I heard ( and only a story I have to say ) was that the prisoners were, shall we say, slapped around a bit buy our friends from Hereford who ended the hostage situation.

The SAS were robust.

Robust meaning bloody good pezzling I presume.

There was documentary on Discovery, one of those sorts of channels and a couple of guys from the SAS spoke about the prison. They were not as robust as they would have liked to have been so they said.

Ahh, so 7 bullets at point blank range into an innocent mans head is what the police consider a tragic mistake now adays? I guess thats why they whitewashed the whole investigation and fined the police on an hse technicality! Because apparently its against HSE regulations to execute innocent people.... go figure...

If you quoted my post in full as opposed to just picking part of it, you will have seen that I clarified what I meant.

The officers who shot him had been told, incorrectly, that JCdM was believed to be a known suspect. The main mistake was made elsewhere. In regards to the 7 shots, if you are told that a suspect is likely to detonate a bomb you will try to make sure that he dies instantly. Normally police shoot the trunk of a person as its the biggest area, however this would not always prevent someone from pressing a button. 7 shots to the head is more likely to prevent any movement.

Everyone has some arm chair general in them.

If I were in charge, I'd nuke the planet.

I think it's more swivel chair generals on here.

Not me, I am in the SAS, it is the biggest regiment in the world.

Yes, we all have an opinion. Get back on topic. I WANT MY SWEEPSTAKE!

I've played Battlefield Bad company 2 so I prefer to think of myself as a recon specialist, infact I'm currently sitting in a bush waiting for the suspect to pass by so I can call in an airstrike, I hope he doesn't take too long as I need a pee.

Something that is less likely to occur with a specialised army unit calling ALL the shots

There was quite a few of them, one yesterday was called 'Raoul Moat is a legend'. Looks like it's been removed now though.

_Jimlad_ · 7 Jul 2010 at 15:15

i don't know why this page is not removed, poor family for the injured and dead

This, but I would'nt of been able to put it so politely myself.

I wonder how these "facebook gangsters" would react when someone they know gets shot by him ... or all of the "cop haters" cheering him on, I wonder who they would call when he has a gun pointed at one of their friends. People like this need to be shipped off into the middle of the ocean and left there.

With the special forces running the whole show the mistakes are less likely to occur
