@VeroniqueB99 Have you met the militarized police here in the states?

@rasterweb @VeroniqueB99 Have you met the French military that is openly used to police French cities nowadays? With automatic weapons.
Doesn't keep the French from expressing their opinion.

@yacc143 France is one of these countries where militarised police, the gendarmerie, is an ordinary thing, not a special thing. If you have heard of Italy's carabinieri, it's kind of like that.
The trick is that in France, there's also civilian, unarmed, police, doing most common police things, especially in the cities. In USA, all police gangs behave like they're the gendarbinieri.

Well, you are more likely to be gunned down by your own police if you do.
EU employee protections are great, we still ahve pretty good ones here in the UK... they've not got rid of them yet.
4 weeks paid holiday plus 8 public holidays. Most of us get 5 weeks plus those public holidays. If I work on the public holiday, double time + a day in lieu. 4 weeks full sick pay, 4 weeks half pay then statutory after that (£116 week for up to 28 weeks).

Total and and utter bullshit nonsense.

@amszmidt You're telling me USA has a police gang that doesn't carry its guns daily?
Because that's a major distinguishing factor in European police, in countries that have two separate systems: gendarmerie is ordinarily armed, civilian police is not.

@anomnomnomaly @IAmDannyBoling @VeroniqueB99 true, but most citizens ALSO have guns, and fighting an insurgency is not something the US has historically been great at. so... Ya know, probably evenly matched if it really came down to it
