The Police have Kevlar vests don't they? Wouldn't disarming nutters be more effective?
A Kevlar vest doesn't cover the entire body.

Gun control does.

The rates of Police killed in the line of duty in the UK are far lower than in the USA.
It's very rare for Police to be shot here.
In Wikipedia's list of Police officers who died in the line of duty there are just 121.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_B ... ne_of_duty

45 officers, who died in the line of duty between 1877 and 2024 were murdered by gunfire.

The majority of US Police officers who die in the line of duty are murdered by gunfire.

We catch and release here. Oh sure, we sometimes see shooters with no criminal background, but the daily shootings in our cities are done by recidivists

These cops were shot serving a warrant for felony gun possession, but sure we don't enforce our gun laws

Shouldn't have been freed in the first place. Recidivism.

I was actually in CLT a couple hours after the incident. Never saw so many cop cars and blocked intersections. I thought maybe Camel-Uhhh was in town
