I am me, with my own opinion, I reject your labels as they reflect your BIAS not mine. The world is Grey not B&W

@keithg63 @DonnaDlm71 @stefiamico I am as using it as an example, to show the difference de-escalation tactics can make.the UK approach of officers in high vis with non aggressive equipment is the right approach, as is having riot units in the back ground.

@stefiamico @keithg63 @DonnaDlm71 There is no guarantee that it will always work, but that's part of the job.

@keithg63 @DonnaDlm71 @stefiamico De-escalation is what the police aim for

@DonnaDlm71 @stefiamico @keithg63 Personally I wouldn't kneel, but I won't talk for others. But it reduces tensions?

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@stefiamico @DonnaDlm71 So your primary duty is high risk interventions?

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@stefiamico @DonnaDlm71 Really, how?

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@stefiamico @DonnaDlm71 Actually no, he had forced the attacker to retreat, armed response found the attacker back in his room.

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@stefiamico @DonnaDlm71 What is your experience of carrying a firearm and attending high risk incidents?

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@stefiamico @keithg63 @DonnaDlm71 Does it reduce the liklyhood of open conflict?

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@Keezly1 Why not, if it is acceptable to judge others from the past?

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@Heather70753986 @Nclarke30 So the don't deal with, murders, assault, rape, abuse, kidnappings, housebreaking, muggings, vehicle accidents, terror attack's, hate crime, etc?
You remove the police then what?

@prudentinvestor It's a load of push same as the defacing of Robert the Bruce

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@markcunninghaam Just a question, in your article you refer to them enslaving blacks, should we not include the fact that Europeans accessed an existing slave market run by Africans and Arabs. Who were responsible for procuring slaves.

@No1552 @stefiamico @DonnaDlm71 FYI, I have experience from serving in the South African Police although I was lucky enough to never have to fire in anger.

[Ratel77 @Ratel771]

@No1552 @stefiamico @DonnaDlm71 I think it would be the wrong option to arm all officers in the UK. Firearms are not some magic cure-all and would further distance officers from the public, especially as the UK does not have a gun culture.
