Everyone complains about police brutality and corruption, but no one recognizes their abilities or the sacrifices they made to save our lives. Being a policeman is one of the most dangerous job in the world. Which police force is better in the world right now? We conducted extensive research in this area. Let’s check out some of the best police forces in the world.

A police force can be evaluated using certain criteria. There could be some statistics to speak for some of the more efficient police forces in the world. Some of the parameters used to measure the progress of a police force are its ability to tackle crime, resources and efficiency, public protection, protecting vulnerable people, implementation of neighborhood policing, lowest expenditure on them, fewest cops per 100,000 population, fewest shots fired by them in a year, and fewest people beaten, shot, and killed, satisfaction and fairness; and local priorities.

Here we have enlisted some of the best police departments in the world to monitor their progress.

A policy known as “grid management” is one of the most important factors in maintaining public order. An area would be divided into many blocks, with regular patrol police, surveillance cameras, and employees from local committees stationed in each.

Rape and robbery would be severely punished, with the death penalty being the most likely outcome. Most shockingly, acts of hooliganism were considered “serious” crimes, such as causing unnecessary trouble, mass fighting, humiliating women, and other acts that endanger public order.

Well, many of you may already know a depiction of what a warrior is: A brave person who fights for a nation or group.

But what is deadliest warrior?

A deadliest warrior is someone who will give up his life to train in the best possible way and become such a vigorous fighter that the name of his warrior group will be remembered for their bravery and strength. The list of such amazing and deadliest warriors in history has been prepared. Hope you enjoy it:

10-FRENCH MUSKETEER

Starting in 1622, the French Musketeers was a large group of daring warriors for two purposes: firstly to protect the King of France and secondly to fight in battles for France. The Musketeers were amongst the most well-known and prestigious warrior force in ancient times.

They were trained hard especially in the art of attacking at close ranges with spears. They continued to serve on the behalf of the King of France until 1776 when they were dissolved by the ruler due to financial issues. They were reformed during the French revolution but then dissolved permanently in 1816.

9-APACHE

Commonly known as “The Fiercest Warriors in the Southwest”, the Apache was a collection of tribes that belonged to the South-West American region. They basically originated from western Canada but due to disputes with Athapascans, they left Canada and established themselves in South-western America.

The name Apache is believed to be derived from the name given to them of “Apachu” by their enemy tribe “The Zuni”. This name meant “enemy”. A group of nomadic people, the Apache went as far as Mexico and were mainly involved in hunting and farming practices. The main reason for Apache tribe becoming one of the fiercest warriors was after New Mexico became a Spanish colony in 1598. The rivalry between Spaniards and Apache suddenly took a rise. They raided Spaniards successfully numerous times to have horses, cattle, arms and captives.

A small tribe at first, Apache greatly increased their numbers by adding the captives to their army. After proving their ferocity, Apache didn’t surrender until 1886 when they were left with a mere 50 people in their army.

8-GLADIATOR

The name of these warriors is derived from a sword’s name i.e. “Gladius” which was a renowned weapon in the Roman army. For a bloodthirsty Roman culture at that time, Gladiator warriors provided ultimate “entertainment”. Gladiator means swordsman in Latin and these group of ferocious warriors included captive slaves, soldiers, criminals who were brave and some people who voluntarily opted to fight.

These warriors were famous to fight in bloodthirsty battles to fight against other gladiators or even animals. They used lethal and dangerous weapons. They were told not to give up ever and die without pleading anyone.

It might amaze you:

It is claimed that on average a gladiator survived no more than 10 fights. It is also believed that the average age at which a gladiator died was 30 years only.

The gladiators who survived the fights were granted freedom and gifted heavily while the ones killed were brutally treated. Their blood was gathered and the upper class Romans are believed to drink it.

These warriors became outlawed in 438 AD.

7-AZTEC

As a ferocious warriors group, the Aztec warriors belonged to Central Mexico. Due to these deadliest warriors, the Aztec Empire grew rapidly as they were a ruthless and ferocious group who fought for land and captives. They were so ferocious that even their own leader’s appointment was ensured by war. The present leader would be attacked with knives, axes, spears and all sort of sharp and dangerous weapons and if he survived the attack, he would be allowed to remain the leader of the war group.

