You suggested he would not have sympathy if he crashed into a pram while going over the edge. why stop there. What if he hit a pram, the pram rolled in front of a car, that swerved and killed a bus stop full of war veterans! just a ridiculous analogy!Make up whatever crazy scenario you want.

I don't think the police will see it as a success. You have to swim to be a police officer there. I don't know if that applies to PCSOs.
An elderly lady may still be in hospital several weeks after being pulled from the sea after falling off a quayside around the corner and being rescued by two younger adults. Near there a few years ago a young female student with some health condition swam out 70-100 yards into open water and pulled someone back to shore.
The Officer Safety Training there includes use of a throw line. I was under the impression that all of their marked cars had them in the boot but maybe I was misinformed or misheard.
The Officer Safety Training also includes use of cuffs, restraints and incapacitant spray.
Some have called this thief stupid, that's it's Darwinism at work. It's a good job this chap didn't die in the harbour on Friday as that would have been the two year anniversary of the death of Thomas Orchard, a schizophrenic that had 6 police officers that would have had Officer Safety Training including the use of throw lines and restraints place a restraint around his head as a spit guard.
So two years ago someone had their life snuffed out for suspicion of a public order offence.
This thief is as stupid as the six police officers and the nurse that didn't think that putting a restraint belt around the head of a person in custody was not a good idea? That'll learn him aye, spitting at police officers.
It's one less nutter on the streets isn't it?
This thief has been dealt with, taken their last breath. Two years on the relatives of Thomas Orchard are no closer to getting justice.
I guess you can't play for time like the police, CPS, IPCC and the HSE when you're in a harbour stuck between a quayside wall and rotting fishing boat?

Only here would a bunch of people be glad someone died whilst committing a minor crime. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Spoken like a social worker.If you'd like a society where criminals die more regularly there's a few places to choose in the world. Maybe you'd prefer Iraq or Syria?
Notwithstanding the missed play on words, I don't think he deserved to die for nicking a bike. I just couldn't care less without knowing a lot more details.

Sounds that way, not many others on here bragging about committing vicious assaults.Fighting is just a physical expression when the brain can't cope with the situation in a normal rational way.
Being the aggressor always tends to show a lack of substance.
Back on topic...
He must have been up late the night before, too tyred to see the water coming.

I've just spent £500, that I can not afford, putting right the damage some fektard did to my motorbike whilst trying to steal it. Took a while to get the parts so I was forced to drive or use the train in the rush hour. Major inconvenience and cost.
A day wasted getting it to the garage for the repairs and 3 days later some other kvnt drives into it and knocks it over. Around another £500 in damage.
My brand new Discovery was keyed on every panel and cost me 1000s on resale, my BMW has been pointlessly vandalised many times in it's 16 year history. The windows still don't work properly after someone thought it a great idea to smash two of them in nearly 9 years ago. Two bloody costly repairs to put right.
Every year my insurance goes up, not because I claim, which I don't, but because so many do as motor theft is now an epidemic. There are motorbikes that I had no problem insuring in my 30s that I can't get insurance on now, 20 years later.
Theft is treated by the police as so minor that they don't bother and we don't bother to report it.
So if I could wish death or more preferably some awful disease like some of my family have suffered, always law abiding folk, I would.
Died nicking a £99 bicycle. Serves you fekin' right!!!!!!

Well that's odd. On average they have been falling over the last three years.The first half of this year they were down 11% at one of the market leaders, Admiral.
Might rise in future mind.

Death simply isn't an appropriate punishment here.I see a Darwin award perhaps but suggesting keying your SUV deserves cancer (sorry for your loss BTW
) is way OTT and makes this sound like a Daily Mail whinge written by someone who would rather live in the Sudan or Saudi.

But it is not punishment is it. This was not handed down by a judge it is a natural justice the best kindI see a Darwin award perhaps but suggesting keying your SUV deserves cancer (sorry for your loss BTW
