Re: 2 Police Officers shot and killed in Manchester
 

I have the utmost respect for the police forces up and down the country, who put there lives on the line for us, EVERY member of this forum should be grateful for what they do on a daily basis.

It really angers me when we have members, yes members of this forum, who state that sometimes they sit on there backsides doing nothing and get paid too much money.

The hypocrites of governments past and present who make severe cutbacks in the police services, and complain about certain things that are being taken away from officers.

Police officers should get paid double for what they do.

Just to clarify something regarding a 'normal patrol' NO force would ever place there officers in danger, if a call comes in, checks are done right down to detail before an officer attends and address. EVERYTHING is done by senior officers to insure the safety of there officers.

All forces are in deep shock over this matter, and my thoughts are with the families of these officers. I say bring back the rope for murder - and l would gladly pull the trigger.

ALL officers should get our heartfelt respect for what they do and given everything for the job. Maybe those members who condemn the police service should think twice now about what they say.

Not just gunfire but also grenades thrown! A man has been arrested after walking into a Police station. Dale Cregan 29 who was wanted in connection of another gun and grenade attack and has also been arrested for the death of the two officers.

So sad that two unarmed officers have been killed.

An absolutely horrendous crime terrible

RIP

I know I have never been a friend to the Law but my daughter has just started collage doing Public Services then onto Uni with the intention of joining the Police.I am proud and support her choice but seeing stories like this worry me terribly

Re: 2 Police Officers shot and killed in Manchester
 

Apparently, the guy responsible, got someone to phone the police to report a burglary, when these two officers arrived on scene, which was considered just a routine incident, the suspect went out and shot them dead. Chief Constable just said in a statement that this was deliberate and nothing but Cold blooded Murder.

The ******* will only do about 15 years.

He should only come out in a box, no paraole, no compasionate release if he becomes ill.

Re: 2 Police Officers shot and killed in Manchester
 

If he admits to doing it then string him up. *******s like that do not deserve to live.



RIP those two brave and courageous police officers and my thoughts are with there families at this time.

Re: 2 Police Officers shot and killed in Manchester
 

Considering he is now linked to at least 4 murders I certainly hope he won't get out in 15 years.

The more I hear the more angry I get.

In my mind the inhabitants of the estate are culpable by knowing full well a suspect in a double murder was walking the streets and they protected him, he then showed the coward that he is by walking into a Police station to protect his own skin and how dare Theresa May and David Cameron mouth their empty words when they are planning to destroy the force and steal officers pensions.

RIP PC Bone and PC Hughes, 3 and 5 years service. :(

Shocking.

Re: 2 Police Officers shot and killed in Manchester
 

As there is no REAL deterrent to murder in this country and that our prisons are no more than hotels, no one is worried about getting caught as the punishment no longer fits the crime

Re: 2 Police Officers shot and killed in Manchester
 

R.I.P. :(

How anyone can still argue for an unarmed police force in this country is beyond me....
This isn't the Britain of Dixon's of Dock Green,and it isn't the 1920's either.In fact,in the 20's coppers could take a firearm on patrol if they felt the need to...

Our police officer's are woefully under-equipped.... the stab vests are a joke,they don't even get propper CS gas and the telescope stick isn't up to much,either.
They need proper bullet-proof vests as other European forces wear and a Glock and Taser on their belt,imo.

The sad fact of life is that sometimes the law will be enforced from the tip of the gun.How are officers supposed to be ready for anything that 21st century crooks in Britain today throw at them when they don't have the proper gear to work with?
The overwhelming majority of police officers will never,ever need their gun.Most won't ever fire a bullet.Heck,most won't ever DRAW the gun. But every now and then the situation arises where an officer will need a sidearm.
Remember Derek Bird where cops were hiding away and couldn't confront him cause they had no gun?How is such a thing even acceptable?

It's all very well calling for the harshest sentences and even the death penalty for the animal who did this... great.Doesn't help PC Bone and PC Hughes though,does it?
We bemoan the tragic loss of cops when it happens but nothing ever changes about this idiotic policy of an unarmed police force,supposedly because it's tradition and we're apparently so proud of our cops being unarmed.... :rolleyes:

Why? Can anyone tell me? All I see is two more dead human beings and a policy that was out of date 40 years ago....

We really need to get over ourselves on this issue and give our police officers the tools and support they need to do the job!

So,I for one will be writing to my MP and tell him how I feel....

If he does not get life without parole then the is no justice in this country.

He probably thinks this will make him top dog in prison hopefully someone with a shiv will sort him.
