Xela Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 6 hours ago, PieFacE said: I was just on my lunch break and turned on Sky News and saw this and couldn't quite believe what I was seeing. Hundreds of people at his local mosque in tears and carrying the coffin etc, his parents and family stating that he was the "perfect son", and claiming it was an organised assassination from the police for seemingly... no reason. REALLY? Are you that stupid? The reaction from the local community with the protesting after is shambolic. They also reported that everyone in the area knew he was a drug dealer and involved in organised crime. As a community we shouldn't react this way to a seemingly dangerous criminal being killed. His parents being upset by it, I understand. But the rest of the community? Doesn't sit right with me. Has it been released under what circumstances the police shot him? I can't imagine they'd just shoot for no reason unless he was reaching for a weapon himself? I agree with what you say and he'll be no loss to society and I'm very much in the camp which says that if you drive around with a loaded weapon in your car, then don't complain if you are shot by the police. However, I think the fact there is no CCTV and none of the officers were wearing cameras, just makes it look a bit unprofessional, especially as it was a 'pre planned' operation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was up for firearms posession and attempted murder a couple of years ago, but got off on a technicality. My feeling is that the fuzz were furious about this, and determined to get him, one way or another. Whether or not he had a gun on this occasion, they were probably a bit too trigger happy, and it's spawned a 'black lives matter'-style backlash. The fact that the bloke was a known bad 'un is not enough to quell the inevitable angry reaction. They probably could and should have arrested him, but now we have A Situation, where the 'facts' are probably the least significant factor. Isn't that almost the same as the Mark Duggan case ?

Hopefully doesn't lead to similar riots. Although not sure what damage you could cause in Leicester, Bradford and Rotherham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm a big fan of bodycams for police, I think that officers should be wearing one most of the time (with some exceptions such as when dealing with vulnerable witnesses, that might not speak to police with cameras pointed at them), but I think it should be absolutely essential for armed officers. The words of a police officer on the stand are worth **** all, IMO, every single officer carrying a firearm should need to be wearing a functional cam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I've met some decent coppers and there are some who want to do good and help communities, but Christ I've met some right clearings in the woods.

Of course but I've met a lot of thugs that are in the police force. It really does go to their head with some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like that drug dealer in Huddersfield who the police shot dead. The locals have been out protesting that it was police brutality and that the victim was a good man. Bullshit! He deals drugs and has been linked to murders in the area. He has also held people at gunpoint in the past. Though it is **** cold, I can assure you that Huddersfield is nowhere near Poland.
