, but realistic.

Beautiful eyes and natural blonde too. Smoking hot 👀
Brummies are a laff. That accent is the best.
Its way more then just guns as to why American cops act the way the do. Civil forfeiture laws and for profit prison also put cops in a position to be more aggressive and ask questions later
But mostly it' the guns...
Americans cops are pussys
ChasdielOfTheEnd It's because of lobbyists from the NRA backing only the most outrageous detractors of such laws while being funded by the firearms industry... I am a firearm owner, and I can confirm, those lobbies do not speak for me. Firearms need to be regulated, and that's not the same thing as "hurr, dey gunna tak muh gunz awayyyy."
Both civil forfeiture and for-profit prisons exist in the UK though...
Homini Lupus the ducked up thing is every time there's a democratic president they start spreading the fear of their guns being taken from them. Shits bananas.
Okay, does anybody think it's a little weird that the reaction to Birmingham only having thirteen murders that year was LAUGHTER?
Gunman610 Because we’re Americans and we find that hilariously sad how it is so low compared to our cities.
And despite being so low it's considered the most dangerous in UK.
Well, that's just tuesday morning in some schools in the USA.
Cuz they thought it was a joke.
The blonde officer with the glasses and hair in a ponytail 🥰. Shows how different policing is in any country. America really needs to revise its gun laws and not allow just any citizen to carry. Why would you walk or drive around town with a firearm on your person?
we cant say its wrong as america needs to make its own mind up on gun laws, i have a opinion on guns ownership but i have no right to say they need to change its gun laws even if i agree with you ..
@@dennislions1 yes fair enough. But because they're readily available, that's why they have problems. Something needs to be done about it. Especially regarding school shooting scenarios,
@@timl4257 Tim, we did try restricting carry of guns for about a 30 year period (from the mid 1960s through the mid 1990s) it was virtually impossible to legally carry in 49 of the 50 states. The result was a homicide rate multiples higher than before or since. The only state that didn't outlaw carry of guns was Vermont, and it's homicide rate remained low all along.
Most laws are at the state level in the USA due to how our Constitution is written. If one was to break any law the probability is one would be tried in a state or county court here in California. If one did certain things like federal tax evasion, smuggling, kidnapping that took a victim across state lines or smashed the windows on the capital building one would face federal charges.
It's interesting in that just last year when had a major Supreme Court case titled New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v Bruen. When the decision had been made but not yet publicly announced, naturally there was a lot of discussion about what the decision would exactly be. Everyone knew it would be pro-gun rights, but whether one opposes or supports gun rights none of us knew just how far exactly the decision would go.
One of these discussions was on PBS Hawaii (PBS being our Public Broadcasting System in the USA) where they had a discussion between pro and anti gun rights people with 3 on each side of the issue. One of those in opposition to gun rights was former Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin. He basically did the job of what Victoria Prentis does for UK government but in the Hawaii state government rather than the US national government in Washington DC. We have one attorney general for the federal government and 50 state attorneys general for each of their state governments. Anyway, he said that he was against loosening of gun restrictions because Hawaii's gun laws, Doug claims, are why it is the state with the 7th lowest homicide rate in the USA. What Doug didn't mention, though, is that none of the 6 states with lower homicide rates yet have anything like Hawaii's restrictions. In fact, those 6 states all allow carry without a permit. Currently 27 states have permitless carry. These decisions are made at the state level in the USA so they've individually gone to permitless carry over the 20-30 years, although the process has accelerated lately. Every time a state goes to permitless carry the left wing of American politics says that blood will be running in the streets. This is the worst sort of fear mongering because it never actually comes true, and I think that's exactly what they are afraid of. They are being exposed as having told huge lies for decades on this issue, and they have nowhere to hide on that.
There was a time in the USA when we didn't have the school shootings. It was when we put bonkers people in psychiatric hospitals for a permanent stay. Legally, that can no longer be done. The Parkland and Uvalde shooters both had histories that would've, in times past, resulted in being committed to a psychiatric hospital permanently. Indeed, this is true of virtually every mass shooter in the USA. BTW, there are those Americans who say we should follow the example of Australia when they confiscated all those guns in the 1990s after Port Arthur. That Port Arthur shooter was another that had a history of violent, sadistic, reckless, dangerous behaviors going back to childhood yet he wasn't put in a psychiatric hospital until after he killed 35 people in cold blood.

They tricked us into learning! Those bastards!
I know RIGHT!?
Curse other than the NHS this is the other thing we’ve done right
There are actually thousands of firearms in the UK but there only shotguns
Andy: Every time someone says the NHS is something done right you know right off they haven't done their research. The NHS is a nightmare.
You should check how the police does it in Finland as well. Here the police do carry firearms(because hunting weapons are so prevalent here and sometimes get into the hands of criminals) but are incredibly well trained and rarely have to use them. Even less often do they have to shoot to kill, those numbers are best spoken in decades as well. Like, statistics tell that between 2003 and 2013, police here used warning shots 40 times, had to shoot to wound 20 times and had to kill two people. That is a country wide statistic.
It takes 6 months to become a police in the USA. Most of it is field training, like shooting guns.
In Scandinavia it takes 2 years. Most of the training is in class rooms.
The American police is much more militaristic. More so today, with police departments buying surplus military equipment.
Keep in mind though that the population of Finland is similar to some large cities in the US.
The Grey Wanderer Finland doesn't have millions of drug dealers and gang bangers running around
The Grey Wanderer any person that teaches someone to shoot to wound shouldn't be teaching
The Grey Wanderer the gang population in the states is 1/5th the size of Finland

