I remember they shut Mark Duggan for reaching for his mobile...
Seem to have lost their edge They should have shouted to him to drop his weapon...If he did not they should have shot him Perhaps they were afraid of hitting his baby daughter...I don't know? I hope his baby daughter recovered from the stab wound |

Perhaps we should get some US Police Officers over
People only have to be black for the police to shoot them over there. |

Probably worried they might end up losing their job for doing their job.

I would hope not, there are clear guidelines
When weapons are used by criminals, the whole situation is somewhat fraught, the best decisions are not always made |

If our police shoot someone, isn't the officer suspended while an inquiry is held into the shooting?
If that is correct it's easy to see why many are reluctant to shoot, they could end up in the dock. So if you're a copper and you shoot someone, you'd better have a watertight case for doing it. Which means in some cases, an officer might let someone escape or carry on doing what they are doing in the hope that another copper puts themselves on the spot rather than them. Many officers won't carry guns because if they use it they're in trouble, and if they don't use it they're in trouble as well. |
