Police ramming moped-stealing scumbags..

[bitchstewie]

Can't say I have an issue with this but it does look a little risky with lots of potential to go badly wrong for the officers involved.

I could ask the same of you.

The daily mail is an awful publication that sensationalise everything, take what you read with a pinch of salt!

Just in case somebody comes up with a credible, believable source?

This, a billion times!
Might make the scumbags think twice.
Sadly though, a scumbag will probably be killed and the media will say he was going to college/went to church/knitted jumpers for old ladies etc etc, then police will have to stop doing it.

Whats that, scratches and marks on the front of their nice shiney car? Hope its not leased!

Seen on a couple of occasions a moped gang presumably making a getaway of sorts; last time was the other morning - 4 of em tearing past traffic and jumping lights on the north circ without so much as a care. If the rozz dont start taking em down then using a moped is just going to be a free pass for scumbags to do as they wish.

The accompanying video kind of confirms it.

Been posted yesterday in long running bike theft/jacking thread in Biker Banter

How is the credibility of the source even relevant when it is just hosting video evidence, which you can judge with your own eyes?

So much stupid on PH sometimes.

The Daily Mail is the world's most popular news-site that does not sugarcoat everything for snowflake maniacs!

You're right, there is a chance the officers could get hurt - they should have shot them.

[ambuletz]

I have nothing wrong with this. it should be legal for regular people to ram or stand infront of chavs who ride around on off road bikes that aren't meant for the road. so that they crash.

couldn't have put it better myself.

The potential for things to go wrong arose firstly when the two MENSA members made the bad decision to steal a moped, then remained after their second bad decision not to stop for police. After that, it was all good. If they got a scratch or bruise, awwww. Worse = tough st basically.

Erm, thanks.

Anyway, it's about time the Police started doing this. They've been getting away with all sorts since this promising footballer managed to fall off and die a while back. I'm surprised they didn't just take off their crash helmets as plod aren't allowed to carry on pursuit if they do.
