Hate to say it, but ....... it makes no difference. Man goes about with loaded gun and intimating he will use it: man should expect to be shot at. The bullet is still undergoing forensic testing. Suggestion is not yet fact. |

It makes all the difference in the world, it's the difference between self-defence by the police and murder by the police, and it also shows why you shouldn't leap to conclusions in cases like these |

Isn't it about time that the police used water canon against petrol bombs etc. Surely this would cool someones ardour! Maybe there would be less damage and injuries caused to the police and property. Perhaps paint guns with an indelible dye? Or perhaps the home secretary ought to be there to wave a white flag?? Get real and get the job done!!

The guy was a criminal. the guy resisted arrest. The guy was carrying a loaded gun. Why should the police bow down? The are not above the law - they ARE THE LAW and are there to enforce the laws of this land. If some useless good for nothing criminal wants to think he's some tough nut running around with a loaded gun, he gets what's coming to him. End of. In every sense of the word.

I love the way you portray it as 'the police killing a local guy' - like he was some kindly gent, a pillar of the community, with nothing but good and kindness to offer the world. |

I think my statement was pretty neutral actually, just giving the facts; he was killed and he was a local guy, I said no more than that

Personally, I back the police in dealing with gun totting criminals. Call me old fashioned, but there it is. Nothing you say will persuade me to consider anything else. |

No, it was selective. You missed out some pretty salient facts, the police didn't simply look at some poor local chap and decide to take him out.

You're being a bit disengenuous MTVN.
He wasnt shot for possession he was shot in the act of fleeing arrest. A very pent up scenario no doubt. Regardless of the man firing a shot if they saw him holding it in his hand ready to use that could be enough reason to open fire. Or do you think they have to wait for him to shoot one of them first? |

So now it turns out that there was no firefight and the gun looks like it wasn't even ready for use? It's getting harder and harder to see how this ended up with a guy dead shot twice in the head |

It was awful yesterday about the riots, the thing that really stuck in mind is the youngests in the background trying to get their mugs shots on tv and shouting abusives. People where struggling to comprehend what happened and to these youngest it seemed yet another day. The bbc coverage was rubbish, leading the
people in their questions rather than asking just to get the answers they wanted, I think the public have a right to know why he was shot. There is a way of doing, police must have had a reason to open fire, the reason yet unknown, you have to toss the coin on this discussion and think of the police's family they wave they partners etc off to work everyday and dont know if they will come back alive. If the police wasnt there to enforce the law what would this country be like. |

I don't believe any police officer would shoot somebody in the head without good reason at the time. They may misread signals or mistake what they see but I think they shoot for a reason.
These are professionals with a career to think of. Even for an officer shooting somebody is a big deal that they will be held accountable for. Plus they have to live with that death. And its not like we hear about this all the time. They are relatively rare. I agree we dont know enough about the exact situation here but that doesnt give either sides a right to jump to assumptions. If those officers felt any imminent danger then they had a right to shoot. Thats what theyre trained to do. Last edited by Zippy; 07-08-2011 at 09:10 PM. |
