GMP Officer Killed In Crash Horror.
Discussion
Per the Manchester press.. Bury based officer was allegedly on a shout in the Openshaw area of Manchester. (He had been returning to Bury after delivering prisoners to the station in Longsight per the paper)
Anyway - he collided with a car at traffic lights and overturned. Police are now investigating whether the van was responding to a 999 call when it allegedly went through the red lights.
Condolences to the Officer's family - especially his little boy.
GMP police do want any witnesses to this accident to contact them on 0161 856 3572.

I am loathe to pass comment here because there was a fatality.
You all know my views about police driving through red lights so i won't elaborate. I have said I think it's unneccessarily dangerous perhaps the family of the officer in this tragic case would now wish that policy had been changed.
Deaths I do not want on either side of the police fence.
My condolences to the family concerned.

"There should be no pursuits allowed in any circumstances". Great comment there. Cock trumpet.
So what starts off as a worthy tribute to a deceased BiB who died on duty, descends into someone taking cheap shots at the Police's audacious decision to actually pursue suspected Criminals (this not withstanding that the actual circumstances of the RTA itself arent even known to the general public as of yet, let alone if the Police vehicle was actually engaged in a chase).
FishFace, what would you prefer the Police to do when presented with a suspect who flees the scene of an incident in a car, politely ask them to stop & if they refuse, just shake their head & put it down to experience ?

I think that should be directed at mark69sheer rather than FishFace. You've misinterpreted his sarcasm filter.So what starts off as a worthy tribute to a deceased BiB who died on duty, descends into someone taking cheap shots at the Police's audacious decision to actually pursue suspected Criminals (this not withstanding that the actual circumstances of the RTA itself arent even known to the general public as of yet, let alone if the Police vehicle was actually engaged in a chase).

Oops, you are quite correct. What with my piss boiling & all, just wanted to vent my spleen.
FishFace I apologise most profusely Sir. As for the other Poster, words really do fail me as to how low some people can sink to try & make a point.
I should have put a face such as FishFace I apologise most profusely Sir. As for the other Poster, words really do fail me as to how low some people can sink to try & make a point.
to remove any ambiguity and lack of familiarity with my posting and opinions. No apology needed
Nasty accident by the sounds of things, and a sad outcome for everyone. Condolences to the family and friends of the officer involved.
On a bit of a tangent, I mis-read one of the replies and thought Von was calling someone a cock trumpet. I dunno why I found that so funny, but I chuckled, mainly because I thought it was Von that said it, and it was so out of character. Bit like Jeremy Paxman calling one of his interviewees a cock-trumpet or something.
