I am also in the UK. The police are a bunch of bullies. The fact they are not routinely armed means they murder less people than in other countries but don’t think for a second they are anything other than bastards
America is an outlier at the high end. Doesn’t change the fact we must assume all cops are bastards. There may be a few good apples who ruin the barrel, but one bad one can absolutely ruin your life on a whim with no comeback on them, so we assume they’re bastards to protect ourselves

Some British police forces are routinely armed, and use firearms significantly less than their American counterparts

Not everyone has the lack of accountability America has. Being a cop doesn’t make you a bastard.
There is not nearly enough accountability in the UK. Reread the last sentence of my previous post for clarification
The police here rarely draw their personal protection weapons nevermind use them
