barnie41 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The reports so far indicate that a non police firearm has been recovered at the scene. There is speculation about the recovered bullet, and we should wait for the full IPCC report before commenting further I think. But - remember, if a weapon has even been pointed at the officers, they have a right in law to act to protect their own lives or others. Maybe a case of 'live by the sword.........'

Snook Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Incredible how many mugs on here were prepared to swallow the initial lies bandied around by the right wing press. But how do we know that the story now isn't lies? It was all in the 'right wing press', so how do you tell when it is a lie or the truth? What if the first story was the truth but it is in the right wing press' interest to now make the police the scapegoat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make a choice in life to be a bad 'un, then don't be suprised if you get shot. Hazzards of the job when you're a criminal i'm afraid. No sympathy.

Bassman62 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The main thing that some seem to miss is that one report said that the police were acting on previous information, so it if this is correct then they would have a good reason to be doing the same as criminals and carrying guns and using them.

WeX Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 the police officer shot in tottenham was hit by a bullet coming from the police http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2023543/Tottenham-riot-Bullet-fired-officer-belonged-police-fuelling-fury-shooting-Mark-Duggan.html supposedly but the pcc has not published anything yet, so before saddling up that tall horse of yours, its probably best to wait until the situation has calmed down and the professionals have had a chance to investigate the causes and complaints.

Like the kid in sheffield who was killed, "He was going to be a pastor said his parents". The week before he'd been using a knife in Dronfield (what was he doing in Dronfield?) over a drug dealing incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
