I believe the police would be the ones to bust a door and check on someone thought to be in immediate danger over here in the UK, too. The difference being that they wouldn't be going in guns drawn as if they were conducting a military raid.
- iainmerrick 8y agoYeah, that sounds right. The crucial difference is that police encounters in the UK hardly ever result in death. Edit to add: it's not just that the police are much less likely to shoot someone, but that people know the police won't shoot them and therefore they're less likely to react in stupid and/or dangerous ways.
