What a bloody brave man. Poor sod.

I cant believe the mentality of people who actually think that steroid pumping murdering barsteward (raoul moat, not OJ simpson)is a hero or legend.

Im pissed that the police even negotiated with him..once located he should have been immediately dispatched.

Mind you that may have drove Gazza to drink:ohmy:

Does any sane person have a remote interest in seeing the Police get investigated over the stinger issue?

No, my sisters a copper in Northumberland and lives close to Rothbury. He should have been put down.

There is an anti-police vibe in some quarters in the UK, they cant do anything right, maybe if people came here they might appreciate the UK force a bit more.

Was it 1400 or 4000 pages of new instructions last year...and mountains of paperwork..not much real policing going to happen.

seriously, i am waiting for the enquiry and the police to get slated over this.

completely different circumstances but just like when the SAS killed those IRA in Gibraltar in the 80's. The fact that they actually ended up in court was comical (okay the were always going to get off) but it did set the scene for the way the country is going and as been proved with time.. gone.