There were three ranks in Aztec warriors. First was the servant rank who just shifted and transferred supplies and arms. Second were the young recruits who were yet to make their first capture. Last but not the least were real Aztec Warriors who were given this status after having a first successful capture.

Trained to fight hard, they marched up 32 kilometres a day to have inexplicable stamina. The approximate life expectancy amongst Aztec warriors was just 37. This proves that the Aztecs believed in a do or die warfare.

6-MAORI

The Maori warriors, quoted as “Unforgiving slayers of the South Seas”, were actually Polynesian people originating from New Zealand. This warrior group started in 1280 AD. Their rise was subsequent to the rise of another warrior tribe in that region known as Tui Tonga. Ferocious wars between the tribes was common and these wars occurred on disputes over land and resources.

It might be mind-boggling for you:

These tribes believed in something known as “Mana” which was known as spiritual power. It was believed amongst them that by fighting and being brave and deadly warriors, they will gain their mana.

It is even believed that Maori warriors would at times eat up their victims to gain mana. It is what is seen in warfare games as fictional power given many different names but Maori the greatest warrior groups in history followed this in real battles. A very amazing fact is that Maori warriors were not ever defeated in any battle. Their dynasty still exists in small number but now they are not ferocious warriors and are turning more towards norms of the world’s culture.

5-SPARTAN

The Spartan warriors were one of the deadliest and the most feared in Greek region.

You will be astonished to know:

Following the Peloponnesian War from 431 BC to 404 BC, the Spartans gained their might as one of the deadliest warriors of all times by defeating Athens. The males were trained under strict rules that ensured responsibility, education and endurance amongst all warriors. On the other hand, Spartan women were given education and kept away from warfare. They enjoyed a free status in Spartan community.

After a long period of warrior might, they were finally defeated in 371 BC by the Thebes in the renowned Battle of Leuctra. This led to the downfall of this ferocious group of warriors who had a stronghold for many decades.

They had their own workshops and supply of steel to cater for their arms and supplies. Their tactical skills were so ingeniously crafted that opponents with stronger armours and supplies got defeated. Division of army into groups each one of them having its own role made the Mongol warriors really feared amongst their opponents.

Their variety of arrows and bows production each having its own purpose made them a really strong side. Moreover, their training allowed them to fight ferociously even without a bow and an arrow. They were so tough that they would go on for days in battles with no food or water and sacrifice themselves in war whenever needed. Indeed, one of the most resilient and deadliest group of warriors in the list of deadliest warriors legends.

3-NINJA

Of the Japanese origin, the Ninja warriors established their deadly might in the 15th century. In Japanese language, Ninja warriors are known as Shinobi warriors which means “to steal away”.

Wearing dark coloured, they blended themselves in the dark and attacked silently. They ingeniously used normal farmer equipment as deadly weapons by their techniques. Some weapons were named after the Ninjas such as the Ninja To, the Wakizashi and the Tanto.

2-KNIGHTS

Wielding heavy armour suits, knights were appointed by the head of states or monarchs as a reward for their bravery in wars. In heavy suits in which many of us would find extremely hard to even move few steps, knights fought bravely under extreme conditions and hot environment.

The knights were trained to use heavy weapons and their ability to attack with fast reflexes while mounted on a horse made them very deadly. Ranking 2nd among the list of ancient warriors in history, many knights were renowned especially during the Hundred Years of War between England and France. Knights like William Wallace who fought for their country’s independence are remembered as heroes who fought ruthlessly. Some knights are known to have killed hundreds of people by their swords.

Similarly, Sir William Marshal was a famous knight famous for being loyal and brave. Among the weapons used by knights were axes, swords, maces, knives, daggers and crossbows.

1-SAMURAI

Known as the deadliest warriors of all times, Samurai was a warrior group in medieval and early years of Japan. The swordsmanship of Samurai fighters was widely known and accompanies with brave hearts and vigorous training, Samurai warriors made the opponents pay the price.

As soon as a person wanted to become a Samurai warrior, he was told to live by the code of bushido i.e. way of the warrior. They were so sensitive about their courageousness that many Samurai fighters who fell of their horses or being close to being killed disembowelled themselves to retain their prestige and save the Samurai might. Samurai warriors served as the primary armed forces until 1873 when a modern army was ordered to be established by Emperor Meiji. There is no doubt that deadliest warriors are the Samurai warriors.

