RIP. Tragic news and condolences to the family.

Another awful example of what happens when we allow a group to do as they likey. This Officer would be alive today if they were subject to the same laws as the rest of us and dealt with appropriately. He didn’t stand a chance against this scum. The 13 year old will simply carry on doing this stuff and breed more who will do the same. It’s a way of life. It needs stamping on, right now. Sadly we don’t have the backbone to do it and so the spiral of decline will continue.

rehabilitation is working well though isn’t it ?
if it’s an open and shut case drop them off a boat 20 miles out to sea preferably with a couple of sandbags tied to them
Much cheaper than wasting money looking after what isn’t worth looking after

Just a heads up, somebody previously received a short ban for speculating who a returning poster was.

Which is right if the poster is returning under a new ID with agreement of the mods.

But not if the previous ID was banned...

No doubt you can figure it out.

And what laws aren’t they subject to ?

Hopefully a good few of those arrested will be nicked, charged and subsequently imprisoned for a long time for breaking various laws.

Thoughts are with the officer’s family. It’s terrible that he was on his own in such a situation.

Just looking for information that you clearly have that isn't posted on any of the news web sites?

Is that how it works? I don't know the context beyond what I posted above

Quite. Miscarriages of justice happen with flaws through the justice process.

You can (to some extent) financially compensate someone for time spent in prison.
You can't bring them back to life.
As Ian Hislop said, its not a deterrent if you kill the wrong people.
It's not a deterrent at all.

Iran and China execute an estimated 500 people per year and they are idyllic, crimeless paradises, right?

The Nordic nations who don't even lock people up for life and they are lawless hellholes, right.

The very best thing you can say about capital punishment is that it doesnt have an effect, however you need to admit that it's definitely not decreasing crime.

BTW, morality has everything to do with justice.

The people committing these acts of violence have no morals and thus should be treated as the animals they are.

Too many people have become soft and this is wholly the reason that crime has become so violent and prolific.

It should be introduced where there is NO DOUBT of the person being the perpetrator ie CCTV and DNA etc.
Not much evidence in criminology to support that as the cause / effect.
Even you would have to admit travellers are more brazen nowadays. Years ago a bit of metal theft, dodgy tarmacing.

Knowing the area it doesn't take a genius or much of a cynic to be fairly confident who it was. Hopefully they can get them all sent down for a whole life term, would be a blessing for everyone else.

It must take a level of professionalism beyond what most could muster to deal with such itinerant criminal vermin in a lawful and professional manner after they've killed one of your own. That they won't all accidentally trip over and break every bone in their hands and face is a credit to our police force.

Smiler.

Not sure ... this is a few miles from me, I'm the other side of M4 J12, I got married at the the venue at the top of the road where this occurred - would be a very lonely place to be as a single-crewed copper at nearly midnight on a weeknight.

In answer to your question, there are a lot of travellers causing havoc across the greater Reading area at the moment. It might be nothing to do with them, but the age ranges and numbers of people involved would suggest otherwise.
Not just Reading, High Wycombe & the surrounding areas too.

The marauding groups responsible are a plague.

Those cops dealing will be the most professional they have ever been. You don’t want to loose a case down the line because you have had a few minutes vengeance.

I don't think death sentences for infrequent serious crimes is the answer here. I think addressing lifestyles of continuous low level criminality is more of an issue.

Don't get your hopes up, it's not going to be a murder charge if he was struck by a car.

Difficult to prove the action was premeditated with an intention to kill .

No-one will spend much time in stir, mark my words.
