Saw this on Free Republic:

Terrified policemen pushed each other in a desperate rush to flee the home of a topless machete thug who told them: “I’ll take your ****ing heads off.” The two officers were confronted by bare-chested Daniel Meir, who told them to get out of his bedroom… “They ran down the stairs, having to push each other to make a quicker exit. “They retreated to a vehicle where they locked their doors and waited for assistance to come.”

r-selected cops, designed for an r-selected world are not fit to police a K-selected population. It brought to mind this article:

… we spoke to Charley Clark, who spent nearly a decade as a police constable and a detective constable in Hackney, one of the most deprived and dangerous boroughs in London… “I spent nearly a decade as a cop on the streets of one of the biggest cities in the world, dealing with violent dangerous criminals. The one lesson that everyone who ever became a half-decent copper did take on board was that the most important piece of officer safety equipment we ever had was talk. Every single lesson hammered home deescalation and Betari’s Box, which looks more like something your hippie friend would share on Facebook than police policy. And all this, rather than guns and tasers, are the most common tools London police have to persuade a six-foot lump of psychotic anger that what he really wants is to put down the lamp post and sleep it off… For those keeping score: angry violent man, no pants, children nearby. And still no guns. The conversation went something like this: Him: Well go on, fucking search me, then! I know you want to. Me: Not really, squire. I was pretty much hoping not to have to take my hands out of my pockets today. Him: You wot? Me: You got anything naughty on you? Him: Fucking search me, fed. Find out. Me: Nah, your word’s good enough for me. Got some folks here worried about you, John. Him: Ain’t you going to cuff me up? Me: Hadn’t planned to. You want to do anything that’ll need cuffing? Him: No. Me: Well then. All settled. Let’s get you to a hospital, shall we?… And basically, that was that. No handcuffs, no shouting, and, most critically, no guns. John got treatment at the local mental health wing and was fine until the next time he went off his meds. Of course, I found out that the next time, officers listened too closely to their radios and went big early. John broke one of their arms and bit a finger nearly clean off.

Call me backward thinking, but it just seems like something is wrong when your strategy to keep Police Officers alive is to make them so weak and helpless that any angry mob that encounters them takes too much pity on them to kill them.

The difference between the UK and the US is essentially the difference between r and K. r’s use social pressure and creative thinking to try and avoid conflict, while K’s meet conflict head on and subdue it. Interestingly, as our nations differ similarly in the amount of social welfare they provide, our cultures also seem to expect the same styles of policing as their innate psychologies.

My suspicion is that Europe has, on total, had far more peace and satiety than the US, for far longer, and that has altered their epigenetics toward r far more than the average citizen in the US. One prominent, if unfortunate example is attitudes toward self defense:

As soon as he unlocked it, three strangers rushed in and launched at him, toting baseball bats and a gun. The man retreated to the kitchen, where he found a knife and with it was able to overpower the intruders, two men and one woman… The homeowner has been convicted of “excessive self-defense and attempted manslaughter,” Helsinki news reports. He will serve an unconditional sentence for four years and two months, which he has to spend in prison. The man also has to pay damages to his attackers, with the fine totaling €21,000 (US$23,000)… The attackers… received one-year-and-two-month conditional sentences, which is similar to probation or house arrest…

Imagine how repulsive this is to our psychology. Yet to Europeans, this is a normal state of affairs. It is a totally different psychology.

In truth, the rabbit-like nature of the r-selected psychology is the only explanation for why the present Islamic invasion has gotten as far as it has.

Europe needs the Apocalypse even more than we do.