10-Islamic Jihadist Immigrants Killed 3 People

Since Sep, 2001 the U.S. has permitted 784,000 refugees into the country. It is surprising that since 9/11 only 3 refugees were found in link with terrorism. While two of them were trying to leave the country to join terrorist groups abroad. The ratio is 0.00038% of the refuges in the United States.

Since 9/11 approximately twice people have been executed by non-Muslim extremists and white supremacists. The US records shows that these refugees are not a threat to the country. Instead of following what Donald Trumph has said, it is time to restore our trust among the people who will live with us.

9-Armed Toddlers Killed 23 People Annually

It is surprising to know that in U.S. children have shot more people than Muslim terrorists have. Despite Muslim terrorists executed nobody in the U.S. in 2016, Toddlers have a score of 23 causalities.

Every town for Gun Safety, the pro-gun-control group has reported at least 77 incidents in just 2016 in which a child younger than 18 has unintentionally shot someone. This mostly happens because toddlers have easy accessibility of guns. Incidents involving toddlers and guns often don’t get reported so these stats could very well be incorrect and death count can be increases.

8-Lightning Kills 33 People Per Year in US

Do you know that the average lightning strike can light a 100 watt bulb for more than 3 months. Lightning can reach up to a temperature of 50,000 degrees (F).

Lightning strikes are considered 10 percent deadly on average. Means every 10 people out of 100 get killed due to lightning. During thunderstorm no outside place is safe. If you hear the thunder it means lightning is very close to you. You should immediately move to safer place (shelter, building or any vehicle). According to NOAA during 2003-2014, on average 33 people get killed annually due to lightning. While alone 36 people get killed in 2016 so far because of lightning strikes.

7-Far Right Wing Terrorist Murdered 48 People in US Since 9/11

According to Arie Perliger, director of terrorism studies at the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, There are three ideologies in the violent Americans: fundamentalist, anti federalist and far right racist.

A report by New America shows that since Sep, 2001 Islamic jihadist struck 10 times leaving dead 94 while far right wing terrorists launched 18 attacks that murdered 48 people.

These are not the typical “Islamic Jihadist” as described by the American politicians in the boogeyman stories who exploit fear for votes. These and other untold thousands like them is the US citizen non- Muslim terrorist who hides among us and have killed more Americans in the united states than Islamic- terrorists have. These homegrown terrorists are more deadly than jihadist.

While complaining about the biased role of media Abdul Cader Asmal, a retired physician and spokesman for Muslims in Boston said

“With non-Muslims, the media bends over backward to identify some psychological traits that may have pushed them over the edge, whereas if it’s a Muslim, the assumption is that they must have done it because of their religion.”

The absolute minuteness of some specific organism or object may never be determined fully because humans find themselves researching for more and more and this thirst for research finds its way into a world of endless possibilities. If we truly try to determine the smallest thing in the world then we might end up with no final answer.

Considering particles, atom was considered to be the tiniest particle but then it was discovered that is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Very soon this ideology was also further established as protons and neutrons themselves being made up of particles called quarks. However, with the latest known facts and figures, the minuteness of anything on this planet is determined by its length or if circular in nature so diameter in this case. While cataloging from known facts, the top 10 smallest things in the world have been classified in the following rundown:

Many evil minds persist in our community. Most of them are pushed towards negativity due to psychological factors. However, it is quite puzzling to know that in history, some of these evil geniuses had the inexplicable intelligence to carry out their sinister activities.

These highly intelligent but wicked geniuses involved themselves in bad activities, and history remembered them as “evil geniuses.”

In the following rundown, we have listed the top 10 most evil geniuses of all time:

10-Charles Manson

Charles began his life in misery due to his ascetic profession. Unfortunately, he never got to experience the extraordinary life he could have had with his parents. His mother was his only relative within the family. Additionally, his mother wasn’t even close to what a real mother should be. She abandoned him badly in the boarding school system. As a result, Charles was negligent throughout his adolescence and teenage years. Despite these circumstances, he steadily rose to become one of the most notorious criminals in the United States. His offenses started off as small burglaries in grocery stores and went on to armed robberies and even murder! His evil ingenuity led him to devise inexplicable ways to form a gang that committed a series of nine murders in 1969. Charles was a singer and songwriter by profession, but a life filled with offenses led him to a life sentence behind bars.

