Annoyed about politics
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
--- Quote from: "Pete" ---Whitnes statements state. A He wasn't running. B there was no call to him to stop. C Woman sat next to him stated that he was pinned down before he was shot.
Squadie in NI fires ONE shot at a car that runs a check point in the dark. Ends up in Wakefield jail convicted of murder.
Cop fires SEVEN shots into someones head at point blank range in a well lit area and walks free.
As the bard put it. There is something rotten in the state of Denmark.
Crap training, bad management, call it what you want, it should never have happened.
Pete.

Pete, I agree. It should not have happened, nor should the case with the squadie ever have got to court, but Politics are at play here. Unfortunately there will now be more public enquiries into it. Meanwhile, the bombers sit there and laugh at the way we handle all this. It is a very, very bad joke.

I take it that you have all the facts with regards to the security services and the police and are aware of all the information and the decisions that went on in the lead up to the situation in the tube. Have you had, or seen any of the training that the officers have. Do you know what information they had and how that information effects the outcome?
If we are going to start throwing things then should he have been in the country?

Thats what i was thinking was he just running because he was scared and didn't know what was happening?
I'm not say that it was wrong to shoot him after all i wasn't there so i can't really past judgment and i hope ill never have to decide, but for thos who do have to make the call good on them not a job i would want.
