Another Brit cop murder in fear crazed UK?

Ben

If you are referring to the G20 incident, i think you will find nobody was murdered. Murder, is the unlawful killing of a reasonable creature in being with malice aforethought, express or implied. The officer neither intended to kill nor did he intent to cause GBH.

I also think you will find the man died of a heart attack. This is (arguably) remote, from being 'pushed to the ground by officers' who in my opinion, didn't contribute to the mans death.

Oh PLEASE!

The British Police are working with their hands tied compared to most Police I've seen.

In the UK they go on the streets unarmed (Which I agree with) wearing stab proof vests.
In all the countries I've worked in - and there are a lot, I'm currently in South America- the Police would have been cracking heads, using tear gas and baton round - thats rubber bullets to you - and hosing the protestors with water cannon and dye so they can pick up the protestors later when they had time to dry out in a nice shade of blue.

I also think your definition of murder is slightly off but no doubt adds to the sensationalism

The UK police force is soft in comparison to other Police forces around the world.. Would you rather they fired rubber bullets in the crowd or threw in the odd tear gas here and there?

And the man having a heart condition which he probably wasn't even aware of is hardly the fault of the Police force is it? It was extremely stupid and uncalled for, for the policeman to push him, but he didn't know what the consequences would be, did he?

You seemed to of missed the part where the Police had to protect the man whilst he was being treated, and protesters threw bottles at them, interesting huh?

- Thumbs down for having a conflicting opinion..nice.

As trasosmontes said... It's nice to know were not alike.

And who would be the first to go screaming to the police for help if he found himself in real trouble?

Thanks for the thumb down. Gives me a warm glow that we are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

the poor bugger was nothing to do with the riot. he was walking from the other side. but i expect that the murdering b@stard will get off with a caution. after all they aren't our police force any more are they. just new labours private army/ and revenue collectors.

WooAne

What were police officers faced with a riot supposed to do? People get pushed and some fall to the floor.

The man had a heart condition that the police officer could not have forseen.

When I lived in the UK, I found the Brit's to be a brave and intrepid people. To hear that the UK is fear crazed is... well, disheartening.

It happens in the USA too..
