@owenjonesjourno He never once said it’s protocol, he said the force was reasonable in the circumstances. Protocol is to shoot for the head for immediate incapacitation. These officers however aren’t armed. They had a split second and did what they could do to incapacitate. Well done officers.
@_callumstone It’s very easy to see his point here. For example, should the women’s team go on to win 10 titles in a row and all cup competitions while the men’s team continue their current form, no one would say Manchester United is now a success. The other way round however would be.
@Petersbrooking You’re very defensive Paul. I’d be right leaning, doesn’t mean I can’t admit the last numbers of years under the conservatives have been disastrous, and labour so far have been no better. That’s obvious for most to see. The sooner we call it out together the better.
@MrAnalysis4 @Policecamz Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying they shouldn’t have shot in this situation but just because you’ve already shot doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use taser. Ones he’s on the ground one officer should attempt taser while the other officer maintains firearms cover, ready if taser fails
@MrAnalysis4 @Policecamz I dont think you understand how a Taser works, you keep saying bullets didn’t work so why would a taser, the whole point of a taser is to obtain Neuromuscular Incapacitation (NMI). If that’s obtained, he wouldn’t be able to get back up and can be very effective.
@PainfulSatire @Genderillennial Certainly not sexual assault. To claim this is sexual assault is insulting to real victims. Also doesn’t matter what was offered, your morals should tell you to say no in such situations. They were happy to go along with it and happy to post about it now for 15 mins of fame
@PatrickHanrahan @hairyhillfarmer Of all the things to criticise Sunak over, and there’s a lot, this is out of his control. It’s Belfast, Northern Ireland where the threat is higher. Every PM who visits NI gets the same treatment. That picture of Johnson is in England. Completely different scenarios.
@theJeremyVine Bad driving, don’t blame the cyclist for going through the red. You and the car are well over the Stop line and in the middle of the crossing. Any reason you didn’t stop?
@JoelUrech@DonutOperator I’m not saying she’d have been wrong if she pulled her firearm, if she did and shot him it would still be great work. I just wouldn’t criticise someone for trying not to use lethal force even when they’d be justified to do so and the scum bag deserves it.
@JoelUrech@DonutOperator There doesn’t need to be communication he see’s her draw taser and immediately draws his firearm, training kicks in he has a clean shot at the start until gun fails to fire, he fixes it and takes the shot. I can see your point but that situation is what less lethal option is for
@JoelUrech@DonutOperator That’s where you gotta trust your colleagues to have your back. Thankfully they did if being really critical maybe the shot could have been taken earlier but good work in a shitty situation
@ElectricBeard_@DonutOperator If she knew that her two colleagues were on conventional firearms cover as I assume she did then yes right call. She knew she was covered if the taser failed.
