I'm sure that nobody here knowingly breaks any laws in real life!

Not sure how it works in the UK mate, but here as a teen it is legal to drink.
It is illegal to sell alcohol for teens.

BBC News says:

UNDER FIVES
It is illegal to give an alcoholic drink to a child under five except under medical supervision in an emergency.

It is thought the Children Act 1908 made provision for parents to give alcohol to a very young child, where it could be considered an anaesthetic in cases of acute injury.

UNDER 16s
Children under 16 can go anywhere in a pub as long as they are supervised by an adult, but cannot have any alcoholic drinks.

However some premises may be subject to licensing conditions preventing them from entering, for example pubs which have experienced problems with underage drinking.

16 TO 17-YEAR-OLDS
Young people aged 16 or 17 can drink beer, wine or cider with a meal if it is bought by an adult and they are accompanied by an adult.

It is illegal for this age group to drink spirits in pubs even with a meal.

UNDER 18s
It is illegal for people under 18 to buy alcohol in a pub, off-licence, shop or elsewhere.

And in most cases, it is against the law for anyone to buy alcohol for someone under 18 to drink in a pub or a public place.

It is legal for adults to buy alcohol for children over four to drink in the home.

Under the Confiscation of Alcohol (Young Persons) Act 1997, police have powers to confiscate alcohol from under 18s drinking in public places including streets and parks.

Our cops don't carry any firearms or a tazer, I believe they only use a baton and riot shield in cases where there are large groups with potential danger.

That's a sweeping statement . Plenty of police officers within the UK carry firearms . Mark Dugan wasn't killed from the force of a baton or a riot shield.

Where do you live? I've never seen a patrolling officer with any sort of firearm.

Reading into more information about the Mark Duggan case I found this:

The police who shot Duggan were part of the Specialist Firearms Command (CO19), accompanying officers from Operation Trident, a London Metropolitan police unit responsible for gun crime within the black community.
Meaning that these aren't regular police officers.

Sounds like the only officers known to use firearms are specially trained forces guarding main government buildings, airports or response to serious threats.
Metropolitan Police Federation Peter Smyth said, "A lot of police officers don't want to be armed. We don't want a call to arms, I don't think that's necessary."

Hell, armed officers weren't even called out when this guy tried to attack officers with a machete.

That isnt police brutality, It is bobbys here who have their head on straight, Most of them are the "victim's" fault, But the yank one is pretty damn brutal.

bahaha

implying every single cop is like this

Some of the people who commented on that video saying DOWN WITH THE COPS are just pathetic. It makes me laugh, how is the first one police brutality? He was about to swing at the cop with AN AXE, that guy deserved to get shot.
#19
That guy at the start had an axe and turned to use it on an officer, he was prepared to attack him with a deadly weapon with a high likelyhood of killing him. The officer who shot him was doing so in self defense. I'd have done the same in that situation.
