Armed police blackstock road


Recommended Posts

Hope he is and yes it was. A bit overkill for the ARV though. Well OTT

 

Why is it overkill?

 

If theres a report of a someone stabbing others in the street then I'd want the ARV's to be straight there. Would you expect just unarmed cops to deal with it?

 

Anyway, at the time the ARV's were sent there, it wouldn't exactly be clear what was happening. Knowledge of exactly what happened wouldn't be clear until after the event. Better safe than sorry.

Must be very difficult for armed police , if they turn up they are accused of being over the top if they don't turn up where are they. If the have to shoot someone there is an enquiry and the person they shoot is the best guy ever and done nothing wrong. If someone is armed , then police armed response should be there.

True. I think some people assume that the police know absolutely everything that has happened prior to even arriving on the scene. Better for them to send too many cops initially, then if they aren't all needed some can leave.
