      "Police called to yoga class mistaken for mass killing.* - this really doesn’t suggest that the police killed anyone, just that they were called to a Yoga class which someone thought was a mass killing scene. Your suggestion, in fact, sounds weird.

      We have cops killing kids with toys, we can have them kill adults just because they look kinda dead in the floor.

        When was the last time that happened in the UK?

        In fact, when did that ever happen in the UK?

          The UK police rarely shoots, and if they shoots it’s people with knives or guns. Most of the rare instances where they don’t are always a big deal.

          And even if people have knives. I’ve seen videos of UK police dancing around some knife wielder trying to get this done without bloodshed. The Americans think it’s silly, but in the end the UK got a lot less people dying unnecessarily, so who is silly on that point?
