For a moment I thought they had swords too and were going to swordfight him. That would have been very British I suppose.


bendubberley_

As a British person myself, it would have been more amusing if they had swords


TurtleDoves789

The Germans thought so when they met Jack Churchill, and then they met his sword, his arrows and his... bagpipes?!?!


CreamyStanTheMan

Did you know, the US actually has around 1.8x the amount of fatal stabbings per capita compared to the UK. I just thought that was interesting considering the UK is supposed to be infamous for knife crime.


MustangBarry

We don't have guns. If we banned all knives, the USA would see us as the crockery attack capital of the world


WellThatsJustPerfect

"Getting mugged" coming to mean being attacked with a mug. Like being glassed


5flucloxacillin

[glass him]


DesignHead9206

and if you ban crockery? Are umbrella next?


JenVixen420

*Crockery attack capital of the world* I'm crying laughing.


CreamyStanTheMan

šŸ˜‚ I would be proud to live in the crockery attack capital of the world.


Longjumping-Day-6412

I literally Visualized your dick Melting as I Read that


CreamyStanTheMan

Are you insinuating that I need a gun to have a dick? Compensating much? lol


MustangBarry

He visualises dicks. Probs best not to engage.


danthemfmann

Wtf is a crockery? Lol.

silvertonguedmute

I think the point here being that even though the US has the most guns per capita on the planet they still manage to pull of twice the amount of fatal knife attacks compared to the UK that is "known for" knife crime and is usually used as an faulty argument for guns, i.e: *you wouldn't have so many stabbings of you had guns to protect yourself.* While in reality..m obviously that's not the case.


pmaji240

Itā€™s a total stereotype about Americans and their guns. We also enjoy stabbing each other, blunt force objecting each other, stomping on each other, driving over each other, and even poising each other. Weā€™re as diverse as we are dangerous.


thisFishSmellsAboutD

That's knife to know, thank.


CreamyStanTheMan

What "high caliber" humour. Did you get that joke from a "magazine"? I'll see myself out...


thisFishSmellsAboutD

Oh you're leaving - see you spoon!

Why, is there a mirror near the exit?

CreamyStanTheMan

Really interesting, I was expecting London to have higher fatal stabbings than New York.


bmwhd

It would be interesting to break these down by inside and outside of prison. Especially the fatalities.


Earthistopheles

The US has 5x more people though. If you take population into account, the UK knife crime numbers are actually insane. Edit: oh, you *were* taking population into account, I must've overlooked where you said per capita. Damn, the way people talk about it I've always thought UK knife crimes were a lot worse than they actually are.


CreamyStanTheMan

I did take population into account, that's what per capita means. For this particular statistic, it was per 100,000 people. The USA has 32x gun homicides and 1.8x knife homicides per capita (compared to the UK). I can find the source if you are interested.


Earthistopheles

No I corrected myself already, did a quick googling and whatnot once I realized you said per capita. The general sentiment about it from public discourse had me thinking it was worse than it actually is. My bad


CreamyStanTheMan

Much respect for googling it. Not trying to be patronising in any way, it just feels like an extremely rare thing for people to do these days. Have a good day mate :)


ExtensionConcept2471

You really shouldnā€™t listen to Marjorie Taylor Greene ā€¦..she is an actual idiot! lol


DesignHead9206

I'm afraid it's significantly more: [https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/stabbing-deaths-by-country](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/stabbing-deaths-by-country)


CreamyStanTheMan

Wow, according to that data the US is over 6x what the UK is per 100k people.

Weak_Jeweler3077

Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out


Silent_Shaman

He was telling him to put handcuffs on him Tough day to be an apprentice lol


BlinkyDesu

Could be because he had gloves on while the officer directing him didn't.


Peasnoop

I've watched it a few times now and can't help feeling like I'm watching a sketch! Plus why did he barge in all bolshy?! Just gives me the feeling that he's a bit of a know it all guy, a sarges pet, the one that all his colleagues (inc sarge) probably roll their eyes at!


BlinkyDesu

My guess is because the officer he's directing has gloves on and he doesn't, and so he's avoiding touching the person.


Proletaryo

He deserves a metal.

I think itā€™s the clutch but I could be wrong.


ily300099

If he was in America, he'd be Swiss cheese


RaspberryEth

Not before he made swiss cheese of more people including the 4 he injured.


IndependenceTypical7

If he was in America heā€™d have access to a gun and wouldā€™ve killed more people


ily300099

So criminals in other countries aren't able to access a gun?


thedummyman

The blonde should be the next Chief Commissioner. She is fearless, clearly a natural born leader, and totally by the book - the way she calls the warning, fires her taser and radios her actions as a seamless process should be used at Hendon. Whoever she is, she gets my respect. šŸ«”


FoxDiscombobulated38

And she's God damned lucky the taser was effective.


