I thoroughly agree that this stupid man was shot entirely due to his own fault. Waving a gun around at our (sometimes) trigger-happy Police is daft in the extreme. Incidentally, what on earth has he got through his nose ? Makes him look even more porcine than normal. Whatever is he going to do when he loses his good looks ?

[jno]

what on earth have his looks got to do with any of this?

Yes, he behaved like an idiot.

[viv38]

Deserved all he got.

[mikey4444]

jno...nothing much I suppose but I was just wondering why anybody would go out of their way to make their already unprepossessing face look any worse.

If you point a gun at armed police you get shot.

[mikey4444]

Sometimes you can point a chair leg, in a carrier bag at a Plod and get shot ludwig...dead as I recall !

[ludwig]

True, and sometimes you don't even have to point anything at them. They just have to think you're carrying a bomb.

All of which makes pointing an actual gun at them even more stupid - unless you're looking to commit suicide of course.

[mikey4444]

I think that this chap was lucky that the armed response unit on duty that day didn't have a trigger-happy Pold, who would have shot to kill and then hot off scot-free.

[ludwig]

Perhaps the pold was trigger happy but just aiming to incapacitate him with a leg shot.

He must have missed the fact that he was already in a wheelchair.

On the up side, they've found the missing link.

[ludwig]

^ missing clues like that is probably why he's in the Armed Response Unit and not CID.

[ludwig]

Yes, it's in that bloke's nose by the looks of it.

[jno]

it's possible he thought the wheelchair was some sort of 007 affair that fired nuclear missiles from under the armrests.

[SeaJayPea]

"After they were forced to discharge their firearms they immediately took on the role of saving his life. I commend them all for their actions on that day."

That's about it. They certainly got this one right. What a to$$er.

[Mamyalynne]

They got it absolutely right, yes.

[pusskin]

Yeee, the police made the right choice. He did ask to be shot.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah shoot the ugly bast+rd....
and if he is really ugly - shoot him some more !

you did say airgun, didncha ?

[wolf63]

He looks as if his head is on upside down.

The police did only what they had to. They had to stop the guy before he hurt someone. He threatened to shoot the dog - that is dirty.

I am not too sure how a man in a wheelchair could be shot in the thigh though.

[mrs.chappie]

What a t**t, threatening to shoot the dog. That is the lowest of the low. Disabled or not, he's a scumbag in my book.
