A man believed to be in his 40s has been shot dead by police in Romford, east London, Metropolitan Police say.
The victim was said to be making threats in the Collier Row area, claiming he had a gun.

surely the cops could have used a taser on him

How do you get close enough to a man with a gun to use a taser?

By:
Pretend to be bringing him a pizza and then flip open the lid and Taser him.

Why shoot a dead man?

Collier Row us a fair way from most of east London and would be regarded as Essex by many.
It certainly isn't an area of racial tension and gang culture. This sort of thing happens all the time, unfortunately. |

If he's armed and you aim to wing him or bring him down with a limb shot, you could miss or still not prevent him from shooting back.

If a armed policeman enters a building to arrest someone who has a gun, then unless they've got their hands in the air they're in mortal danger.

A man who was shot by police while carrying a table leg which was mistaken for a gun, was unlawfully killed, an inquest jury ruled today.
Harry Stanley, 46, a painter and decorator of Hackney, east London, was shot in the head and hand by police marksmen on September 22 1999. Two Metropolitan police officers fired the shots after mistakenly being informed that Mr Stanley had a sawn-off shotgun. The father-of-three, who was originally from Lanarkshire, Scotland, was carrying a blue plastic bag with a coffee table leg inside, which had just been repaired by his brother Peter. He was shot as he walked home from the Alexandra Pub in Hackney. |

Given that Cressida Dick personally oversaw an incident in which a Brazilian was mistaken for an Arab and shot several times from point blank range, it wouldn't be that surprising if incidents like these became more common now she is in charge of the entire Met.

I don't envy the Police trying to defend us against insurgents.

I can well understand the police backing off unless society is fully behind them instead of hovering ready to condemn or prosecute for any misdemeanour under severe pressure. When I look at our media,judiciary and lawyers I would be loathe to intervene nowadays.

By:
Why would society be fully behind the Police? They are clearly the enemy of the People, not its servants. Very soon, the contract between Police and public will break down, in fact there are several parts of the country where this has already happened.

Successive governments, who ruined this land by flooding it with wrong uns, are the enemy of the people. The Police are caught in the middle trying to clear up the damage.
|
|
By:
That is utter rubbish.
|
|
By:
In your opinion. My guess is that you are in a minority on this matter.
|
|
By:
Your first sentence is quite valid saddo, but your point that the police are in any way keen to clear up the damage is risible.

Got a nephew in the police and I would lay 1.01 that any on here are fit to tie his shoelaces jed, the fault lies up above where the commanders are all out for their own career programmes and the politicians have that power to control them.

invariably they are more of a nuisance to the average everyday person than anything else

many years ago I was walking in town and was approached by the police and asked would I stand in a police line up at the local station,
Told them no |
