I think there's more violent crime here. Much larger country, more people, and a lot more diversity. Just because cops with no guns works in England doesn't mean it would be a good idea here in the US. Cops need guns here to be able to defend themselves and others, because many criminals here have guns. In some neighborhoods here it's normal to hear gun shots from gangs going off at night. No way would we send an unarmed man to deal with that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
