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.

Bruh an American cop built like a cod load out

[davidzyzz]

I like the response that the UK officer gave. He just straight up said “they work in a different environment” the UK officer has all the equipment they need for the environment they work in and the officer in the US has what he needs.
