The behaviour of the senior police over Hillsborough cover up and the two female officers killed on a routine call in Manchester.

Your police still go unarmed?

we have about 100 police killed on duty each year. Used to be higher but the police remilitarised a few years ago.

Senseless. and 2 female cops walk into an empty building alone and unarmed? It seems like the UK police has been caught out and found wanting a few times recently. The Tomlinson thing and now this....Their training doesnt seem adequate to how society is changing.

I struggle to believe that any police officer would be allowed to be anywhere near an operation like this . Without a firearm.

This bloke was wanted for double murder and lobbing a hand grenade at one of his possible victims and they send 2 unarmed female police officers .

No matter what happened this was really badly handled and who ever was in charge should resign but doubt that will happen.

who ever pulled the trigger should hang.

[Kradmelder]

It doesnt say the cops were called out because the suspect was inside. It says a routine call out. Perhaps someone heard something and called the cops suspecting vagrants in an empty house.

Even still, the wisdom fo sending 2 unarmed females is questionable.

It looks like he had an 'accident in the shower' since walking into the police station.

Tragic events.

The two officers were attending a simple burglary call, nothing linked the wanted man to the address, nor was the phone used to call linked to the man. He knew what he was doing, it's a simple trap, the man is evil, having already killed two civilians in an apparent family war. No sentence in our legal system is severe enough for a quadruple murderer, all if which were premeditated and severe.

The question of arming all police is a simple one, it shouldn't happen. We don't have as many guns readily available as the US for example, there is no need for it. Once all police are armed it will be a case of who has the bigger gun between the police and offenders and that isn't a good society to live in.

I doubt it would have made much difference if they were armed. If it was a trap they'd have been dead before they got a chance to return fire.

In case anyone is unclear on the motivation, I'd guess that the animal reckoned that he was going down for life anyway, and wanted the (ostensible) prison cachet of being a cop killer.

So now he's going down as a girl cop killer. Big man, I hope he gets brain fucked in that eye socket by Denzil the Donkey from D Wing.

The only difference having these officers armed would have made would be to provide the gunman with two free, well maintained, high quality hanguns and 4 spare mazagines.

arming the police isn't the issue
this was a setup aimed at killing two innocent people which he accomplished
the fact he turned himself in and didn't go on a killing spree is a blessing
he knew he was going down for life why not take out a cop station with a grenade

hope he rot's in hell, he killed for the sake of killing another 2 humans

The only reason this piece of scum handed himself in at the police station is down to the fact that he is a total fucking coward, who knew that if he didn't he would have found himself in an armed siege situation and could have been hurt or killed himself.

Nothing I can think of can be a bad enough punishment for this utter piece of shit.

[Seb]

As much as it's clear that this guy is scum and patently isn't going to get the punishment he deserves in this country, I can't help but wince at that MP calling for the death penalty for those that kill coppers. That's one slippery slope right there, what about the other two people that were murdered, do they and their families not have the same right to justice?

The local paper in Stalybridge had that scum bag on their front page a couple of weeks ago with a warning of, if you see him basically run fast and far and ring the rozzers.
They have a wonderful way with words. He's a total coward, killing two innocent police officer. I don't like how the media is distinguishing a difference between women and men coppers, it seems they have the angle of, it's coppers and they're both women, double horror.

Poor dears. RIP
