beeetle..."British police used to be courageous facing up to villains without guns. Now they're just cowards like the yank cops."
Thats a good one.
Facing up to villians who do have guns and now terrorists who blow people to bits without guns...
Now I know that's a world that sort of appeals to you but again and again and again you show your sympathies and allegiance lies not on this side of the thin blue line
.....but on the other side.
Whether the cop was acting precipitously and in the end tragically is probably a given
But that he was placed in a situation that required that sort of action is your mate's fault.
Not ours.
I only hope that the next time they corner someone and he is a bomber and they now dont use such lethal force so quickly....
.....that the cops and nearbyers dont blown to smithereens
