Yeah you are so big and honourable.

I'd like to see the state of your underwear if you had to leave the comfort of your PC screen and confront a man with a loaded gun who the police have sent an armed unit after.

Nice to see liberal fruitcakes such as yourself and skippo90 policing this thread for any sign of someone talking any sense that might be politically incorrect.

The fact of the matter is that if they believed he was armed, confronting him in a public area wasn't exactly as smart idea now was it?

And if you can argue that, you're not worth my time.

Anyone disagree with any of the above?

Yes, I don't think you think... you're using pure speculation to base an argument on.

any other live feeds apart from sky/bbc news?

Tbh, seems like they've got under control. We'll have to wait until night fall to see if it brings out more of the scumbags.

The fact that the news are hardly reporting anything new is really reassuring.

I thought you were ignoring me. That lasted, what, 4 minutes

Hang on

How did they know he had a gun on him before shooting???

Probably because he was a known criminal and senior member of the Star Gang, an offshoot of the 'Man Dem' crew, a suspected crack cocaine dealer thought to be planning a revenge execution against a rival gang following the murder of his brother; and the attempted arrest was part of Operation Trident - set up specifically to combat black-on-black gun crime.

I think they'll have assumed (correctly) he would in possession of a loaded firearm.

Where else will they confront him?

Are you in a special needs school or something?

Tell me, where else will they confront him? Maybe if they just sent him a dinner invitation at the local police station he will turn up and hand himself in?

Hardly reassuring, the News simply don't care about anything if a fire hasn't been started, nothing appeals better than a good ol' combustion.

RIOTS IN OCUK LAND ;p - to be honest trashing Hanley will only improve it

@chrisbirchall7
Apparently rioters are forming in Hanley S O T so please stay away for your safety!

flibbage0 · 9 Aug 2011 at 19:32

We don't know what has happened yet, so we can't assume what happened but we cannot also say whether it was lawful or not.

Something does seem a bit fishy.

I logged out, and then seen the post so came back to comment as there was a comment made towards myself in your tedious post

So they were investigating him but didn't know where he lived?
