The guy had a few beers after full day of work, 3 times over the drink driving limit and chilling before bed late in the evening. He would have been fairly dozey, he was clearly placid and confused. The police officer was covered in tattoos. I am very old fashioned, judgemental and prejudiced but in his police photo he doesn’t look like someone I would trust with any firearm.

The sergeant in charge of the unit was the fly in the ointment.To gratify his own diseased sense of amusement he was deliberately hazing a drunk guy who was scared to death (literally as it turned out) by bellowing contrary orders at him while threatening to kill him. Unfortunately the cretin in the picture thought it was all real, and as he was just itching to shoot someone in the line of duty, he jumped at the first opportunity and opened fire. A proper emotional intelligence test should have weeded both of these guys out - particularly from an armed response role. Morons with a nasty streak.

Retsdon Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Talking of Nelson, for anyone who might be interested in the minutiae of the Napoleonic Naval War, I can highly recommend this book .https://www.amazon.com/Line-Upon-Wind-Great-1793-1815/dp/0393066533 . Those men were something else. They had a dedication to duty and a disregard for their own safety in the face of discharging it that, to us today would be unthinkable. And Nelson was the main man.

lancer425 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 A question for you all.! The news media handling brexit / corona virus "Worldwide" and Now the Race/ Not race / rent a mob riots / demos "Worldwide. . Is it time the News media had its wings well and trully clipped . For the sake of preventing civil unrest. ? I do not think the CNN/ BBC or any other left wing media, is having a positive effect on proceedings . In fact i would go so far as to say the opposite its actually inflaming the civil unrest. Are the people of the world grown up enough for real facts, or do we actually need feeding a controlled dose of well filtered news media in order to protect ourselves from ourselves.

Those men were something else. They had a dedication to duty and a disregard for their own safety in the face of discharging it that, to us today would be unthinkable. And Nelson was the main man. Life on a ship of the line was unbelievably harsh. My dad was in the Navy and when I was about 11 we went to HMS Victory. Walking round in the summer, eating an ice cream you don't realise what living on a gun deck with open hatches above you would have been like on a ship at sea in the winter . My Dad picked it up immediately. Having been on destroyers in the north Atlantic when after a couple of days at sea nothing was dry and water was sloshing about everywhere below decks. During the Napolionic war Nelson in the Victory blockaded the French channel ports for two winters and a summer. Being on a lee shore with the wind blowing you constantly towards the coast the entire crew would have to go up in the rigging and change the sails round every twelve hours or so, night and day raining or freezing cold it made no difference. Unable to be given hot food at sea, they were given biscuits and a pint of rum a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my architects is unhappy that she has been furloughed without the additional employer contribution. 80% pay for zero work. Her fiancé is an architect too. They have a very good combined income and no children. At Christmas we gifted the office extra days holiday as a bonus. She complained that we only gifted 3 days and that didn’t fit in with her plans. Tempted to fire her just to help her learn a valuable life lesson 🤣 But sadly she’s too good to let go and also the head of HR would hang me out to dry.

12gauge82 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I would still like someone to give me a logical reason Floyd being shot caused a race war, I saw nothing (yet) that points to his death being in any way racially motivated. The only racism I have seen so far, is towards anyone white, as it would appear, merely being born white is all that needs to happen to be accused of being a racist by certain individuals, some of whom are white themselves I must add. The whole situation is ludicrous to me, what this has to do with the UK completely eludes me. I think the vast majority of people here, see what's going on here (UK) as nothing more than an excuse for a lawless element of society to run amok unabated.
