Please see this post through the eyes of someone who is most of the way through his fourth beer of the evening... So, you're a police firearms officer, trained to arrest dangerous people. You've maybe got a wife and two young children. You've been briefed that the guy you've been tasked with arresting has a history of violence, is known to be collecting a firearm from a known gang armourer, was the number one suspect in a gang murder, is the current number 48 on a list of europes top violent people, is a suspected gang member, is suspected of dealing drugs and is related to, whatever. You're in front of the guy and he's not doing what you and your colleagues are shouting at him. He's holding something and suddenly points it at you. You've got a gun in your hand, pointing at the suspect. You think he's going to shoot you or your colleagues. You've got less than a second to make a judgement and act on it. What do you do?
He was reported to have his phone in his hand. It it was on one of the bbc reports. In fact, all of it was, apart from my suppositions
They could have asked him if he knew the fucking way to Amarillo. As long as they shot him eventually. That tache deserved a bullet.
if anyone thinks this was an organized hit, you probably need help, mistake probably, cover up unlikely.
this is the kind of uneducated out of context comment thats fuels the hysteria about this whole case………….given the briefing and history of MD it would be a bit like taking a 125 to a super bike race….

Its not the Chicago way. he pulls a knife, you pull a gun. he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. seriously though, regardless of whether the gun was in his hand or not, the job the policeman had, in having to approach a car, with a known gangster in, who is known to have a gun on him, a pretty terrifying job to do. it could easily have been a no win scenario. It's not like he had clear line of site of MDs hands or any real knowledge of what he was doing. It would not be surprising if he took a very cautious approach, especially with so many pedestrians in the area.
OK....I give in........Plod = 1, creep = 0.........Drinks all round. God help us at the next election...........(sorry, riot)
