Question:

How do you tell the difference between a British Police Officer,
an Australian Police Officer and an American Police Officer?

Answer:
Pose the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.
Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes
around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges.
You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

BRITISH COP :


Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!

Does the man look poor or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could we run away?

What does my wife think?

What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

What does the law say about this situation?

Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

Should I call 999?

If I raise my gun and he turns and runs away, do I get blamed when he falls over, knocks his head and kills himself? .

If I shoot him, and lose the court case, does he have the opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and the loss of my family home?





AUSTRALIAN COP:

BANG!





AMERICAN COP:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! 'click'....

Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Dad! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips?'

Maybe the yank didn't fully load the magazine due to "austerity measures"

PS: Mental note - don't get on Dude's bad side...

Was taught yonks ago;;

If you are prepared to point a weapon at someone be prepared to use it;;

Always make sure weapon is fully loaded and ready to fire;;

Always clean weapon after use;;

NEVER accuse anyone of owning a weapon,
then threaten them after wards;;

(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE),

NOPE
all wrong
due to budget cuts the english copper has been made redundant, so is not carrying his gun (if he was lucky enough to have been firearms officer), or if he was lucky enough to be working still, has been dragged into to guard his local Tesco against the rising tide of 11 yr old rioting hoodies, so its just his wife and kids and we all know that won't end well!!
