A serious-sized bollock has been dropped in this case, it would appear!

Police officer shot and man who was being detained shot. No police guns fired.

Sounds like he might have shot himself?

he did but I don' think he's dead.

Some reports say he THEN turned the gun on himself but survived (guess he missed!).

Fucking hell, the misery is constant isn't it. Poor officer, poor family. Heart goes out to them.

'Fighting for his life'.

Although that hackneyed phrase is maybe a bit off if he tried to shoot himself!

Rip to the officer, should have left the c**t who shot him out the back to bleed out.

Stole the officers gun?

Or wasn't searched prior to entering a custodial building?

Terribly sad

The police report on twitter says no police firearms were fired so I guess it something the guy had concealed?

It could have been a lot worse if he smuggled a gun in, he could have taken a few officers out.

Not properly searched is my complete guess.. Terribly tragic mistake if true

Most of the time a full proper body search will be conducted on handing over to the on duty custody sergeant. On the scene quite often only a light search is done, this of course depends on the circumstance of the arrest. I imagine he was resisting arrest and got cuffed. He ended up in the back of a police car without any further contact I would imagine. Then when he was released from cuffs for further searching and incarceration at the station he pulled out a gun and started shooting.

By the sounds of it he then turned it on himself but fucked it up.

Hang the bastard.

Isn’t that giving him what he wants?

To be honest... The world could do with 1 less evil c**t breathing save some oxygen for the rest I say

Not against the death penalty at all me... But that's another discussion entirely

Wish I didn't go on twitter to look up this... Popped on the CNN tweet about it and a couple people seem strangely happy about this (Americans).

Also a particular radio 4 host needs to take her face for a shit.

Don’t believe in good or evil personally, that’s for kids books, but thats not my point. Even if you’re pro death penalty, should it be used with someone to attempted suicide? Was only being slightly facetious.

I know... It is what he wants so let nature take its course I say

Arrested for possession of ammunition, not searched properly or handcuffed? This isn’t going to encourage decent men to join the force

I saw in a statement from the police that they are wary about searching people now... This can't continue... This nonsense has to stop

If you want a highly functioning society you can't have people going round shooting the police or the police shooting members of the public for that matter.
Fortunately both rare in this country. That doesn't make it any better for this officers family though.

I think we all have to accept America isn’t a functioning society.

Understandable really the police may as well have the handcuffs on themselves. Though their paymasters seem more relaxed when they are intimidating old dears sitting too close on a bench

2020 you have excelled yourself

I bet Twitter is a cesspit today with them idiots on there.

There's also been a machete attack by the Charlie hebdo offices today in Paris... 4 people injured

America disgusts me, I'm sorry but it's a fucking mess.

 

[CovInEssex]

So was he actually arrested or did he run in from the street? Seems a lot of guessing at the mo

Haven't they just reprinted the infamous cartoons?
Fair play to them is so they've got some bollocks.

Yes I believe they have... Although the printing of a fictional cartoon god shouldn't warrant murder in the first place

Definitely not.

Just as we were starting to escape the shackles of Christianity there is now another flipping cult taking over

Sadly humans don’t need religion to believe nonsense and use it as an excuse to attack others. Just look at the QAnon mentalists.

We really need a second enlightenment.