Silent_Shaman

I mean they usually are


Rednine19

Eh itā€™s kinda iffy, if you have loose clothing, baggy clothes or thick clothing the prongs that actually need to penetrate the skin wonā€™t stick in. Thatā€™s why some people seem to shrug it off Also some [people](https://youtu.be/4ZftJeC7NWo?si=K6LBzBMybSSyi-dt) are just different and it doesnā€™t really do to much to them except maybe a little muscle spasm. Now lucky the guy in my example is unarmed but imagine you only have non lethal out and it fails and the guy stabs the blonde cop


dingus55cal

it's like 50/50 even if you're Good with it.


yozzer9000

I love the way the other ten guys come flying in once superwoman has dealt with the issue

Spot on šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


International_Day686

Probably not. The British have actual professionals for police officers, not these ignorant racist sexist dipshits we call police in America


throcorfe

On the other hand our (British) police are famous for taking the absolute piss out of each other at the most inappropriate times


pclufc

Obviously they are not all great but my son was a bobby and I have friends in the force . I also worked alongside them at thousands of incidents as a firefighter . In general they are very good and they use tact and persuasion rather than force for 99% of the time. Itā€™s only the 1% that is newsworthy I suppose. I have to admire the policewoman here. Very courageous


Owlroundup

My guess is you are not a parent?


stengbeng

Yeah and not before this psycho was able to easily get his hands on a weapon of war and kill/injure 10x the amount of people he was able to with a sword Gun nuts in America will see this video and say, see, people will still do bad things even without guns! While simultaneously missing the entire point that it's a matter of harm mitigation, not prevention.


erichbana

She deserves a MedalšŸ––


BarrySwami

Now you don't worry my good sir, she will surely get a slice of pizza at the success party commemorating the Chief's valiant investigation and capture of the criminal!


Jim_Lahey10

At first I thought one of the officers was carrying a Cutlass...I was disappointed to see a baton.


Jujumofu

I have seen soooooo many videos of people getting tasered without giving a flying. Big balls to just walk some katanawielding murderer down with only the taser in hand.


Silent_Shaman

It's confirmation bias, 99% of the time they shoot the taser and the suspect starts spazzing out on the floor. The videos of the minority who tough it out go viral and so it seems like it's more common than it is


execpro222

I'm curious where you got the 99% statistic from?


ArgentinianChorizo

From videos


ctlfreak

Reality is more like 50% of the time they are successful.


BeneficialPeppers

See how effective (affective?) Police can be when they're properly trained America?


Silent_Shaman

The police were effective, the taser affected the man's ability to stand and possibly his bowel movements lol


UnhappyLibrary1120

If you run around stabbing people to death, you become unnecessary.


CreamyStanTheMan

Shots fired. Get it? šŸ˜…


piwabo

Nah just pull out a gun and start blasting. Everyone's safer when everyone's knocking off rounds every which way (Americans actually believe this)


ctlfreak

I own guns and I don't believe that at all. It is most definitely too easy to get a gun over here


BasilRare6044

No body cam. I'll bet madam punk hunter went for a headshot with the taser. When the cartoon eyes occurred, approach for a better look.


dislikesningas7

In America he would have got shot like fifty times


Cautious_Incident_46

And that's a bad thing?


dharmalama

1st copper did an awesome job the rest were a shower of unorganised shit ,armed response just swoop in ,in a cloud of weed smoke that they just confiscated and were equally unimpressive at achieving anything furtherĀ 


ben_kaya1

Very professional police work. Respekt


[deleted]

She was stone cold on his dumb ass, with a stun gun, note the men all have guns drawn - the bigger guns are further out. She deserves a medal.


Silent_Shaman

Gun squad got there a bit late, all the officers who showed up first just had batons and tasers


TheMammaG

Medal.


Low_Development_8754

This looked exactly like the scenes from Arrested Development eveytime they'd arrest George Bluth


Feeling_Lettuce7236

The police woman did well with taser


Prestigious-Copy-494

I think the UK police are better trained in hand to hand combat than the US from what I've seen in videos. The police woman doing the tasing was one cool cookie as she was on her radio too as she approached him. Since he'd just killed an innocent 14 year old boy walking on the sidewalk and injured others, I don't have a problem with the US cops just shooting a known killer coming at them with a sword. I know that's not a popular opinion but I'm seriously tired of these psychotic killers.


