I assume most British police are white, they'd be very safe around our police.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

I was poking fun at how bad the British police are. Police in the US and UK are polar opposites.

Meh, I would stick away from that career area. I am sure you enter that field with good intentions but you'd end up just doing what you're told to do by your employers or you'd be unemployed.

The problem is how easy it is to get a gun in the United States. I mean, you can waltz into any pawn shop and buy one.

Indeed, thus my stipulation. It works well here, though there is an armed unit for those who have smuggled in guns.
