NAYRT

Very very few. You're talking single-figures over the course of a decade. Three between 2000-2011, although an incident a couple of years ago saw two officers killed in the same incident. That was such a big deal over here the memorial service had national television coverage.

In 2010-11, there were 12,550 operations where the use of firearms/presence of an AFO (authorised firearms officer) was authorised. Of that 12,550 the firearm was discharged in 0.04% of incidents. So what, five incidents where the police used their guns?

As a guide, gun related homicide makes up about 2-3% of all UK homicide deaths (38 incidents in 2011). The chances of officers running into someone carrying a gun here are very small.

So what I take out of this is that ill_omened is making a comparison of incomparable situations, and whatever point they are trying to make is moot?

Re: God Damn America

[(Anonymous)]

Basically.

Like others have said, the proliferation of guns in US society is incomparable to the use of guns here. Added to that the fact that 96% of our police force aren't even armed, it's not something you can compare. We don't know what our officers would do if every single one of them was legally armed because it simply isn't the case. Shooting suspects isn't an option for the vast, vast majority of police-related incidents here.

There is no like for like comparison here.

There's no way those stats are accurate.

In 1999 just the Met deployed ARVs to 15,000 non preplanned operations. And in the last fifteen years you've only seen an increase in the present.

Take it up with the Government if you think they're inaccurate.
