This cunt got what he deserved!

Personally I think the guy had lost the plot. He was capable of doing harm to others at any stage. Therefore he opened himself up to being hurt or killed. If the situation continued he would have been shot. He is probably lucky with the outcome.

Ed's just out of it on his drugs.

The first step should be to contain the problem - not just mow it down without thought.

That's the trouble though - there's no shortage of police who are incapable of thinking.

We've got plenty of our own right here.

How long would you expect the cops to cruise alongside the guy waiting for the dog-handler to turn up.

Likewise other resources (bean-bag gun, tazer etc) may not have been suitable 'cos to use them may mean being within rifle range and in view of the nutter.

My 2-cents of logic...

He never took a pot shot at any of the people who were walking past, that suggests to me he was not intent on doing innocents harm.

I love this thread - it's got real key-board warriors who have never had/never will have a job where they are faced to figure out what to do with a mobile armed nutter....I'm sure I'll learn a lot from them about how I should do my job!

So, did you mow down yours then?

Probably not.

That would require the ability to learn.

What a fucking moronic post.

Yes... Yes I could

However, I asked a question. Would you be happy to see the offender get away, in the hope the police may catch up with them later ?

True. It was a bit OTT. However, the decision was made in the heat of the moment, by someone who spends all day every day dealing with the dregs of society. Perhaps that had a bearing on the decision ?

But for how long?

And if one innocent decided to be a hero and disarm him?

Remember, he's a nutter.

Guy with gun walks into a house and takes hostage. So many outcomes. Armed man with probable mental issues impossible to predict next move.
Not sure why everyone gets angry when someone posts their opinions. If we all had the same opinion about things we wouldn't bother communicating with anyone.
