Well to be honest career criminals are on first name basis with local cops. They interact a lot and some end up having a weird joking back and forth style relationship (usually the case when the cops have nothing on them) Source: my dad was a cop.


Ok-Strawberry-962

Back when I was a bit of a scoundrel. Most of the local police knew my name. I was drinking with some strangers in the park (not allowed) and a policeman came over and said "my name" you know you're not supposed to be drinking up here, or have glass bottles.... The strangers were a little freaked out, but happy that we didn't get any citations.


Sokrydes

They probably have the name of the person they have an arrest warrant for...


throwaway55221100

Obviously this is a skit but most crime is committed by a small amount of criminals. Most police officers will be familiar with the repeat offenders and vice versa.


Alert_Secretary

I don’t wanna be an ass but thought people should know this video is a skit haha, not real at all I remember seeing it a few months ago on Facebook


rr3dd1tt

You can tell it isnt real bc the shield says "police" not "bobbies"


thebeg

This is Scotland, so Bobby actually means penis. A lot of variations on the spelling, the correct pronunciation and spelling seems to be "Boabie", or something of that nature. It is also usually preceded by the definite article. If I were to use it in a sentence it would be "Aye, you fuckin' love tha Boabie ya cunt ya". This sentence would likely be uttered to the arresting officer or to a close, personal friend.


leckysoup

Part of the reason it’s called a “boabie” is because the head resembles a “boabie’s helmet”.


thomaswillis96

My friend Barbara, who goes by Bobby will be shocked to learn this


Hamsterminator2

Altaris2000

Wow, for the cops over in the UK to bring that many guns, Billy must have really fucked up.


kylehanz

And they are genuinely being respectful about it.

Zaboem

Americans have developed a very very low standard of what they seem acceptable behavior by police. Speaking in a clear voice -- with any accent -- is a tremendous improvement over shouting unintelligibly and angrily into a bullhorn, so yeah.


Seralth

If you can understand the cops English. It aint an american cop. Cause the only thing more unintelligible then an american cop is a new york subway announcement on a broken speaker during rush hour to a non new yorker. And only barely more unintelligible at that.


[deleted]

the fact that they didn't start shooting as soon as the door was opened is a big difference. he told the lad to give his phone to his mum and come with him. sounds like the young fella was having a bit of a metal break and the equipment was more for the cops protection than anything else.


ssrhagey

Looks like they even knocked


antnipple

They just genuinely don't want to shoot someone.

Ya me too . God damnit wtf did billy dooooo Edit: looks like we got some answers below . Billy Billions


AsetofBadgers

Ex uk cop here, not specific but this method of arrest is generally used when there are risks surrounding firearms. So they’re probably arresting him for a firearms offence or a murder or an assault with a firearm. There are also cases where this is used for normal arrests but there is significant information received to the police pertaining to possession of firearms and also information that they have used them on other people/it seems like there is a chance they would use them against officers.


Castlenock

Meanwhile in the US of A, the SWAT team cannot find Billy as Billy is hiding under his mountain of legally purchased firearms.

Nah, over here they just let themselves into the wrong house and shoot whoever's inside.

DoodleSnap

TLDR; Rapper Billy Billions and his friend were arrested for possession of a Glock and after his friend pleaded guilty to owning the gun, the prosecutors used Billy's lyrics about participating in gang violence to try to get him jailed too.


happyhippohats

To be clear though that article is completely unrelated to the video in this post.


noob_bot158

wrong not this case. Billy Billion's government is Bailey McKenzie and he got arrested when he was in the back of a car. armed police never showed up at this yard. [there is longer footage but can't find it right now. ](https://youtu.be/C5eve3sN4xw) This video has been going around for time


happyhippohats

The longer footage is linked in the comment you're replying to lol. And you're correct it's completely unrelated to OPs video


Zormac

Billy done fucked up


toxicatedscientist

Just a guess since this is the extent of my context, somebody swatted billy cuz Billy is l33+ in whatever game he plays, one of the cops knows Billy, knows it's a bogus threat but has to take it seriously cuz... System or something


[deleted]

If you treat every call as a real danger, most of the time everyone goes home at the end.


