   Probably because it is a homogenous society (only 14% minorities) and   
   a population of roughly 1/5th that of the US.   
   There are over 765,000 police officers (those with arrest authority)   
   in the US.  Total law enforcement personnel of around 1.1 million   
   within a population of over 320 million.   
   The UK has right at 127,000 officers total.   
   You're feebly trying to compare apples to watermelons.   
      
   And US police officers actually run toward the bad guys as opposed to   
   what those officers did.   
   An American canine officer would have let the dog loose on the guy the   
   second they saw the hammer.  What did the female Brit canine officer   
   do?  Run away screaming taking her dog with her.   
      
   Three American officers would have piled on the guy, hammer be damned.   
   And they would have subdued him.  And a female US canine officer would   
   not have been screaming like a school girl.
