@thismorning Police Officers have been using discretionary powers for many years. It is an unlawful (RUC v O’Hara) to order a police officer to make arrests. No one is saying shoplifting should be ignored or accepted, but circumstances surrounding each situation should be noted

@kittinpandaria No where near enough! They should be behind hard cover at least 400 metres for a vehicle that size. If you can’t find hard cover, double your distance

Cordon for a suspected explosive on a bus set at 50 metres?
Are they taking the piss?!
Who did the research for this??!

A Mercury tilt switch on the device on a door, I know what, I’ll cut the bag so I’ll reduce its capability to hold the device and then to make it worse, I’ll set about removing the draught excluder on the door that holds the device. FFS! 🤦🏼‍♂️ #TriggerPoint

So she walks into the building all kitted up with goggles and Kevlar helmet, then takes it off when she gets to it.

What’s the bloody point??? 🤦🏼‍♂️

@KatieTimms94 @corbin_tianna I’m more angered about the poor research into basic tactics, poor sound quality and a crappy story line

@girlinbluecurls Possibly TATP which is Triacetone/triperoxide or maybe even DADP which is diacetone/diperoxide. Easy to hand chemicals for improvised explosive devices. ANFO (ammonium nitrate fuel oil) was used a lot by IRA as red diesel was easy to come by

[Response Plod @ResponsePlod]

So Sir Francis Drake drove a car called “The Golden Hind” WTF?! 🤦🏼‍♂️ #TippingPoint

So Bobbies are stood directly in the line of sight of a vehicle that is potentially wired to blow up.

Who did the advising for this????
