In my opinion I would say that if this bloke was going do lally with a sword then it was right he was shot.
There is no point trying to maim sombody like that as ;
It probably wont stop him 'coz of the adrenalin/drugs
if you miss you could hit an innocent bystander
if you dont miss and you do ■■■■■■■ him then he will turn round and sue anyway.
But in this particular case there is a whiff of sea creature in the air
How is it that he was first reported to the police just after 06.00 for
newspaper:
driving along the A63 at 60 mph with his headlights on full beam
He then crashed his van at the little chef 20 mins later
If he had been doing 60 mph for 20 mins he would have been on the M62 by then
Inspector Steve Page said::
"About 6.20am this morning police were called to the A63 in East Yorkshire to a report of a van driving the wrong way down the east bound carriageway west of Welton
At this point it is a traffic violation
Inspector Steve Page said::
"Armed response officers were dispatched to the scene.
If the first the police knew he was “armed” was when he crashed how come there was already an A.R.V there to shoot him with the baton rounds?
What is a sword type weapon eitherr it was a sword or it wasnt
Inspector Steve Page said::
Although police would not reveal any further details, the armed response unit is only usually dispatched if officers receive information a suspect could be armed and dangerous.
So how could they have known about the weapon before he crashed and got out of the vehicle
There have been a couple of incidents with the police and armed response units to hit the headlines
The first most famous would be the man shot whilst carrying a chair leg because he was “turning to face/point the weapon at them”
I’m sorry but if sombody shouts at me from behind the first thing I would do is turn around to see what the fuss was about
The second was an incident where a lad (I think he was 18 or 19) left a supermarket after buying some ■■■■ he got in his car ,then a police car (A.R.V) pulls alongside him & asks him to switch off the engine but he is in a stolen car so tries to drive off but a courier van blocks him in, He is now trapped with nowhere to go as there are vehicles on 3 sides of him.
The armed officer now gets out of his vehicle and promtly shoots him dead through the windscreen of the stolen car.
This last case the officer was charged with murder by the C.P.S and taken to court the first trial was stopped (cant remember why) and a second trial was held The first trial had loads of publicity as did the second but there was never any publicity of the verdict
I’m wondering if he was found guilty and the pulicity was blocked to protect his identity in prison?
Having said all that there was the case a couple of xmas’es ago when some loon went ape with a sword in a church just up the road from me.
I’m just glad the spanish police showed a bit of restraint and all I had in my hand was a C.M.R
