The UK police rarely shoots, and if they shoots it's people with knives or guns. Most of the rare instances where they don't are always a big deal.

And even if people have knives. I've seen videos of UK police dancing around some knife wielder trying to get this done without bloodshed. The Americans think it's silly, but in the end the UK got a lot less people dying unnecessarily, so who is silly on that point?
