In other parts of the world the police get a call saying there is an armed individual threatening to hurt hostages and they send a single unarmed officer to knock on the door?
- tshaddox 4y agoThe comment didn’t say it was only a single officer or that they were unarmed.
- phendrenad2 4y agoThat makes a huge difference, thank you.
- phpisthebest 4y agoYou see the police normally do this thing called investigation. I know here in the US the police have forgotten what that word even means, as they just react, often emotionally, jumping wildly to conclusions based on zero evidence. You see not every police dept in the world has removed all investigation from the responsibility of their police forces..
- lrem 4y agoThere will be a well proportioned response, but it won’t be an actual SWAT team. There’s typically one such team per five to ten million people and they won’t move for a joke call. But more importantly, with an order of magnitude rarer killings, there is much less of a “we’re at war with the bad guys” culture. In some countries discharging a weapon brings automatic suspension for the investigation, even if nobody gets hurt. Cops simply don’t tend get trigger happy in this environment.

- midoridensha 4y agoIn other parts, citizens generally don't have guns, so the idea of an "armed individual" by itself is already hard to believe.
