How is another way?

Maybe not so negligent after all?

he could probably see the driver slump and the car probably stalled if it was manual

i get that it would have been safer for the cop to turn him into swiss cheese, just incase he had a gun and was able to return fire.

The cops didn't doo bad this time, I just wish ours would dress a bit better - like in Miami Vice

Met Police marksman cleared of murdering Chris Kaba forced into hiding after gangsters put £10k bounty on his head

A Met Police marksman who was cleared of the murder of Chris Kaba has gone into hiding after a £10,000 bounty was put on...

They shouldn't have released his personal information, let's hope the Met force will start hunting down Kabas gang members first.

Who is going to assassinate a copper for 10k?

 

 

Tightarses, that’s chump change.

That model doesn’t come in manual.

I think the copper should get a marksmanship medal to go with his taking out another shitbag one.

 

The victims are always promising lawyers/doctors/rappers at first, then the truth comes out.

For me it really doesn't matter if you're a low level gangsta or a budding lawyer, when you start trying to batter your way with a car past armed police you've made their decision for them, whatever skin you wear.

I've said it before on here and Dave said it earlier, when they point the gun it's time to be a very polite, compliant little lamb and keep the arguing for later.

 

Think I heard earlier on the news parliament announced that in future cases, no officer will be publicly identified unless actually convicted of a crime.

No idea why that isn't the case already, innocent until proven guilty...

[Mark Bolam]

Spot on Doug.

[AHPP]

Because non-coppers don't get anonymity as a matter of course.

Agreed but I think it should extend to everyone. In the olden days it was a 30 second news bite on the news at 10 that was soon forgotten about.