Great video but as a police officer's wife I can say we do worry. My husband has been stabbed and hit in the face with a hammer and hurt numerous other ways for which he now has a chronic pain condition. I couldn't be prouder of him though as I got to witness him arrest someone once and he was amazing and calm considering what we had witnessed the guy do. It's worrying that anything could happen to him and he is expected to just take it
ChasdielOfTheEnd I genuinely thought that whilst watching it haha. We put on a brave face as their support network but my heart has been in my mouth more times than I can count worrying he is ok.
Are you from the U.S or U.K?
Ty Wilkins U.K. which was why the brummy P.C's comment struck a nerve ;)
They said not anymore. So they worried in the early years.
thorr18BEM from my own experience & the families I know it doesn't go away you just have to manage it differently or you'll be a nervous wreck. They may just think they don't worry which is ok as they don't feel a burden but it sounds like police families don't worry and trust me they do
Its crazy to me how calm and normal those cops seemed lol
Jim, thanks for showing us how another country deals with crime in contrast to the deadly methods used in the US.
This needs to be a series😂
I mean, it kind of already is, with less of the comedy. There's shows like Police Interceptors that film British police this way
Excellent segment.
Jim, this is just awesome! I’m sure many Americans would love to have you do this in our country but, frankly, I’d fear for your safety.
Jim, pls do more of these!

The US needs to improve its situation. Over 2k police officer deaths since 1980? Thats way too much.
I wish our situation was like Canada's or the U.K's....
Im Dat Duck ...not to mention that police shoot and kill about a thousand civilians per year. By the way, many police deaths in the U.S. are due to traffic accidents.
Im Dat Duck we also have way more cops than they do on the other side of the pond do your research
I know that. I was just saying that i wish my situation was like theirs. I don't like that people hate the cops here in the u.s and i wished the police and regular citizens would be more connected.
Regular police officers in the U.K don't even carry a gun on them because they are rarely in a situation that calls for one. This means alot.
I mean what do you expect the cops to do when someone attacks them with a gun or knife just get killed? And most UK cops are carrying guns now due to the recent terror attacks.
my grandpa was a cop for over 30 yrs as were my 2 uncles and they never had to use their guns and they lived in the capitol city, life has changed dude
i loved how they played laughfing sound effects when they showed the deaths counter in the video👌
TheTigerKnightI I’m pretty sure it’s a video on his live show could be wrong though
I have to say, having lived in numerous countries in Europe & Asia, and having traveled extensively, British police are probably the most professional, well trained & well educated of any police force I've encountered. Maybe the Dutch too. They really are a pleasure to deal with, will always be friendly, and even if you're in trouble, will do everything to protect your rights & make sure you're safe.
I remember hearing from a woman who is very short and small. She works with mentally handicapped people. She said they can get pretty violent (they don't know what they're doing, they're capable of anything) and they're twice her size (not to mention since they have less brain function, their muscle function is greater, so they're stronger). Shes taught to tackle and contain the patients who are twice her size and strength and they NEVER have to use a gun. Just some food for thought
since they have less brain function, their muscle function is greater, so they're stronger)
lol. That makes sense in your head does it?
I know that sounded like a dumb statement, I'm basing it off a study. Doesn't mean it's 100% fact but there have been links found. Trust me, I thought it sounded dumb too. I also probably didn't word that the best
That isn't total bullshit actually.Quite a bit of our brain is for controlling muscles,whales have huge brains for example, not that they are smarter than a dolping,but they have huge muscle groups that they have to control.A similar thing might have happened with these retards.If you don't use a lot of your brain to think,you might have some more of your brain controlling your muscles. I am just speculating with the limited knowledge I have on the subject though, don't take my word for it.
This explains how after having a severe stroke my father flipped my car over in the driveway because it was an eye sore... less brain function.

I'd like your comment, but, well, it's just too depressing
It just shows our gun laws work quite well. You can own a licensed firearm here. I've owned a rifle and a musket in the past. There's strict control on its use and you cannot carry a loaded gun in the streets. Obvious safety rules etc. My guns were only used for reenactments and hunting but I don't shoot anymore so I sold them.

"guns are the common factor in gun crime" no shit sherlock
@@BlueEyes-WhiteDrag0n So you agree with me then?
Since when were school's allowing of guns in their property? The reason for school shooting's is not because of gun laws but the fact that they are showing people that no one in that area is armed which means it's a killing field in there.
@@didithdidith8303 So you think it's a coincidence that since passing gun laws the uk has had no mass shootings then? Absolute moron you are.

be aware: all cops in the world carry guns except for those in UK. Cops with guns are the standard in european countries and we are doing pretty fine. here in Portugal all cops are armed and we had like..1 suspect killed in 25 years or so
Negociador PT 1143 Not all cops in the EU are armed. The Gardaí in Ireland are unarmed, with a baton and pepper spray as their main equipment. Armed Gardaí and detectives can carry guns, but the average street cop is unarmed. Also, the PSNI officers have a sidearm, so not all UK cops are unarmed.
@@Mattrix94gaming mate 90% are armed..and even those who arent armed have firearms training and keep their guns in their cars (which i find way more dangerous than carrying it around) except for the uk
Negociador PT 1143 Well, thats not necessarily true. The Gardaí, from my own conversations with a guard, are not armed with firearms. They may opt for firearms training, which permits them to carry a gun, but normally, the only armed officers on the Irish force are detectives, Regional Support units and Emergency response units. As with carrying guns in the car, they have to drive a car that is marked with a red stripe to show they are armed, and the have to wear different uniforms to regular officers. However, the average squad car does not carry firearms.
Some European countries also still have national service as a requirement. If you spend time in the armed forces you learn to use firearms properly and respect them.
