Excellent work Sussex police

I did wonder why it took my bus 10 minutes to travel 200 feet up st james street.

[Digga]

Is someone at the BBC making up their references and having a laugh?

The BBC said:

Frankie Sparrowhawk, 18, who walked past as it happened, said he heard two shots and saw a man on the floor.

The BBC said:

Students from a music school close to the scene in Rock Place described what they saw

WTF

[james_tigerwoods]

The title should have the obligatory "family sues police" after it for infringing his human rights followed by a "he was a good boy really" statement...

[Negative Creep]

Frankie Sparrowhawk is an awesome name

[dmitsi]

Well done coppers. There has been a spate of armed robberies here recently. Hopefully that's him gone.
Also Rock Place is genuine, though I can't vouch for My Sparrowhawk.

Some you win, some you lose. It appears the Police Win.

To all serving plod (armed) - do you feel remorse if you are forced to engage a criminal in this way?

"An IPCC spokeswoman said: "This will now be examined to establish whether it is real or an imitation weapon and whether it had been fired."

Does it matter?

Hmm, so what happened here, did this fella pull out his gun on the police?

You forgot to add that he was always good to his old mum.

And a sensible quiet boy who no one could ever imagine would do this?

...and if only he had received a decent amount of JSA, he would not have been forced into such action!

He was suspected of carrying out armed robberies on local post offices, believe he drew his weapon and goodnight vienna.

Shame they can't all draw their weapons on multiple cops who have MP5 pointing at their chests.

[PigFilth]

My sympathies to the officers who shot him. I am sure they will be glad when the IPCC ordeal is over.
