Floating Chamber Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Is there any news as to whether 'The Uzi' was real or not? (not that it makes much difference- he'd be in the wrong - assuming that he had it in the first place and it was not 'planted'.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 IMHO you couldnt pay me enough to be an armed police officer. When I was in the army in northern ireland, having to use your weapon in anger was absolutely the last thing you wanted to do. The moment a round was fired (thank god it never was in my case), it would be on your head to justify your actions in a court of law (assuming you actually hit somebody) - and woe betide you if you had misread what would more than likely have been an extremely confused and emotionally charged set of circumstances. I broadly agree with njc110381, I feel quite sure that the officer involved took what he saw to be the best course of action given the circumstances. Just my tuppence worth of course.

al4x Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 *** it won't be planted thats one of the more silly statements on here. He was spotted with it by a member of the public, who then got the normal plod in who then got the armed guys in there were witnesses a plenty. I'd guess the reason it was kept quiet is that its probably a replica the guy probably did it as a way of commiting suicide and the police would have wanted to inform his next of kin and check the guys background before releasing any information that could cause more pain to his relatives.

Probably, but not so 'silly' a suggestion, though; and you're right - you are guessing! Pot /kettle/black. It's going to be like a lot of deaths; will we ever get to the bottom of 'Kennedy,' 'Diana', 'Freddie Mills', 'Bhutto' and the like? Time might tell.

Floating Chamber Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Cranners! That's silly IMO! Why? I started this monumental thread, and if you don't like it, I'll leave! What is the matter with you? It is healthy discussion! What has happened to free speech? Strange things do happen in life - and what is wrong with my airing my views?

Cranfield Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Its doesn't matter who started the thread, which I remind you was about a shooting in Sevenoaks. We have degenerated through police bashing, insulting newspaper reporters and now we have the conspiracy theories. The thread has been derailed enough and before we get to alien abductions I am closing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
