I remember watching that farce on TV, and people were crying as if he was some sort of Golden child? I know he was someones son but if you condone criminal behaviour as far as im concerned your just as bad! So if some scrote wants to steal my car, best of luck to them.
Yes there are plenty of decent officers out there doing there level best to do the job even if they get little thanks for it! Ive got family in the force and they do their best they can under difficult circumstances, but it is sickening when the Police get all the evidence and some soppy do gooder left wing judge gives them a pitiful sentence!! , now look whats happening in London with the Met and that awful woman in charge undermining all the hard work decent Police officers to do the job and tick boxing seems to be order of the day alongside the Major of London who shall remain nameless but you know who he is!The person that was killed was the scum of the earth, how he was portrayed was obscene, to subsequently put a price on the head of this farmer was disgusting. but in this country we cannot lay in wait and simply blast away with a pump-action shotgun!! That is not how things work
We cannot, the Police cannot shoot anyone when they are running away from you unless there are very strict, very limited circumstances.. which most definitely did not apply in this case. It was very sadly plain murder. A jury on a 10 - 2 majority found this man who had mental problems who was not allowed to possess a firearm and the list of reasons goes on and on. Having done some research the farmer alleges he was burgled on multiple times... How can anyone disbelief those claims, but..... It would appear that there were no police records of any complaint?? I could understand now, in the 21st century the public trying to contact the police then when the phone is not answered, getting frustrated and hanging up. it would be quicker to use a carrier pigeon.
We can dress this up how we want but it was murder and yes friends?? whatever we want to call them of the two scumbags allegedly put a price on the farmer's head!! Was that talk or media hype? I am NOT defending those low-lifes our police might not be where we want them, when we want them but let's not forget how similar scumbags deliberately with their car dragged a police officer to his death when all that officer was doing was his job, so our police might not be perfect, but by crikey most of them police in a way that is the envy of the World.
I like to think I was a decent police officer.. Quick example
My dog and I attended a burglary at a hotel where the villain had been disturbed.. I was shown into the hotelier's bedroom and sat on the bed was the wife in tears, she was holding the edge of her wedding dress, now we come to an unbelievable act.. The burglar had done a number two right in the centre of this dress?? The hotel was in the process of being decorated and luckily for me, it was empty. Off I went with my trusty pooch and low and behold my dog found this charming villain hiding behind a false panel in one of those empty rooms.
Sadly this burglar struggled and received some deep puncture wounds in his leg (fourteen stitches need) On the way downstairs, the husband came thundering up these same stairs towards us. I assume he was desperate to go to the toilet. Sadly when the husband passed by my handcuffed prisoner there was an accidental collision which resulted in the prisoner having two broken teeth and a broken nose!! The husband fell against a wall and bruised his hand... Nuff said. I slept easy that night, my dog was happy and he slept very well. But the poor husband and wife I am guessing were not so happy. Yup, I dread to think what would have happened if that husband had a knife or firearm, but the law is the law and thank goodness our courts do not try to justify murder.
At the time that shooting caused a lot of discussion with law enforcement and the justice department. The farmer had his sentence altered on technicalities and certainly not someone I would introduce to my family.
I would like to think that even today, the police would need significant evidence before charging the alleged victim of violence toward a disturbed burglar. Thank goodness our laws are significantly different from those in the USA
As an aside, I was hit over the head several times and then kicked multiple times in my spine by two burglars so never tell me I am soft on villans
Light relief

I was part of our force display team and this is a rehearsal where my dog keeps quiet, and I go round ringing a bell and shouting hot-dogs.. Cue that villan who mugs me, steals my money bag and then shouts out...."Whilst I'm here, I'll have a hot-dog!!" Yup he got a hot dog, the dog had been quiet and by crikey this amused the crowds
I bought 4 of these for work, they have used 0.6mb of data in 9 months, so my giffgaff sim still has £9.90 of the £10 left on it, standby is 3 months, but you can permanently hardwire them to a 12v then hide behind the trim in the boot, centre console or wherever - cheap as chips, work perfectly