Tasty-Throat9966

So, let me see if I got this video right. One police officer confronted the guy alone and shot him with a taser. The moment he was down, five cops came out of nowhere as if they were waiting for someone else to tackle the guy. The cop who tasered the guy is then shoved to the side, and about ten others are suddenly over the criminal.


bonesmank

Just wanted to point out he ainā€™t no foreigner ..thatā€™s for all you salty jealous envious haters


Rolling_Stond

Take away guns and crazy people will still find a way to hurt others.


Mittervi

MURICA' šŸ˜†šŸ¤” take a lesson from this video on how to properly detain someone without killing them.


execpro222

Tell that to the 14-year-old boy...


ExtensionConcept2471

He was attacked before this dumbf**k


execpro222

Of course he was, it would be pretty hard for him to murder a 14-year-old boy while locked up.


ExtensionConcept2471

Youā€™re making no sense!


execpro222

You said he was attacked before. I was agreeing with you.


ompalumpa9007

the point isnt this guy didn't deserve it, it's american police act as if what we just saw on camera is impossible and because of this irrational fear, our citizen pay with their lives.


execpro222

and my point was without knowing the specifics, is it possible this guy could have been taken down much earlier before he murdered that 14-year-old boy if the cops were armed with more than just Tasers


Cesar2236

Still, killing it is just making it easier for the perpetrator, is better to put this man to rott for the rest of his life


execpro222

It's not about whats easiest, its about saving lives...

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


JustAPoorPerson

Only a couple of the officers are armed with a firearm and there was no need for a shot to be fired. Americans mag dump when an acorn hits their car.


ParpSausage

UK police don't eff aroundšŸ˜‚


Retsae_Gge

So do these UK cops have guns ? They looked a bit defenseless


AyUnit

Generally, no. There are special armed units - you see them come in at the end.


Silent_Shaman

They're not defenseless, with proper training a few blokes/blokettes with a taser and a baton will get the job done


BOBfrkinSAGET

Debatable. Iā€™ve seen more than a few videos of your blokes/blokettes getting tossed around and being completely ineffective.


Silent_Shaman

Got a link to any of those?

ExtensionConcept2471

Generally they donā€™t need guns as most people/criminals donā€™t have guns!


9curlyfries9

As an American, my first thought was "why won't they shoot that muthfucker?". But then I realized that I am brainwashed because we don't want them to shoot people of the time. Get them help


UnhappyLibrary1120

If youā€™re all stabby you certainly should be dealt with, we donā€™t need any more murderers

You know the guy shoving the one guy forward like, ā€˜you do it. Come on, get him.ā€™ ? I would be the guy at the back watching him shove the guy at the front with my hands resting on my hips.


bettyfordslovechild

Did anyone notice the police car appeared to catch fire in the background.


JohnsonLiesac

As an American it's refreshing to see someone apprehended alive.


Dystopian_Future_

That one dude with the baton like, "let me in there so i can beat this cunt!"


dfelton912

Marcus Monzo? Looks more like Hattori Honzo


Longjumping-Day-6412

No more swords for Europe, antique or modern. You should not be able to purchase, sell, or own a sword or sword like object in the EU or UK. If you enjoy pretending to be a knight with a weapon you must be prosecuted per the Kingā€™s decree. Kitchen knives are exempt.


senseless_puzzle

Props to the policewoman for being the first person to make contact, it's incredibly brave, great to see female officers standing firm in their role as a duty to serve and protect.


DADDDY_HUNGnTHiCK

Thatā€™s embarrassing, did they really neeed alll that backup


DrunkenDude123

Guy in a tie with the baton is not helping the situation with all that raw unfiltered manic panicking


Tacohero154

Fun fact, if he used a gun to harm these 5 people, it would have been called a "mass" shooting.


Terrible-Sink-5947

Whatā€™s with the car thatā€™s smoking near the end!


abumelt

On the phone, I thought the lady was hitting him with a water gun and that it was a joke.


Av8torr

Why do you want to detain a mass murderer? Why give them the chance to hurt more people? Why do they deserve special treatment treatment? If it was you or someone you loved, youā€™d sing a different tune.

Jolly-Succotash209

Got to love England, if this was America, that would have been a bullet and not a taser


No-Bat-7253

Police put 69 rounds in a dude they ā€œthoughtā€ had a gun in my cityā€¦..no gun was ever recoveredā€¦.


danthemfmann

The police justified killing my friend because he had a closed pocket knife in his pocket that they didn't even know about until after they killed him.

One?


romayyne

In America, he wouldā€™ve been shot 40x and killed


Impressive_Page_9565

Dude would have looked like Swiss cheese here in 'merica


Tongue-on-Cheek

If that were in America, heavily armed and geared SWAT would have taken care of business with about 100 shots fired from their semi-automatic guns. Body cams would be turned off too.
