I noticed that also in every city in the Central and West Europe; in comparison with America (specially central and North America) the cops here has a complete different patrolling doctrine that is not prepared for that kind of ostensive preventive/remediation repression.
During some events of the summer 2020/21 I was surprised that in some situation of confronts or ostensive patrolling they lack some basic things like tactical formation (and it’s variations), non lethal options only pepper spray for small units (no teasers, no batons, or precision options), lack of non-characterised units, and an unnecessary gear (guys carrying several keys in a big keychain) and loose gear (pants that are not fit for running, heavy boots with inappropriate shoelace).
And on top of that a concerning lack of situational awareness.
Of course we do not have the issues from America policing (truculence, lack of de-escalating skills, less intelligence backed and more confrontational) but I think it’s time to change if they want have any success against those gangs.
