Have you tried pulling a knife on an armed officer in Europe? I've lived in Europe and I would not feel safe doing that.

- Swizec 10y agoI haven't and I wouldn't. I don't imagine it would be much fun from me. But I would most likely survive the encounter. If you google "uk police subdue knife", you can find many examples. Here's one: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/london-police-knife-wielding-suspect_us_56636dc5e4b08e945fefcacd http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/london-police-knife-wiel... Quote from the article: "In San Francisco, the suspect died in a hail of bullets. In London, the suspect was subdued." Different situations, different people, I'm sure they're not directly comparable. But in general people are not expected to die from police action in Europe unless they're actively shooting at police officers or hostages or something similar.
