An interesting article on the difference in the application of force in Scotland vs. the USA.  You wonder about how the differences in culture and weapons availability drive the differences.

They have a much more homogeneous society, for now.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

It really doesn't matter if the police here do all the right things or not, the thugs will make claims regardless of what happens and a certain number of people will always believe them.
