[Oakey]

Could it be connected to the guy with the knives arrested earlier that day?

Someone has been shot by The Police, we have no idea why. It's not as though they haven't shot anyone before that they shouldn't have.

Put your semi away and wait until you have more information.

Another ste MarshPhantom thread.

5 shots fired and no ones died.... (yet)

Some training needed perhaps?

On the contrary. Shooting to immobilize is preferable to shooting dead, where possible, and this seems to have happened here. That's what the training should be for.

It really isn't. This is action movies where the hero shoots the gun out of their hand or shoots them deliberately in the leg or some nonsense.

They'll be trained to shoot the big part of the body and whatever happens injury wise is down to luck.

Shooting to immobilise is a myth or Hollywood plot.

Our Police should use the film Top Secret as a training film on the use of automatic weapons:

I wonder sometimes why people don't just post a thread called "I want an argument"

Would you like to tell me what happened?

You do know that irony has nothing to do with ironing, don't you?

You suggest by insinuation and innuendo and then, by the same method, accuse someone else of jumping to conclusions.

Is there something you'd like to get off your chest?

You don't know what happened. In fact, we don't know what happened. What we do know, however, is that there will be a full investigation into the shooting, as there always is. Then we will be better informed.

A non-sexist heading might be: Police officers put themselves at risk to protect the public. If the enquiry comes to the conclusion that the officers acted bravely, I'm sure that you will start a thread so headed.

I'd have been more reassured if we had heard why she was shot. We haven't.

Yes it is connected. Huge admiration for our security services who foiled another plot. We already know this was down to active surveillance- the police down gas a house unless they 'know' bad guys planning bad st is going on.

no it isn't, that's the whole purpose of shooting someone

just that it's usually permanent

Surely the fact the OP is MarshFantom and it's in NP&E is a big enough clue?

Did the news report you saw say "She must've had it coming"?

Its been reported to the IPCC, so the Police will not be able to comment / speculate at this time.

Absolutely. What a nonsense thread, nonsense because of the biased and loaded manner in which the OP has started it and conducted himself. Dear oh dear.

Officers say the operation was not connected to an arrest near Parliament on Thursday, when a man was detained on suspicion on terror offences.

Marsh, do you sit watching traffic cops foaming at the mouth at the "dirty pigs"? Did you once get your arse handed to you unfairly while pissed up shouting the same anti police nonsense on a night out/all dayer? Or maybe the police raided one of your grows and you wonder everyday why they're not out catching those rapists and burglars rather than picking on you.
