Regardless, as I said previously, even if the police didn't get trained for something and caught a criminal, I literally could not care LESS. All the guys who stroll around London, or the UK in general with knives should absolutely be arrested and again... I don't care if "inappropriate" actions are put down on them because they are doing wrong to begin with. Stop trying to defend people who carry weapons.

Right, YOU couldn't care less. That's fine.
Whether you think it's right or wrong isn't the issue though is it?

It's whether officers are breaking the laws themselves. You don't care about it, that's fine, doesn't actually mean it doesn't matter or that it's ok though, does it? Because it's a slippery slope from scrapping with the people they're arresting (and usually at the point of arrest it doesn't always mean any charges will be brought yet, so judging that it doesn't matter what happens to criminals at the point of arrest is really just... dumb) and completely disregarding any and all protocols and rules.

So, responding with "But the criminal is naughty" is utterly pointless and distracting from what actually is being said.