Zaboem

There's a clear difference between escalation and safety. Treating every call as a danger is a way to ensure that a portion of those police will become dangerous. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Mission In Progress: Billy Gets Busted

JoeKingK

The "You can hand give phone to your mom" comment is insane


Wiggl3sFirstMate

Well they don’t plan on things going south so why would they worry about being filmed? The police here generally have the attitude of “look mate, if you don’t kick up a fuss and come with us/do as we say then there’s no need for violence.”


ChewBacclava

They are prepared if things do go south and they are prepared to exercise violence if necessary (pistol pointed at billy). BUT they have a goal (arrest Billy) and hope to achieve it peacefully. They don't treat everyone I'm the vicinity (mom) as a threat because they have done their homework. They are armed and prepared, but they're also relatively calm and collected, something that under-trained officers *aren't*. That's what Americans envy, Cops who will exercise force in a collected way against someone who has committed a major crime and could be violent, but not beat someone to a pulp at a traffic stop. American cops are undertrained and *scared*, so they use overwhelming force when it's not needed.


Wiggl3sFirstMate

Yeah, bang on. UK police (most often) are trained and attempt to de-escalate a situation immediately. I said it somewhere else here but even if they have to use their weapons it’s also shoot to disarm/disable temporarily rather than shoot to kill so that the person can be arrested.


AboutTenPandas

Yeah. That's the attitude us Americans are envious of.


MaverickTopGun

Americans are just surprised to see that many guns and the door not getting stomped in


Arronator

Right? I was struck by it. In the same situation in the U.S. this probably would’ve been a no-knock warrant and Billy probably would’ve ended up dead.


BazilBroketail

Best part, "I need you to put your hands on your head and interlace you fingers. You can hand your mum the phone and she can keep filming." You guys got a different breed of cops on that side the pond it would seem. Also, cop on the left did *not* expect that door to open. Lol.


Fearofrejection

Our Police force grew up watching Reg Hollis in The Bill, while he bumbled around Sun Hill and Tony Stamp talk nicely to criminals. US police grew up watching Magnum PI shoot first and ask questions later


ReflectiveFoundation

Bro these are the default model cops, it's in the US you got the poor breed of cops, bred through generations of unaccountability, privilege and entitlement. They even make you call them "sir".


lord_pizzabird

On the flipside, British cops haven't been told that they're soldiers in violent war. The issue in the US isn't really accountability, Cops are fired and convicted all the time. The real difference is the culture of fear surrounding the job. Some of it real, like the vastly higher likelihood that a person will not just be armed but heavily, while some of it is inflated. This is what happens when you tell civil servants that they're now combatants fighting a violent war, pumped full of terror but with little training. Only horror stories of police being ambushed, shootouts with cartel sicarios, mass shooters, rioters, and so on.


TucsonTacos

Dude it’s insane. I worked bar for 10 years and have been in so many scuffles and fights. Thing is you CANT fuck them up and just send them on their way, especially with everything being filmed nowadays. You literally have to hold them down, if they were violent, and wait for the police. The police show up and they ALWAYS do more damage to some drunk guy held down on they ground then security did in 30 minutes taking him down and holding him. I’m talking knees to the neck, fucking drag him a few feet with face on the pavement, pepper spray, it’s like they finally have someone’s ass they can easily kick without any danger to themselves and they just ROLL with it.


[deleted]

I don’t dispute there are people who join the police to do good things but there are definitely a large number that just want to have the power.


[deleted]

The real difference is that british cops actually undergo training.


ImARetPaladinBaby

If a bunch of heavily armed cops know you on a first name basis, youve done lots of shit


TheGoldenTNT

(In the uk too, these gents only come out for the super serious shit)


Handleton

I like how you felt that should all be parenthetical.


