British police actually care about their communities and favour de-escalation over violence since it curates respect and obedience better than otherwise. American cops favour large budgets and shiny toys that go boom and will allow whatever it takes to gain more of them. American cops also enjoy shooting people for sport as evidenced by the majority of police shootings the past several decades. British police have quail hunts for that itch.
I have spent my 33 years living in the UK. I've never seen a copper de-escalate anything.
You have to demand they present their de-escalation loicense
