What’s a ‘police union’? Last time I checked, we weren’t allowed to unionise.
‘Scottish Police Federation Chief’ doesn’t have the same drama, I suppose.
Pull the trigger and expect to be stabbed in the back by the worthless cowards at the IOPC/Ombudsman/PIRC, thrown under the bus by spineless cretins of senior managers and have your personal details published and hit pieces run on you by shitbag journos and degenerate activists who would rather see society burn than 1 criminal be justifiably shot.
I’m a serving police officer and I, along with all of my colleagues believe firmly that the time has long since come for us to be routinely armed but would refuse to be until there are actual guarantees in place to prevent the usual witch hunts and feral behaviour from the press that accompany any sort of police shooting.
They’ve got snipers trained on my cutlery drawer… just waiting for me to butter some toast
When a certain ethnic group were running around Hanley/Stoke carrying actual swords and chasing people through the streets, the police asked them nicely to “please put your weapons back in the building”. Where was this tough-guy attitude then?
The idiot lacks nuance.
We have American police coming here to learn how we de-escalate knives with riot shields and a fast response. Shooting is what we move to last unless circumstances dictate otherwise.
Remember the old joke about how heaven and hells jobs are settled? The Police Force in Heaven is ideally British, and not because we shoot first.
This sounds fair. In practise any police officer with firearm is probably worried about consequences and private / public / legal investigation if they shoot anyone. When they do they job they get in trouble even more compared to not doing it
What if I’m just cutting up an apple? I carry a UK legal knife every single day, are they going to stop and check if it’s a legal knife before murdering me?
This seems like a pretty extreme move towards American policing when we should be distancing ourselves from it.
Just in case people don’t know you are still legally allowed to carry a knife in the UK, it just needs to be 3 inches or less and non locking.
Is Gene Hunt the chief constable now?
“Come out, you’re surrounded by armed bastards!” Should be a preset on all police loudhailers
English coppers can actually disarm a knife man with nothing
