I think you better find out WHY people protest "certain" killings by police officers, then get back to us then 7 hours ago, West 77 said: The rent a mob brigade tend to be anti the police. This tragic incident should be a reminder to everyone what a dangerous job the police do. The police officer wasn't safe in his own police station. The media and the social media brigade are too quick to criticise the police when force is used to arrest suspects. he was arrested, he was in a police station, ive read he had handcuffs on...and hands behind his back?  something went VERY wrong, somewhere  nothing to do with needing to use force to arrest him  R.I.P Ratana Edited September 26, 2020 by melthebell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Brooker11 Â Â 10 #15 Posted September 27, 2020 An absolutely shocking crime that should be all over the media, it will disappear from the news in a few days as did the Birmingham stabbings and the love in for US criminals will be back at the forefront, disgraceful.

ECCOnoob   1,040 #17 Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Could not agree more MTB.  I really dont know what more some people expect. It has been all over the media and still is on the 24/7 channels. Lets be frank - all there is to say at the present time has been said.  Tragic death. Public shock, sympathy and tributes observed. Criminal suspect identified and associate arrested. Case ongoing.     End of news.  I have no doubt that when there is something further to report such as the charges brought against the suspect, the court case, the potential errors in police procedure investigation, the suspected institutional failures causing this fatality and any associated dismissals - the news will spring to action once again and it will be reported in great detail on every network broadcast for hours on end.  Until such time comes - that's it. Shows over. People need to stop with the rubber necking and oh dearisms.

catmiss   12 #20 Posted September 27, 2020 There’s obviously some issues to be investigated e.g. how the gun wasn’t found on the arrest search, how it was fired at the PO and himself when he was handcuffed behind. No doubt this will all be revealed but thank goodness we are not USA and take to the streets, protest and are fired up to take retaliatory action but instead can feel the sadness of a person killed whilst doing their job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Or so? And they got a suspected gun supplier after raiding a few places. So you think announcing the shooter instantly would give that return? Or so you think people that know him might leg it once his name crops up all over the media? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
