I love the UK, but it seems like the UK police get these crazy ideas and end up causing more trouble than they wanted to stop.

I cannot imagine what would happen here in America is thousands of Police just started to stop and search anyone they wanted.

Im NOT saying America is better or anything, but the Police here have what seems much more limited powers than the UK. And more importantly established boundaries of what the Police can and cannot do.

from what i see in the news, police brutality in the us is just as bad as anywhere else in europe, maybe worse.

No offense, but European news agencies are very slanted towards anything political in America.
Like all countries, we too have police brutality.
BUT we also have very defined laws stating what a persons rights are regarding such police interaction.
That makes it a lot easier for a person to defend himself against corrupt police in a court of law.

From my viewpoint, it seems that in the UK, there not clear boundaries as to what an officer can do.

Maybe Im wrong, but I would welcome an answer.

You've been watching way too many movies.
Anytime a US officers fires is sidearm, he is immediately taken off duty for 2-3 weeks while an OUTSIDE investigation takes place as to why he used his sidearm.

Not to mention nearly 75% of all US police are microphones and cameras placed in the vehicles.
Of course, like all professions there are some bad apples. But the US police hardly spray bullets at people and get away with it.
Whats more problematic are the cops using the tazer far too often.
