Thread: Cop beaten and side arm taken.

Yeah fair call.

From what I have seen and read it's pretty hard to tell how fast things went pear shaped though. So I think arguing either side of the fence is all heresy.

Something I think everyone in this forum can agree on is the lack of respect people in this country a beginning to show towards the uniform is unacceptable, from the amount of people who try to do runners in cars to those who just blatantly attack officers in the last few months. The speed at which the Police get lynched by the media and made guilty with 5/8ths of fuck all facts being known is astonishing.

I personally would love to see BOTH harsher penalties AND Thailand-esk prisons. Give them a reason to comply. Won't deter all but will make most common people think twice.

That's my rant over.

It was a fuck up, no doubt about it. But there are so many situations in everyday policing that can go pearshaped like this very quickly.

Bail checks, traffic stops and domestics are all situations where there is potential for big fuk ups and no doubt than when they occur then people are going to sit on their keyboards and say there is no way they should've gone in there. Confrontation is a frequent part of policing.

He had backup there, the firebrigade were in the photos, not Police but can still act under instruction. This guy was obviously a high priority target and had a history of avoiding Police. The cop went in there as prepared as he could be except for waiting for other Police, in which time his opportunity may have gone. Why didn't his backup jump in straight away? They were right there. I think there is more to this than we know.

It's very easy to slag him off on here but we don't know the full circumstances and we also have the beauty of hindsight, the Constable didn't. As a nation we seem to call a person brave if they succeed and stupid if they don't.

why didn't the cop use advanced Kung fu techniques on the 7 while shooting them all in the left knee because that's really easy and he is trained in all that stuff - he could have then used his wonder woman truth lassoo and interrogated them all at once --I cant understand why he didnt ??

I cant understand why he didnt ??

Nor can I?

Wish I had fists as big as her!

I am old enough to remember Linda Carter in her prime. Thanks for the memory El B

We'll start with

It's been pretty well publicised Dougie.

I wasn't having a go, I was just asking.

The thing here is police dont join the force because they are interested in shooting, sure some are but most are not.
Its not uncommon to be shit at something you have no interest in.

I think that's a really good point. However I could bet that most cops are interested in surviving

I really cannot understand anyone wanting to join the police force with the lack of tools they now possess to carry out their job. You would live in a world of scumbags. Give the force some force and forget the PC shit.

They have enough force now Maca, however what happens in the courtroom is pretty useless. That is what needs a real sharpen up.

Jesus 7mm, all I can do is take it at face value, don't have the time or a few spare million $$$ to get everything fact checked.

I can say from seeing cops at a local range it was not spectacular.
And why would you expect it to be they are cops not marksmen.

You want to try taking some of them out after small furry critters. A rather large eye opener. Cowboys and wild west rings true.

So how long have the police been subjected to trial by media.
Would like to see is if those media dick heads can do better.
If they think they can do the job more effectively ?
