Spanish tough on crime

Not sure how to link to it but go to www.yahoo.co.uk and have a look at the police ramming a biker in the news section.

I saw that about 5 mins ago but couldnt find a link to paste!!

That can never be legal can it!?

Surely they could of just used a stinger to make his tyres deflate!?!

[ProXimaCore]

I'm watching this without the sound on at work here. Can someone fill me in on why they done that? That made me feel physically sick seeing that.

To be fair that guy isn't just some guy on a bike - he IS a dangerous criminal so although the response may of been harsh it wasn't entirely unjustified.

The story doesnt exactly say what happened to end it, so you have to watch the video clip.

Edit: Link for video

Stupid! Hope that copper loses his job.

[ProXimaCore]

Makes a bit more sense reading the story. But still.... I'm not sure wether to say that was a good idea or not. I'm sure they could have dealt with it a little less drastically than that.

Personally, I don't think whatever the biker did deserved a police ramming It could've killed him or maimed/disabled him for life! He should sue After robbing a bank he should have enough to get a decent lawyer

Hi

Seems quite common on the US clips on shows such as "Police, Camera, Action". Many years ago it was rumoured that the police used to do it around Chelsea Bridge.

In the UK they are not allowed to use the Stinger against bikes (and its use is somewhat restricted after a few coppers using it have been injured).

All the best

nope - a scumbag is a scumbag is a scumbag, whether he is riding a bike or not

if he was involved in an armed robbery they can run the fucker off the road and dump him in a ditch for all I care

I'm with Mr C on this one.

If your going to rob a bank, take hostages then threaten peoples lives with grenades... being knocked off a bike at speed is NOTHING compared to what /should/ be done.

Theres nothing wrong with that at all. should be done in the UK too. If your going to rob a bank and put lives at risk why should we protect your safety and let you get away?

bank robbers = scum and should be shot at first opportunity.

If you have a problem with that then don't go rob a fooking bank!

Yeah danny but like Mr C said, there is a BIG difference between speeding and putting a loading gun to someones head and demanding cash just before you threaten 2 blokes with a hand grenade unless your given more money and some drugs

I see where your coming from danny, but I don't mean to knock off all criminals if speeding is such a big crime, but I mean they should take those measures when it comes to armed robbery, car chases etc for more serious offenses.

But the UK government, well if they shoot someone robbing a bank and kill them, then they wont be able to give them a fine and get more money in their back pockets.

That's the way it looks in this country anyway. Government is too greedy and everyone knows what happens when your too greedy. Won't be too long before something happens about it I doubt. And no doubt chaos will ensue and we'll then run the UK into the ground, the USA will then come save us and then maybe we can have a decent governmental system, as long as that President blokey isn't involved

yes I think we should publicly execute people for riding past schools at 70mph or any other built up area

by peeling off their skin with potato peelers and popping their eyeballs with cocktail sticks




sheesh lighten up

still think no mercy should be shown for armed robbery and such though - all's fair when trying to stop a getaway vehicle, bike or otherwise
