I think that’s my biggest takeaway. When the suspect submits what are you waiting on?

My anecdotal guess with only the very limited information in that video?

Someone with authority, balls, and experience to take over because the little baby cop who was talking didn't know what the gently caress to do. Presumably the person doing the talking was the first on scene. The rest would have been responding, and for most of them they showed up to a man being held at gunpoint by their partner with not much other information. They probably didn't want to make a decision because the only person who really knows what is going on is the "suspect" and the first cop on scene.

Obviously the solution is just to go up and cuff the guy. They were all so hopped up on adrenaline they didn't think it through until the camera woman screamed it out.

When you are being told, over and over, that your life is more important than your suspects, and your use of force is all about protecting you, rather than a method of responding in kind, its no surprise that most engagements with a suspect with result in death, and the slightest movement by a suspect, a person with little to no training on how to respond to a situation like this, can result in a sudden and lethal escalation resulting in their death.

Its partially a training issue, partially an image issue.

If the knife locks out, is more than 3" in length, then it's a pointed and/or bladed article and it's an offence to be carrying it. We have super strict knife laws but it hasn't stopped 40 knife murders in the first 3 months of the year, compared to only 5 firearm murders.

The actual rate of non-fatal stabbings in the big cities is pretty astronomical by Western European standards at the moment.

I don’t think you’re British, but that Facebook page is very much for a UK law enforcement agency for whom a knife like that would be like the equivalent of a ghost gun with an extended magazine and suppressor to an agency in California.

People also like to point to stuff like this when they talk about how overzealous the UK cops get over this:



I wish Hezzy or some of the other Brit cops still posted so they could explain this poo poo without laughing.

So under English/Welsh law (I'm not sure if it's the same in Scotland, they have common sense laws) literally anything can be used as a weapon, they are more or less broken in to three groups, the first are items that are primarily used to harm, so a hunting knife/crossbow etc, then 'modified' weapons, like a sharpened screwdriver and then improvised, and that could be a tennis racket if you hit someone with it or even just threaten them with it.

That picture would be far less ridiculous if they had said that the items were seized during an arrest for 'going equipped to steal', because it looks like a toolkit for a burglary and you can get nicked for walking about with tools like that and showing the slightest intent, like looking through car windows or inspecting a lock on a door. I nicked someone for walking down the street with Rice flails, because they are always 100% illegal in public in the UK. The idiot was going to the park to do practice his Karate Kid moves and instead someone called the Police. It's an 'absolute' offence and even though there are some weird loopholes like 'dressing in historical regalia' which means you could carry a basket hilted sabre in public if you're dressed as a Cavalier, there is no such loophole for rice flails.

If you need a knife for work, that's okay, but you can't stop for a beer on the way home, that knife has to go straight to work and then straight back home with you. If the knife is under 3" and doesn't lock, like a pen-knife, then you can carry it without getting in the poo poo.

There was some basewide email a while back that said among other things that knives over "3 aren't allowed on the base. Pretty sure my Gerber has a knife that's technically illegal. I doubt I'd actually get in trouble for it. The main takeaway is that idiots keep getting caught with personal guns in their car.

Referring to the amount of cops and the amount of cops only! I'm not defending anything, just addressing why so many would show.

A current belief in policing is that a show of force deescalates situations. As in, someone who may have fought one or two cops wont be willing to fight five or six. The logic is that this prevents the situation from ever becoming one where any force besides presence is necessary.

Anecdotally, I've seen it work.

No, escalation is by definition not de-escalation. For the small subset of seized people who are 1) actually dangerous and 2) Capable of doing a rational cost-benefit analysis at that moment, escalation like this might work. However, the number of times the outcome is going to be worse far outweighs the times it will work.

This is really not much different than a US police department requiring an applicant to have an associates or bachelors degree in criminal justice, police studies, etc.

Multiple technical colleges, like the one you linked, have programs to satisfy Quebec's police applicant education requirements which include so many credit hours of "policing technology" (re:criminal justice) education and a degree.

Quebec's actual police academy is 15 weeks long.

I hunted growing up because I was poor white trash and I could fill my freezer full of venison for the cost of a 20 dollar deer tag and a hand me down 12 gauge shotgun. We'd butcher deer in my grandpa's barn by making proper cuts of meat for one and turning everything in deer burger.
