Cops not chasing motorcyclists/theives once they take their helmet off

As a poster mentioned previously - risk vs reward.

The more you chase someone, the more desperate and dangerous they become. The preservation of life is what is most important, be it the general public, the police officers or the person who stole the bike.

A dead suspect is generally not a good one, both because it costs the tax payer money with the ensuing investigations (not to mention it takes up more time of the emergency services to deal with the fallout when there is an accident) and lack of information from questioning that could generate leads to further reduce crime.

Question to those of you who just want them chased / rammed / killed - Your relative is getting chest pains but unfortunately the closest ambulance is miles away. There was one closer but they have had to attend a RTI scene where a 'scrote' on a bike was being chased by the Police but made an error in judgement and has been killed, with two members of the general public being seriously injured.

Your relative dies. Also someones house burns down, and violent disorder in another part of the town goes unchecked.

Are you still happy that the Police chased the 'scrote'?

That is the reality - like it or not. Our emergency services are stretched thin and have to consider many angles when responding to a 'scrote on a bike'.

Yes it is annoying, but the fallout from just ramming a lad off a bike or from a chase thet ends up in innocent lives being lost or endangered is several orders of magnitude higher than the fallout should they call off the chase and try and apprehend the suspect in other ways (or write it off as a 'got away').

In all likelyhood whatever the 'scrote' has stolen is insured and surely an insurance claim is better than loss of life?

I have been around long enough to remember when a crook said - "fair cop guv" to the utter scum we have produced in last 30 years - I am all for rough justice - I feel the goody two shoes people who wring their hand if anything happens to crook all seem to live in the secluded parts of country away from real life or are bloody social workers - (I will keep them for another day)

This is my personal view whether anyone agrees or not I don't give too hoots.
It's a free country (no it isn't but people still can't see that either)

Yes because firing a gun one handed whilst trying to ride a motorbike is a reasonable and responsible thing to do!

I wonder if you would feel the same if one of his strays ended up in you or someone you love?

Your appalling grammar is deserving of some rough justice.

No such thing as an honest crook. Never has been. You are deluded.

Yes I agree with the ocuk sentiment....

Cut off the hands of anyone who steals.
Run down naughty people.
Burn anyone who commits adultery.
Stone anyone who disagrees with me.
Drown all gays.

Allah akbar! Long live ISIS

Yep, if caught for a 5-th or 10th time like many parasites are, cut off their hands to prevent more damage.
Yep, people who assault others with hammers, rob them, etc, should be run down.
Burning for adultery I don't agree with, but you have to be an idiot to get married in this day and age in the first place. **** religion, and the old morals. ''**** buddies''/friends with benefits is a much better better agreement. I do think child molesters deserve castration though.
 
When some 13 year old kid smashes his head in off a kerb whilst trying to get away from a police car there are plenty of communities out there that would be totally up in arms about it, after all riding a motorbike without insurance or a license down the local park really isn't worth someone's life, I think we'd agree.

The police are equally disliked for either doing or not doing their job, criticism abounds whatever the situation, they simply cannot win in the eyes of the public, whichever course of action they chose they will inevitably be reckless or negligent one way or another. Changing this will need to be driven by politicians, and the Police are hardly popular within certain home office circles at the moment....

His grammar is hardly a crime, I'm not sure why you felt you had to point it out really :/ Does it make his point less valid?
He didn't mention anything about an honest crook either I think, perhaps you're deluded?

Innocent until proven guilty. You're chasing a suspect, not necessarily a criminal, and for what may well be a relatively minor offence. It's not usually acceptable, here in the UK at least, to risk killing a suspect in such cases.

Failing to stop is a crime as is dangerous driving.
 
Technically innocent until guilty, in reality some chode, running away from the coppers, on a moped that was stolen 30 mins earlier violently, is obviously guilty.

There is no need to pamper criminals. As much action should be taken as possible to prevent them from repeating their mistakes. I'm all for forgiving once or twice, but now you have thieves and pickpockets who are being caught for the 10th time or so, laugh it off with a couple of weeks in the can, and continue to plague the working man like before when they're free. These people do not need protection, if anything they should receive help so that Darwinism does its job ( and they ride into a tree or post without their helmet, at least that stops them from being thieving scum for a while or for ever).
 
Its amazing to see so many entitled people happily hand out death sentences to others because they are not them. I work hard for my stuff too, I had good parents who helped me become a good and conscientious person, and when someone steals my stuff I'm ****** off. But I realise they probably didn't have what I have, I'm not better than them, just lucky.

For the most part my valuable stuff is insured, thats what its for. How can you blame someone who has been **** on by their parents their whole lives for not knowing anything else.

In my opinion people saying these things are worse, as they should know better.
