How on earth has a handcuffed individual manage to shoot a police office dead and shoot himself inside a police station? |  | | |  |

The police were too worried to search him apparently due to stop and search targets. Either that or the police are rediculous naive and / or stupid. [Post edited 25 Sep 2020 22:58]

It takes seconds to pat down a suspect. One of the reasons he was picked up was involving the possession of ammunition. Why wouldn’t you do it? | | | |

Apparently a Sri Lankan on the terrorist watch list

Gun was hidden in "personal" area apparently though how he got to it quickly enough to use it is mind boggling |  | | |

I'm looking forward to seeing Lewis Hamilton up on the podium wearing a tee shirt condemning the shooting of an unarmed white policeman by a member of an 'ethnic minority' group'. | | | |

Can only imagine the police did not want to stop and search him properly in the street for the fear of having an iPhone thrust in their face and being branded as racist. | |

its true, the whole narrative around the support for the Police has been disgraceful lately.
only a couple of months ago, a policewoman was put in hospital and it was all brushed off as "largely peaceful" issues.
only the other night, Policemen (in London) were scarred for life after being doused in acid..but who cares, right? | |

The violence on our streets (plus the total disregard for the Covid rules) by some is disgusting. But I'm afraid (and surprised) that Boris is being far too soft on this and weak. The police should be empowered to do their job. Boris should be backing them up with stop and search, introducing a curfew and powers to water cannon and disperse. It's all so soft, that crime is on the rise and innocent people are getting killed.

they are empowered. However, they chose to make tik toks at Gay Pride events and bend the knee to angry mobs who want them out of business.
The police are frozen in a way that can be demonstrated by the horrendous tweet by Dawn Butler. Who has the nerve to pipe up about this tragic event. [Post edited 26 Sep 2020 13:41]

I would like to see more robust support from Boris. The Conservatives have traditionally been tough on on crime. But from what I can see, is people flouting the Covid rules and police being killed all over the country. Criminals are looking at this thinking "this is easy". And I agree, they spend time bending the knee, only for one white man to be dragged from the back of a car to his death, and another white man shot in a police station, by a gang member from Croydon. But Boris should stop all this nonsense. [Post edited 26 Sep 2020 13:49]

Why do you mention “white”? Surely the problem is that people are being killed. | | | |

Because we have a black lives matter campaign going on, suggesting that the police are killing black people. What about when it's the other way around. Why did I mention colour? Because its mentioned every day. There we go, division causes division.
I agree, all lives matter, black or white. So why have a protest just for black deaths? White people get innocently and brutally killed too. The BLM campaign, urging the defunding of the police and saying all police are racist, is resulting in many officers being killed. [Post edited 26 Sep 2020 14:12]

Why shouldn’t he? The word ‘black’ is often used when reporting crime, or would you you prefer some form of lexicon apartheid when it comes to reporting events? |  |

What has being white got to do with it?
The unfortunate victim was a New Zealander.
He may have been Maori or Polynesian. | | | |

Just another coincidental statistic.
This case is understandably very emotive because a policeman was killed on duty. | | | |

What’s a coincidental statistic? |
Responding to the question about the incidence of black deaths in custody.
Some would argue that it's a coincidence.
I don't share that view.
I do believe that it's more newsworthy, although not as newsworthy or outrageous as a a cop being killed in the line of duty. | | | |
