British police routinely disarm knife wielding assailants without guns and are rarely killed

That's untrue. However, you do realize UK police aren't armed don't you. I would suggest that may have something to do with a lack of shootings of armed assailants and the fact they are put in situations where they may have to disarm someone.
And at least they are "rarely" killed. Thank god. I guess they are doing it right.
You do know who gets called in the UK when there's a guy with a knife don't you? Armed response units.
