i'm going to get in trouble here. Without knowing the story, it's automatic the pigs abusing their power. If he was just a kid driving illegal and had his mums car then deffo an overreaction. It all sounds well and good to nick them afterwards but the amount of times i hear stories of gang members nicking bikes/cars/robbing places and fleeing on bikes and police cant' chase them down for fear of accidents, i don't think i would mind them getting shot rather than the soft touch of nothing usually happening to them (or thats the impression i get) It's a fine line though cause once the police get that power then it'll just get abused like in the states so i guess better the devil you know
The flip side is, if this kid respected authority and didn’t try runaway from the police when he was told to stay where he was, he’d still be alive today. He was clearly no angel and he had something to hide. Doesn’t mean he deserves to die but respect the police and you stay alive.
Have said this before on here but if you go to somewhere like America (or France now it seems) and a cop tells you to stop and drop you do it.
Depends on the state in the US tbh. In fact, depends on the county. Some counties are soft as ****, some are ruthless. In general, the British police are good imo
First time I encountered the police I was dragged 100 metres from the park to my mothers home by the scruff of the neck and it was a simple ‘Your sons being a prat and causing trouble’. My Mother cracked me before I’d got both feet in the door
I got whacked by the coppers when I was kid, then your mother would whack you twice as hard if she found out. There was no shouting police brutality in them days, no one gave a shhite. To be fair as well, I accepted I deserved a clout from the copper, I didn't go crying about it. The old saying, if you can't do the time don't do the crime. Something like that anyway.
This is the problem with the comfortable westerner No Love Island on in Pakistan so I guess they still had enough in the tank to give a few ****s about real issues
was scared of my dad more than a pig the thought process was never… what if cops find out it was ALWAYS what if my dad finds out
I really struggle to know what must go through the head of a 23 year old cretin, who opens up a sub machine gun in a crowded pub. Cowardly, weak, reckless and just plain dumb. Anyway, he's got 48 long years now to think on his actions. https://news.sky.com/story/elle-edw...-machine-gun-attack-on-christmas-eve-12916532
and some **** of an arsonist who killed a mum and her 2 children got 44 years Think our judges have suddenly got the message
Can't judges lay down higher sentences now than previously? No idea if that's because of Brexit or whatever, but it appears these days sentences are 20+ years higher than usual.
I don't think it's anything to do with brexit, I think they just laid down some tougher sentences at long last. Some people still not getting long enough though, although as Solid has said, judges have finally got the message with the last two crimes we mentioned.
40+ years is a hell of a sentence. We have had soft sentences in the UK for ages now though, it was ridiculous. How many repeat offenders do they need?
