Why do they bother taking these guys to court?


If they can get away with shooting a tourist in the head seven times, I don't there is much chance of a conviction in this instance.

An interesting one. The question is, does the risk assmt require the high speed. I think maybe not... its going to be an interesting one.

He's referring to the Brazilian Arab tourist that got wasted in the tube station by the Met Police.

To be fair if a load of people who claim to be police officers wave a gun at you, you stand still or get on the floor you dont run off like a peenarse.. Its not a game of bloody kiss chase

I think they were holding him down when they shot him.
Might be wrong.

If these "*****" lived in the real world they would be out of a job!

They seem to forget, They are there to serve the public, Policing by consent they call it.

I can't remember being asked for my consent when they< don't respond to Yobs terrorising Street Corners, Burglaries, Drug Taking/Pedalling, Assault, Not attending my Mum's Neighbours House who had the door kicked in by a Drug Gang that got the wrong house, etc etc.

Speeding Motorist (who bothers to register theirself as the registered keeper) Parking Offences, UN PC statements, etc etc. YOU'd bette watch out. Everyone else from Tim Bucktoo do what you want, we are not intersted in you.

WHY DO WE PUT UP WITH THIS????

Cos if it was FRANCE THEY WOULDN'T DARE, THEY'D STORM THE BASTELEEL..

Not heard of that one. Have heard of the Brazilian Arab illegal immigrant that got wasted in the tube station by the Met Police though.
