second, it appears and according to the IPCC, that the guy who got shot hadn't fired at police, and reports suggest it was still in his sock when they shot him. if he is brandishing the thing then fine - danger to life is obvious. if not the police ballsed it up. not helped by a bunch of them battering a 16 year old girl on the floor outside the station when the family turn up wanting to know what happened.

The ones with reactivated guns are petty criminals,I'm talking about the real ones,do you really think there's no stacks of assault rifles from former eastern block arsenals? Smuggling stuff in this country is still incredibly easy,get a ferry to the continent and see how many controls you go through,I was shocked the first time I crossed the Channel: NO control whatsoever,no police presence,nothing!