9-Kim Philby

Kim Philby was born in British India in 1912. Though Kim was a British intelligence officer of the famous MI6 agency, he, in fact, worked secretly for the Soviet Union. Through his evil ingenuity, he was able to provide highly classified information to the Soviet Union. He was hired as a Soviet Union spy before the Second World War. Kim, ‘A genius for deception,” kept on acting as a double agent for both the British and the Soviets, keeping the trust alive on both sides.

He is known to have provided secret information to the Soviets about a defecting Soviet agent that ultimately led to the officer’s death and a delay in British operations. He was indeed a remarkable evil genius who defied two nations at a time on multiple occasions but still didn’t get anything proven against himself.

8-Adam Worth

Adam Worth was born in 1844 in Germany. He is often referred to as “The Napoleon of Crime” due to his intelligence in committing crimes. Bank robberies, store robberies, pickpocketing, bounty jumping, and jail breaking—he was an evil genius in all of these fields. He started off by bounty-jumping, using false names to join different squadrons to gain the bounty, and then fleeing. By using his diligence, he formed a gang of pickpockets. Even a prison sentence of 3 years, when he was caught red-handed during a robbery, couldn’t stop his negative activities. He used inexplicable ways to defy all the security measures at the prison and escape.

He continued to commit bank robberies very diligently without being caught quickly. Last but not least, he even helped other fellow inmates break free of prison walls through diligent strategic planning. He was finally caught amidst an armed robbery and sentenced to 7 years behind bars.

7-Niccolò Machiavelli

Niccol Machiavelli was born in 1469 in Italy. Even though he faced incarceration in his early life due to political reasons, Niccolo managed to make his ideas count in the modern world. Niccol Machiavelli’s inclusion in the list of “top evil geniuses” has been a point of debate for a long time. His inclusion in the list is due to a book he published, “The Prince,” on political science. He wrote this book after thorough research on Roman history. In this book, he discussed methods that he had researched to have complete control over the public, even if extreme measures are used by the authorities. Some people regard him as the father of political theory, whereas others regard his ideas as cruel, ruthless, and not appropriate.

He continued to excel in his studies until he received his Ph.D. After joining the Nazi party in 1924, he showed excellent skills in propaganda making. Since the basic idea of running the Nazi Party was propaganda, Hitler found a great evil genius in Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels was capable of supporting Hitler’s cause through his well-crafted ideas and careful planning. Moreover, his common cause with Hitler—the annihilation of Jews—made him a perfect match. This led him to various important posts in the history of Germany. His evil genius was also evident in his extraordinary ability to speak confidently in public. He made his points widely understood by using sarcastic humor as well. He died in 1945, after the death of Hitler.

5-Dr. Henry Howard Holmes

Inside the hotel were windowless rooms, gas-inducing systems, and much more designed to murder people. The bodies were then pulled down into the basement by an air-vacuum system. Holmes then sold the human body parts. Due to his ruthless and bloodthirsty behavior, after being caught during a theft, he was hanged in 1896 for committing mass murders.

However, his confession is of 37 killings. He ravaged California with his evil genius plans and strategies. Using the letters he wrote to newspapers, he can be judged as a person with deep psychological issues. Despite his mental issues, his intelligence to code all the facts is a mystery.

3-Joseph Stalin

Joseph Stalin came into this world on the 18th of December, 1878. He was a Soviet dictator. Stalin was a master at negative political planning, diplomacy, and power. He proved the evil genius within him by acting double-faced without being noticed. On one side, he cleverly depicted himself as Lenin, being part of Soviet communism, whereas, on the other hand, he secretly got his men appointed to crucial positions in the government to get an indirect hold of the large state. More examples of his intelligence include his debating power at the conferences after World War II.

He tricked the American and British delegations into confusion and, meanwhile, twisted the decisions in his favor. This ruthless dictator became the source of mass murders as well.

After resigning from teaching, he went into solitary confinement, where he planted his plans for mass murders.

and Ted used primary materials such as dry cell batteries to make the most lethal homemade bombs. Ted ravaged the streets with his sinister yet genius plans. He targeted university professors, airlines, and the industrial sector’s leaders to destroy modern technological advancement to counter its effects on the environment. To this day, the sophistication of his bomb devices serves as an example. Many of his bomb device models are on display in museums.

1-Adolf Hitler
