Visitor permit or not,he still should have stopped.The cops didn't know
whether he was a terrorist or not.For all they knew,he could have had a
bomb on him and was going to set it off.Bottom line is,When the cops
holler STOP!,that means STOP!


The cops were watching a block of flats. They didn't know who lived
where. This bloke came out.....etc.

Listen clown. We have been deluged with info on this in every news
bulletin and in every paper.
They didn't know who he was and made no allowances for any other
circumstances at all.

In your brutal country it may be normal to do this sort of thing, but it
isn't over here, nor in any other European country that I can think of..
Although it's getting that way.

I understand that you are now debating on whether to execute a mentally

You can distinguish a plainclothes cop from a thug with a gun or an
ordinary citizen with a gun? Care to put your money where your mouth is? I

It was AFAIK a student visa.

These last for typically one year however one can get an extension for a
further year by showing proof that ones college fees have been paid in
advance.

After that period though one 'normally' has to return to ones home country.

One exception is if one can find a sponsor and a good lawyer to receive
a work permit but this must be impossible for an 'electrician'.!

My 2p is that some of this is a government, media, police BS smoke
screen for killing an innocent person.

I think they call it 'damage limitation'.

I hate to think what fallout there would of been had the guy been a Muslim.



I have been waiting for this to come up. The Police are damned if they
shoot and damned if they dont shoot. Some one from some where will
moan, winge, wine and complain all about the Police and the way they acted.
Well LISTEN......... As far as I am concerned they done the right
thing, ok, its very very sad that an Inocent person got killed
BUT.........If they didnt shoot and he WAS a bomber and it blew up and
killed a load of people then people would have good cause to winge,
wine, moan and complain.
At times the Police just cant win, because every one else would have
done it better.

So letts all tell the Police NOT to shoot and to take a chance and see
if he will blow up or not, just in case he is Inocent. **** THAT.... I
dont think so.
So next time then, if the Police DONT shoot and one goes off and if one
of the people who get killed are a son or daughter or other loved one,
then just say to your self ohhhhh thats just fine officer its better not
to shoot in case he was Inoccent. It realy dont matter about the people
who just got blown to pieces does it.

This is REALITY like it or not. We all have to live with it.
The Police are not perfect and will never be so, and if it comes to that
neither are any of us. So for those who will moan, wine, winge and
complain, THINK about it, would you rather take a chance or not?
Knowing full well that chance may be your last on Earth. Ohhh I had
better not shoot him just in case he isnt one.......just to please all
those out there who know better than every oner else on earth.

That was slightly over a month ago, the city was Compton located in
Los Angeles County, California. The agency was Los Angeles Sheriff
Department. The initial response to this by the Sheriff Department
was that the deputies failed to coordinate their response with each
other, failed to follow training/accepted practices for such a
situation and in general blew it.

FWIW, several Southern California law enforcement agencies are
struggling with how to respond to threats from suspects in vehicles;
1) it is difficult at best to determine if they are armed and 2) the
vehicle itself constitutes a weapon. So, somebody who is driving a
3000# 'weapon' and also has a firearm and is in a 'mighty ****ed off'
state of mind does become a real threat to public safety. Sometimes
law enforcement does truly blow it, try to remember that for every
largely publicized error there are hundreds of traffic stops, warrants
served and arrests made that happen without incident.

Brit practice is to follow until something happens. A helicopter is
useful. If the driver is known to be armed then an ARV (Armed Response

It was an urban area and yes, even folks not in the lines of fire
were frightened that it happened.

That is what our law enforcement agencies do also, wherever possible.
Often, the suspect will stop and force a confrontation in a highly
populated area which leaves the officers little choice in their
response. The case cited above is NOT typical of law enforcement
response where the goal is apprehension of the suspect with minimal
risk to the general public. FWIW, I am familiar with Compton and can
offer that if patrolled by the Brits they would NOT keep their
firearms in a lock-box.

That was slightly over a month ago, the city was Compton located in
Los Angeles County, California. The agency was Los Angeles Sheriff
Department. The initial response to this by the Sheriff Department
was that the deputies failed to coordinate their response with each
other, failed to follow training/accepted practices for such a
situation and in general blew it.


I hope it was in a rural area. The idea of 120 rounds flying about in a
populated place is frightening.

It was an urban area and yes, even folks not in the lines of fire
were frightened that it happened.

FWIW, several Southern California law enforcement agencies are
struggling with how to respond to threats from suspects in vehicles;
1) it is difficult at best to determine if they are armed and 2) the
vehicle itself constitutes a weapon. So, somebody who is driving a
3000# 'weapon' and also has a firearm and is in a 'mighty ****ed off'
state of mind does become a real threat to public safety. Sometimes
law enforcement does truly blow it, try to remember that for every
largely publicized error there are hundreds of traffic stops, warrants
served and arrests made that happen without incident.


Brit practice is to follow until something happens. A helicopter is
useful. If the driver is known to be armed then an ARV (Armed Response
Vehicle) is called in. The occupants have to get permission from a
senior officer to open the locked box and carry the firearms.

That is what our law enforcement agencies do also, wherever possible.
Often, the suspect will stop and force a confrontation in a highly
populated area which leaves the officers little choice in their
response. The case cited above is NOT typical of law enforcement
response where the goal is apprehension of the suspect with minimal
risk to the general public. FWIW, I am familiar with Compton and can
offer that if patrolled by the Brits they would NOT keep their
firearms in a lock-box.


Yeah, Compton ain't Ozzie and Harriet land, that's for sure.

A few years ago,the idea of an old elderly guy in Northern limeyland
