M62 Police Shooting

I think the guy was obviously a drug dealer and violent. The question for me is, does this justify just shooting the guy?

Where do we end up with that policy?

I'm amazed that all this stuff if him being such a **** that he wasn't arrested for that with little fuss.

A gun in the car is not the same as pointing it and shooting at them.

We have to look at the bigger picture and resist the American cop policy of shooting first, then shooting again without sufficient cause.

All the family man shite is typical response and who knows he might have been good to his family as many criminals are.

It's the just cause to shoot somebody I want to see, as I think we have to be better than the hit squad mentality of some of the US cops.

If we don't follow legal processes then we are just as bad as all the regimes we continually criticise.

Unless the have oil obviously. Nearly a schoolboy error there.
 
For those interested, it will soon be compulsory for Firearms officers to wear bodycams. They are redesigning the headwear which will have the bodycam fitted.
 
From what I've read the deceased's family were regarded as important members at the head of their community with the father owning over 100 properties locally + buying and selling drugs being an important factor. It has all the hallmarks of an Hawala Banking set up .....google it if your not familiar.....
Hopefully the police and hmrc will pursue recovery of the proceeds of criminal activity.
 
Knew the guy personally live just round the corner from him could tell you plenty more about him than you've already read been involved with drugs and shooters for a long time . His dad doesn't want to be kicking up too much of a stink either because the police might start looking into his line of work which isn't too dissimilar than his boys.
 
Gun shot holes in his walls and the amount is cctv cameras, says it all really.

I don't like saying this but it's blessing that this happened to him, rather than some innocent bystander getting caught in the middle of a feuding drug/gang related crossfire.

Sometimes you have to act on instinct, and in this case the police seem to have got it right.
 
Personally whilst I believe in legalising the likes of cannabis I would quite happily shoot all dealers of heroin, coke etc.
 
The usual "He was a lovely lad" etc being spouted by people who knew him, what a load of shite. They are all whinging that no warning shots were fired too... Idiots.
 
You're saying this is a racial issue and islamophobia?

This **** wasn't a Muslim.
No I was going to make comment about him having thousands of people at the funeral - at the mosque and how that says a bit about who he was (the thousands of people). Unless that is usual for muslim funerals.

Then my brain linked muslim - gun - muslamic ray gun. That was my thought process behind that post :)
