Hence, if you do find someone who got nabbed by them, you would go looking for them in normal police stations not wherever they took them. Also, if they're involved in something but don't look like police but are still armed, someone else might actually call the normal police to the scene and that might escalate pretty badly.

@@billmclachlanamateurwriter idk about that the UK isn’t as big or as diverse as the US so not every department is trained the same. Some have employ good tactics some don’t. Not every city has the same demographics of population or social economics. So I feel like saying the UK has more of something (in this case training) is honestly subjective until proven objective. Plus many factors play into the training of police units in the states again due the its diverse nature of people, income status and overall general satisfaction of living in a certain metropolitan, city, town, parish or community.

I didn't notice that the first time I watched it, but yeah, that's a super sketchy way to carry a firearm. Even a small unexpected bump could cause a negligent discharge. I was wondering if this was just a British thing, so I went and looked at some videos of Royal Marines doing CQB, and nope, they all index, so these guys just aren't up to the standards of most professional combat arms folks. The giant GoPro on the front of the weapon didn't inspire a lot of confidence either.
