Difference is bill our officers use tasers and although the American police have tasers too they invariably go for the hand gun, although in fairness if the Manchester airport incident had happened in the USA the people causing the disturbance could well have been armed . Almost 1200 citizens shot dead by American police last year alone, the problem to see is the ridiculous USA gun policy. I don’t want our country to have a gun culture like the USA, truly scary place to live.
