Class One Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well IHTF that it is either: A suspected terrorist or Am armed suspect because The Officer who shot him is in for a whole world of hurt. See the problem is that once you've been trained and issued with your firearm, you are on your own if you pull the trigger. And because of this the job is finding it increasing difficult to get officers to undertake firearms training. If it is a terrorist, we;'ve still got a long way to go before the scores are evened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Agreed. The guys I shot with at Beds Police were nice chaps, very proffessional - but now even like the Army, it seems like EVERYTHING is scrutinised for political correctness... but on the other hand if it was you that was shot and you were innocent.. gah its a tough call isnt it.

Class One Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 That maybe so, and I won't go into details, but if the guy is a potential suicide bomber there is only ONE way to stop them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 At the end of the day if this nugget had a chance of letting a bomb off, I'd make sure he was well and truely dead as well!

Nick Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 "One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him." Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
