Specially trained, like that lot who killed the brazilian guy?

Some training. Don't get ID. Take a leak instead of watching your
subject. Chase him down, again without ID. Pin him to a seat in the
Tube. THEN shoot.

Sorry, I don't give a rat**** about these "my country is better than
yours" threads but do NOT give me this "Specially trained" bull****.
That was an amateur screw up, that cost an innocent man his life.


One occurance and the Brazilian guy was so innocent his address was found in
one of the un-exploded back packs. The only thing he was innocent of was
that he wasnt actually carrying a bomb and probably wasnt part of the 5 bomb
assault team that day. What about the American Police who shoot to kill then
ask questions later.... your saying this doesnt happen?
As far as my country is better than your country goes, i have never said
that and nor will i. I have a huge amount of respect for America and its
people.. well, most of its people... and you will find if you knew me at all
i take as i find.. if people are nice to me i am nice back. I am nice to
people who i dont know... until they make me dislike them... The specially
trained quote is true... they are not normal Bobbies on the Beat.. but that
said, even specially trained people screw up sometimes, its a fact of life.
