As an American I tend to think of European and British police as being less violent, because they are frequently not carrying firearms, but their tactics with vehicles are often much more violent than would be allowed in the US. As an example, here's an NYT article from 5 years about about "tactical contact", which is used by the UK police to ram thieves on motorcycles and scooters: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/05/world/europe/uk-police-ramming-moped-video.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/05/world/europe/uk-police-ra... And here's a older Spanish video showing an extremely effective approach at stopping a fleeing motorcycle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LiyX-0YvfY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LiyX-0YvfY. As a generally law abiding citizen, this would make me feel safer around the police than the American approach with guns.
