I've posted this on GC, so I'll post it here just the same....
Can I ask you a question....
I hear what you are saying and I am hearing what other people are saying that a copper could have died with him ramming the block, I disagree with this take but I'll accept it.
So the question, when the rioters were terrorising people by smashing up their homes and cars, whether be left, right, white, black, muslim, christian, when the rioters were attempting to burn down a hotel with migrants assumed inside, when coppers were cornered and being battered by a baying mod, some hospitalised, why didn't we shoot them?
I know of the two scenarios which one would have scared me more, yet we treated it differently, with a different approach, regardless of some receiving long sentences later, people's lives were at threat just the same.
