The UK has cops walking around with ARs and full auto SMGs on the streets and train platforms and they’re crying about china lol
For context, Chinese cops are unarmed. This is fine because people in China don't have guns.
As a tangent, I got reminded of someone saying that the presence of 50 000 guns in China proves that gun control always fails, completely ignoring the fact that China has a population of 1 400 000 000. That is a rate of 0.000036 guns per person. In comparison, the USA has more guns than people.
Cops in china are not only unarmed but they are also friendly and helpful, from my experience anyway even as a dumb annoying westerner.
Completely different vibe from cops in imperial core
Cops in China: some fellow you could play cards with
Cops in America: some fellow you'd rather not approach
