Wookie Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I agree with Hunter completely. You only have to look at the recent petition against road pricing signed by 1.8m people submitted ON A GOVT E-PETITION to realise how little they actually care about the people they are chosen to represent. Back to the policeman though. No matter what happened there, he made a choice and a decision. In some cases no decision is the wrong thing to do and people suffer for it. He made a decision that mat have saved his two mates and then paid a far too heavy price for it. You cannot blame him for making what we see as a poor choice. He doesn't have to live with the results, his family and co-workers do. Either way, he was a brave man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Well, its down to EVERYONE in this country, including everyone reading this, who can make Britain better.. we cant all sit around waiting for somone to come along and change it. We all have great ideas how to make it better.. but none of us do anything.. Wish I had the degrees and ability to get into Uni and climb the ladder, to make this country a better place.. but lack of interest in politics, and slow maths leaves me behind :blink: probably a good thing Im 100% certain things will be better oneday.. Every country goes through a rough patch, as long as eveyone has high hopes for a better place, it will (oneday) be better. But in no way will I blame this officers death on BLiar or the goverment.. I only hope someone has learnt something from this and it wont happen again. Its an unfortunate risk of being an officer, and I give them all my respect and thanks for being out there everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callofduty Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 y do these people ruin it for every1 like the ban on hand guns 1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEFTY478 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 y do these people ruin it for every1 like the ban on hand guns 1996 Because there is a mixture of MAD & BAD people that commit crime. The BAD ones do it 'cos they can and they don't give a **** who gets hurt. And the MAD ones do it 'cos the moon's made of cheese. Laws do not/ will not stop crimes being commited, if they did there'd be an awlful lot of Ol' Bill & Prison Screws down the DHSS office. Tighter Gun Laws are inconvenient; a brave man murdered, a wife left widowed and two fatherless children is beyond compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I agree this country in some ways seems to be going to rat*** with a legislation obsessed government and the countryside/farming in a stranglehold but anyone old enough to remember the 1980s?I live in Cheshire now but my home town had 50% unemployed when i left in 82.West Cumbria was absolutely shafted by a certain other administration leaving ghost towns and all that went with it.Violence and drugs and broken families.Seems a bit better there nowadays.

pob Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Does anyone recall the last deliberate killing with a legally held firearm, policeman or otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think this copper did his best in a bad situation. With his experience, he must have thought that what he was doing was the right thing and just got it wrong. It's a risky job to be in isn't it, and these things are going to happen sometimes. It's horrible that they do, but things are never going to change. I wish the public could see that banning guns isn't the way forward, but with the media using anything they can to sell a story they are just misled. I'm not sure who the biggest problem in the country is, the government or the media. Both have a lot to answer for. Guns are just misunderstood by the majority, and it's the majority that give the votes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
