Shocking....
My thoughts are with the families and friends of the Officers.
Lets hope these evil B****ds are given up by the "Old School Villains" as soon as possible.

It's crazy how our police officers have to attend incidents with only a battern and cs spray when they can and are often confronted by criminals with knives, guns and the like!!!

There are alot of armed Officers around but you hardly see them, thats the way I think most Officers want it.
I will be happy to finish my 30 years soon without having to carry firearms in my everyday duties.

Only just heard this news myself, absolutely gutted. I can only imagine there was no mention of firearms in the initial report and that is why unarmed officers were sent to deal.
I do feel we need to wake up and smell the coffee in this country, our police are getting younger, (18 years acceptable now) and their fitness and defence levels are nearly non existant when they are thrown out on the streets to deal with these animals. It's all very well to go on about keeping the force unarmed to keep the community happy but for gods sake get more armed officers out and about on the streets and maybe this scum will think twce about their actions. Just hope they flee west and end up in my neck of the woods, we'll see then.
My sympathy goes to the family of the fallen officer and best wishes to the injured bobby.

Unreal.
I was in a lovely canteen today having a cp of coffee wondering how much it had cost my force, now i wish it had all gone on self defence and extra armed response vehicles for us to use! Kinda puts any troubles i have firmly in the shade.

This is very, very tragic, and the families of the Police women involved will probably never get over it.
Unfortunately, it`s also true to say that the scum no longer fear shooting/killing even the Police, and that`s because there is no longer any deterrent.
Just another horrendous case of people doing what they want, just because they can. It`s an absolute bloody disgrace !

Absoloutely tragic
Made me realise how blasé I have become to this very sort of incident. I work in a city centre where we have accidental activations of raid/panic alarm buttons literally every day of the week. Even today we raced to an Opticians where the raid alarm had been hit, jumping in head first without assessing the situation fully/properly. Luckily it was an accidental activation, as expected.... What about next time?
Poor buggers obviously never knew the extent of the situation (I assume) and my heart goes out to their close ones

Burr,
So sorry mate, hope the scum is caught and the punishment fits the crime(this is where I beleive hanging should be bought back) shooting an unarmed officer, just doing her job, plesae pass on my repects.
Cheers
