I posted this elsewhere but I doubt anybody clicked on it there. I think it's pretty cool so here it is again.

This is yet another Nyan cat video, isn't it? Nice try.

Interesting since at that time, British Police didn't carry guns.
Of course, there's this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piWCBOsJr-w

There is no reason to be within reach of another when using one. It totally takes away from the form and function of a weapon. Still and all you don't propose to even attempt to disarm someone with a gun do you? I used to have a running bet when I was teaching speed cuffing courses for anyone who felt they could disarm me, even from that distance, without being shot. Needless to say we used paint ball guns. It is just not feasable, even with that high level of training. A pistol is just way too dangerous and the concequences of just a slight miscalsulcation are unfathomable. Yep it makes for cool video, but in the end is just really stupid.

Landmark, as far as I know British police still don't carry guns. Or have things changed? And this brings something odd to my mind. I am also wondering whether British Bobbies no longer walk the beat. When I was in London last October I never saw a single policeman the whole week I was there. When I lived in Britain. I would see a cop somewhere about 6 times a day. What happened to them all?

I think Bas Rutten proved on "Fight Science" that it is possible to disarm faster than the average person can react, but I agree that it still doesn't mean it's a good idea.

It is not about "reacting" it is about the fact that during the situation the person is heightened in the first place! Bas would not stand a chance if it was me with the gun, because I for one thing am not going to put myself in a situation where he can reach the thing. PLUS it is unfair. The guy is trained and the conditions are far from real world and it makes for good tv. Great. In the world, a VERY LARGE percentage of the time he would be injured so badly he could not continue his manuver. Then death. It only takes ONCE. I havn't done cop work or speed cuffing in decades, but I bet a dollar to a doughnut I would still be able to stop him from his manuvers if I had a gun. The very nature of people with guns is they do not make predictable moves. You can get very dead very fast. A certain amount of compliance is what is called for more than any goofy moves. I know you seem to agree, give up the wallet. I just think that when these guys put this stuff out, it is sort of an artificial measuring contest and a disservice to the people who idolise them. It is bad advice that can cost someone a life.

Danny is quite right about all the crime in the UK. In fact they often call it "Crime Island". After all, wickedness and evil is part of our glorious heritage. And it is also true that I have seen far more crime in the UK than I ever have in the US.
The difference of course is that there are very few crimes with guns in the UK. They are pretty rare so I think that is why the police don't really need them to any great extent. Canada is different. The police have to have guns up here because of the proximity of the US border. Guns are smuggled up here in great quantities. All Canadians are capable of smuggling down there ia great quantities of marijuana. Our illegal exports make some people happy. Your illegal exports can get some of us killed. |
