no, one 'confronts' him when it is wise to after a comprehensive risk assessment.

TD - you've been watching too much Hill Street Blues.

I'm waiting for Huggy Bear to send in Starsky and Hutch.

speculating is woulda/coulda/shoulda
most likely apart from those involved no one knows the details and why of previous met operations that may have precipitated this

Al0uiseG · 07/08/2011 00:21

Jody McIntyre = Rent a gob mob with the added sympathy factor.

GhoulLasher · 07/08/2011 00:21

Bring it on Huggy!

Nihilisticbunny · 07/08/2011 00:22

"take a perp" have you been watching too much CSI? People are obviously angry, I will wait to make a judgement, the police are obviously not incapable of being mistaken.

sfxmum · 07/08/2011 00:23

so not a journalist?

Pan · 07/08/2011 00:26

So, if TD thinks he is 'wrong' then that adds weight to the notion he may have a point.

Shame about your disability angle, which is insulting and irrelevant.

maypole1 · 07/08/2011 00:31

My 2pence I think after they shot him once in the face that would have been enough but why twice?

To be honest sadly I think most of those people have nothing better to do.

But it dose seem from the news they are just being allowed to loot and the police are just watching

They should have contacted the family stright away and told them what had happened

scottishmummy · 07/08/2011 00:32

nor does it make jody accurate,impartial or non partisan