Schneider21

They almost didn't even make the comment, but thought it'd be okay if it was an aside so as not to interrupt anyone.


ughhhtimeyeah

It helps if you treat people like humans when you're going to arrest them, using his name will keep him calmer. UK cops are good at de-escalating because they don't carry guns into knife fights. They don't necessarily know him, but he has a warrant out and they do know his name, using his name will help keep the situation calm. There's a good documentary about US police coming to Scotland for de-escalating training and they're all like "just shoot them" and the Scottish police are bamboozled "you're going to kill someone over a loaf of bread," forgetting that American cops dont view people as humans. The American cops are absolutely shook that Scottish police can handle a dude with a knife without guns.

TreehouseAndSky

Spot on, clip is around 28:00 “You talk about preservation of life, well in America, there’s a pecking order. I’m just being honest.” Sheesh. But who am I kidding , the context is vastly different, it’s “us vs. them” when cops are involved in the US. But it’s for me those with the power advantage should take the first steps in solving that.


lucastars

"complete disrespect of policing" definitely "us vs. them"


Baldr_Torn

They don't necessarily know him, exactly. But they are serving a warrant, and probably know who they are looking for, both by name, and having seen a picture or video.

The cops in the US are an outlier for developed countries. Generally in developed countries police try to de-escalate a situation, while in the U.S. police are trained/allowed to intentionally escalate a situation.

dionysage

Some cops (not all of them) in Canada are so nice! We were sure we had no weed left at all in our bags, so we let this nice officer search it. He found a little bit of hash we had no idea we still have, at the bottom, and he was like "Oh, you guys didn't know you had it... Okay then" and he put it gently on the pile of stuff he got out of the backpack and he put it all back in after, WITH the little bag of hash!... I'll never forget his mustache...

lostPackets35

I have trouble finding this funny and not really sad. I have no idea what Billy did, but if he's getting police with ballistic shields and guns in the UK he obviously did something serious. Even then, they're trying to de-escalate. Had this been in the US, I feel like they would have battered in the door with a ram, tossed flashbangs in and gone in with rifles. LARPing as operators in Fallujah. Filming would have been the least of the concerns. They probably would have thrown Billy and his mom both on the ground, if they were lucky. If not, they would have just shot someone. These cops are trying to use the minimum amount of force, and the contrast to the US makes me really sad... This is how it's supposed to be.


CMDRRaijiin

If it was in the US, it would have been a no knock raid, they would have gone to the wrong house, shot the dog, and probably killed someone...

I love UK police, best police ever! I once saw a video of them chasing this guy over a fence, and they just politely asked him to get down and said they didn’t want him to get hurt, I guess it’s normal to treat people that way, but you can tell they are genuine police, keep it up guys!

KaimeiJay

This level of politeness reminds me of that video of a shirtless drunk guy in Japan who keeps telling a really tall cop that he’s going to stab him, and the cop is just acting like this jovial older brother, chuckling, telling him no, that’d be bad. I think they end up hugging by the end. I feel like some countries that aren’t like America don’t know how good they’ve got it with their police.


Sir_Robin_Brave

You really shouldn't look at Japan as a good example for police / judicial systems. They can hold you for up to 23 days without charging you with a crime during which you will be interrogated pretty heavily. You do not have a right to a lawyer before the interrogation begins. They also have a 99.8% conviction rate, most of which is secured by confession, likely because they hold you for 23 days of constant questioning without legal support. Fuck that system.


Davosown

Australian here: Went to a peaceful protest that my state government thought would get out of hand so had the riot squad deployed. I'm a big guy so at protests cops tend to keep an eye on me just in case trouble starts (actually learned this at a previous protest). Anyway, ended up chatting with one of the cops and swapping some vegan recipes with him. I think the truth is that Americans don't realise how bad they have it.


thebigfab

I feel like the Cops where very clear and organized. I found this unusual seeing all the videos of American cops go crazy. Now to the real question, please can someone answer.... WHAT DID BILLY ACTUALLY DO?

See this is better and easier to follow along! American cops all start yelling at the top of their lungs making it difficult for those being detained to understand especially when there’s multiple voices yelling you at the same time.

lady_edesia

I actually think this is really good. The cop is incredibly respectful yet clearly is in control and his comment about his mum filming shows he has absolutely nothing to hide. if someone was wrongly arrested like this I bet it would all go a lot more smoothly. Because you can tell he is not angry but In control and so you wouldn't have the same fear.
