A brave young police officer was killed “in the line of duty” in “truly shocking circumstances” as he attempted to stop three teenagers from stealing a quad bike, a trial has heard.
Pc Andrew Harper was dragged for more than a mile of winding country road, his uniform gradually stripped from his body, after his ankles got caught in a tow rope attached to the thieves’ car. Henry Long, 19, drove at speed along the lane in Berkshire on the evening of August 15 last year, in such a fashion that the stricken officer was “swung side to side like a pendulum in an effort to dislodge him”, the Old Bailey heard. Pc Harper eventually became disentangled but died from his injuries in the road. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...rtan-ntp-feeds so distressing, his poor wife |

We have armed police. Do we really want to live in a country where the local Bobby is armed?...I dont.
I want to see a return to community policing. It works. All these heavy handed tactics, cuts to community services and reduced neighbourhood policing has massively backfired. It was the wrong call. |
Tragic. Sooo young... him with his newly-wed wife, they looked beautiful together </3
|
Gosh this is awful. So so so sad for his wife. If only he didn't take the call...
